A subwoofer is basically a type of loudspeaker that reproduces the lower frequencies in music, referred to as bass and sub-bass. The bass sound is amplified via the woofer. It’s a good idea for car enthusiasts with a love for music to install subwoofers for an elevated sound experience. Subwoofers offer greater clarity in sound, reduce distortion and generate better bass and full spectrum response.
Once you have planned to get subwoofers for your car, you need to think of where to install them. The right placement of the subwoofer is important to enjoy a high-quality sound experience on every journey. Usually, it is installed in the car’s trunk, but there are other places to install a subwoofer in the car.
Let’s find out the best places for subwoofer installation in car.
WHERE TO INSTALL A SUBWOOFER IN A CAR
Installing car speakers is one of the improvements you can make to the sound system, whether you are buying a used car in the UAE or a new one. Here are some space suggestions to place a subwoofer in your car.
TRUNK
If you are getting a big subwoofer then the best place to install a subwoofer in the car is the trunk. The boot space is used very often and that too not completely, hence, you can easily place a big subwoofer there.
Secondly, for perfect sound, place the subwoofers in a way that they either face the back or upside of the car.
REAR SEAT
The rear seat is one of the perfect places to install your car subwoofer for better bass. Though the installation process is difficult in the rear seat, you will experience even sound distribution and outclass bass in your car. You can place the subwoofer facing the ground or front seats. Though the motorist can enjoy the quality sound, the rear seat passengers might not enjoy the music. The sound may be too loud for them, as the speakers are installed very close to them.
CAR’S FRONT/ DASHBOARD
If the motorist wants to enjoy a more smooth and precise bass output, then the dashboard could be a perfect place to install a subwoofer in the car. However, the rear seat passengers will not experience the same sound quality.
UNDER THE SEAT
You can place a subwoofer in the car under the seat if you don’t want a high level of bass output. An 8-inch subwoofer would be perfect, but for a better bass output, you can opt to install two subwoofers under the two front seats. Beneath the seats, the subwoofer sound will be evenly distributed in the entire car.
CAR DOORS
You can also choose to install subwoofers in car doors. It is suggested to place smaller subwoofers that are 2 to 4 inches in size. However, installation of subwoofer in car doors is a difficult process, owing to this reason, the doors are not the preferred first choice by professional technicians.
These were some of the recommended places to install a subwoofer in the car to enjoy great sound quality on every ride. Besides, it is worthwhile to note the placement of subwoofers may vary according to the type of car. For instance, the bass output and acoustics will be different in the cabin of an SUV, sedan, and hatchback. Therefore, to ensure which subwoofer will be a perfect fit for the type of car you own, it is best to ask an expert/professional technician.
Moreover, always keep your car space in mind when buying subwoofers. In addition to new speakers, you can even buy used car speakers online. Used or new, make sure they fit your car’s specifications.
For the safe side take measurements of the space where you want to place it. Moreover, if you are a pro at fixing different auto parts, you can easily upgrade car speakers yourself and save the replacement service charges.
