How to Choose the Best Home Theater Under Seat Subwoofer

If you’re serious about home theater, or just want to hear some banging bass in your car, a subwoofer is essential. Powered subwoofers deliver the low frequencies (from 20-200 Hz) that traditional two or surround sound speakers can’t reproduce on their own, and are critical to a great music and movie experience.

In fact, most people’s home audio system will suffer without a good quality subwoofer. There are many different types of subwoofers available, including a home theater under seat subwoofer, and they come in all shapes and sizes to suit a variety of rooms and listening preferences. But how do you choose the best one for your needs? And how do you get the most out of your new subwoofer? This article will provide some tips and tricks for finding and using the perfect home theater under seat subwoofer.

How to choose the best under seat subwoofer

The first thing to consider when deciding on the right sub for your home is how much you’re willing to spend. There are tons of lower-cost options promoted on the AV enthusiast forums that can be had for about $100 or less, but these brands generally offer inferior measurements and fit-and-finish.

More importantly, you want to make sure the subwoofer will be able to generate enough output to fill your room with deep, rich bass. For this reason, you’ll want to choose a model with at least an 8” woofer. This will ensure that your subwoofer will be able to play the low notes in any song or soundtrack, and will be powerful enough to shake the foundation of your car when playing action or sci-fi movies.

Next, you’ll want to determine the ideal location for your subwoofer. This is a difficult question to answer since there are often many factors competing for your attention – decor and visual impact considerations, available floor space, foot traffic areas, optimal sound quality, etc. In some cases, there is literally only a single spot in your room where the subwoofer will sound best.

Once you’ve settled on a location, it’s time to experiment with the frequency response of your system. Listen to a bunch of songs that have big, full bass and move around the room, trying the subwoofer in each position to see how the low notes sound. You’ll be surprised at how much the room’s acoustics can change the overall sound of your system.

Some of the more advanced subwoofers will include built-in room correction to help you get the most out of your subwoofer. This technology uses a microphone to measure the acoustics of your room and adjusts the subwoofer’s internal settings to compensate. This will prevent the big, boomy bass that can result from a poorly-optimized setup.

Finally, if you have the budget for it, adding a second under-seat sub will take your system to another level. With two subwoofers, you can ensure that all of your guests can enjoy the rich, deep bass of your home theater setup.
