An edge car subwoofer has an main role in an audio system to deliver bass and to add that extra thump to your music. If you have just installed an car audio system into your car and are not happy with how loud your car subwoofer sounds, then there are many things that you can consider to gain more output out of your system. There are many different settings and factors that you can change to fine tune how the bass sounds in your car and the loudness.
The first important thing is the headunit. This is the main component in an car audio system that distributes the sound to your car amplifiers and of course to your car speakers. If your using an factory headunit, your not going to get the best out of your car subwoofer. This is because they don't have an low pass filter setting on them, they have weak RCA output voltage as you will be using an line out converter and no equaliser settings to turn up the bass frequencies. Switching out to an aftermarket kenwood or pioneer radio that is touchscreen will have all the car audio features on it to get the most out of your car audio system.
You can have the best car subwoofer in the world, but it not in an custom subwoofer enclosure, the bass will not be optimised. An box has to be purpose built for the car subwoofer, you can't simply get some wood and seal it up and make an square. The subwoofer box has to have the correct cubic volume inside in order for the car subwoofer to perform its best. Usually when you purchase an car subwoofer brand new, it will come with an paper manual with detailed box specifications you can use to make your own subwoofer box out of MDF or provide to your box builder. Usually, when people are new to car audio, they get an cheap prefabricated subwoofer box that is random and plonk there subwoofer inside it. An custom ported vented subwoofer box tuned to 35HZ is the sweet spot for loudness and good overall musical sound quality. An ported box will take more space than an sealed box, but the performance is double on the same power your car amplifier outputs. The enclosure makes the sound and the subwoofer fitted into it will certainly benefit from an custom box by an professional. If you want an custom subwoofer box making please contact us.
Bridging your car amplifier is another way to make your car subwoofer louder. What bridging is using both stereo channels and creating an mono output from it. So it simple terms, you are adding power from one channel with the second channel. For example 100 rms per each channel, bridging it will make an total output of 200 rms. Also the lower the final ohm load on the car amplifier, the more power the car amplifier will produce. The lower the ohms the less electrical resistance placed on the output transistors resulting in more power. You will need to find out what the lowest ohm load your car amplifier can handle and find diagrams online on how to wire your car subwoofer to the lowest ohm load your car amp can be stable at.
Bass boost on an car amplifier is usually an preset equaliser frequency, usually 50 HZ or 60 HZ and turning this up will increase the amount of bass around this sound. Bass boost if used correctly can make your car subwoofer perform louder and more deeper. But remember not to turn it fully up as this will cause the subwoofer to play distortion or clipping, which can eventually cause an blown subwoofer. The best way to turn the bass boost feature on an car amplifier is to slowly turn it up until you hear the sound quality drop. When the speaker starts farting and you can no longer hear deep bass but just noise, then reduce the bass boost until the sound becomes distortion free.
