Subwoofer

[BBsyah]

Hi.. Using a factory fit oem head unit.. Previous owner had change the front 2 speakers.. Was wondering if I had a subwoofer installed..

 

1) do I need a amplifier?

2) if I dun.. How will the sound quality.. I just want the boom effect..

[Urbanfade]

1) Yes if your hu w/o in built amp

2) If you dun, the boom effect will only be available till you increase yr volume

but very lousy bass.

choosing a sub for swift can b challenging considering the boot size..anyw TS, yes u need an extra amp, if its jus powering ur sub without touching ur current setup, jus take those 2 channel wil do.

A basic 30cm woofer plus a mono-block amp will cost only $500.

I can source the individual components and hook it up for you.

You will get super duper booming BASS to knock your brains out....oh you will get weak batteries too.

you can also consider active woofer which no need a extra amp, is slim and easily put under your seat.

easy to spoil and cannot blast very loud :(

[SimonTan]

Active easily spoil?

 

I daisy chained two in my previous car. Under the two front seats, very satisfying for those who likes bass in the a$$ feeling.

Also takes up unused space anyway.

bro can share what u brand u installed, from where and damage

[SimonTan]

Just get it from mustafa or SLT.

Installation is easy, $50 from most audio shop.

There are many brands of exactly the same item.

All from the same factory in china.

Steelmate brabd is common and cheap.

then just get a 3 channel amp + sup can liao, 2 channel for front L/R speaker and 1 channel for sub.

[Forte3737]

for sub, its best to use a mono amp. this will ensure it has enough power to pump the bass

get at least a 4 channel amp. 2 for the front speakers. the other 2 channels bridge togther to power the sub.

then you need a mono amp to power the sub. the effect is better.

if budget tight. get a 4 channel amp at least
