Amplify Your Bass with These Tips

Then Re-watch Your Favorite Flicks to Spot the Difference

ELEVATE YOUR SOUND EXPERIENCE

Subwoofers play a big role for a quality home theater and music experience. Here’s how to get the most from that low-end sound you love.

OPTIMIZE THE PLACEMENT

Setting a subwoofer in the corner will maximize volume, but some listeners may find the results overly boomy. Moving the subwoofer to the front of the room, close to the main speakers, will improve the blending between higher and lower frequencies. Put on John Wick and move the sub around your room, testing the acoustics of your listening area. Pick the spot where Wick’s relentless vengeance sounds best.

(DRIVER) SIZE MATTERS

Driver size also impacts volume, with larger drivers capable of making up for lower-powered amplifiers. Common sizes range from a 10- or 12-inch subwoofer up to 18-inch models. If you have a low-power amplifier, switch to a sub with large drivers.

DOUBLE UP

If space allows, two subwoofers create room-filling, evenly distributed bass. If you’re serious about your action flicks, a 5.2 setup is right for you.
