Best Answer

Subwoofers are loud speakers used for the purpose of reproducing low frequencies (10Hz - 150Hz). They use large magnets to move a firm cone in order to produce the frequencies. A current is passed through the magnet causing the cone to move producing bass. Subwoofers in cars and in home theatre systems use amplifiers to boost electrical power to provide large amounts of the deep notes.

I have 2 15" Kicker CVR subwoofers, custom box, 1200W RMS Audison Amplifier.

Hope that helps
