Slim Subwoofer

Obtain Enhanced Sound in a Compact Space Using Slim Subwoofers

If you want to find a product that gives you a large sound in a reduced package, eBay has the slim subwoofer you need. Locate new, used, and refurbished speakers at prices you just cannot turn down. Whether it's for your car, your home, or your home theatre, a skinny subwoofer gives you big sound in a small, little bundle of powerful fun.

You can tweak your system to improve and increase the bass from your slim subwoofer with built in amp. These tips should help:

• Adjust your amp gain to remove distortion ' set the amp gain low and turn the receiver up until you hear distortion then lay off the volume until you hear clear sound, then turn amp gain up until sound distorts and back off gain until sound clears again.
• Turn the thin subwoofer amp's gain as far to the left as is goes, then set the low-pass filter as far to the right as it goes, and adjust the receiver's bass control to the middle setting.
• Listen to music through the receiver while turning up the slim subwoofer with built in amp gain until you hear only the sound from your slim car subwoofer; keep listening and adjust the flat subwoofer amp's low-pass filter down until all high-frequency sound is gone.
• If you have bass boost present, slowly increase it to hear the bass. If you hear distortion then turn it down.
• Match your receiver to your slim subwoofer car sound. Turn your receiver as high as it goes without distorting, then turn your slim subwoofer under seat amp's gain until bass seems balanced with the music overall

In order to bring you good bass sound, thin subwoofers need a rigid cone with the ability to move a large amount of air. Here's how some brands accomplish this:

• One uses a heat-sink cone to keep heat from reaching voice coils
• Another uses a hard, carbon-glass fiber cone
• A mica-reinforced composite cone stays rigid for another brand
• Using an aluminum dust cap to protect the cone works for a top maker

You need a strong, tight enclosure. Sealed boxes are probably a good choice if you want a clean and precise sound. This enclosure is also the most compact style.

Ported enclosures are a good option when you want more power and higher volume. A bandpass box gives you great sound in specific frequency ranges. Part of this is attributed to their large box, so you want to check its dimensions against your available space.
