Looking for a compact subwoofer for your car? Tired of rattling cheap fakes? Dreaming of a powerful right sound, deep soft bass? Maybe you don’t want to compromise on what broadband speakers offer? And think about purchasing separate devices for reproducing high, medium and low frequencies? We bring to your attention an overview of the best compact subwoofers for cars.
Each of the devices described below has different dimensions, case and power to include in the list the whole range of solutions that save space in the car. There are only proven devices that have proven themselves in the market with quality and reliability.
Alpine PWE-V80
- decent sound (minimum non-linear distortion);
- build quality (nice body material, all elements fit perfectly);
- equipment (in addition to the standard set, there are very long wires for connecting: they reach anywhere in the cabin; there are even mounting brackets with screws for the body and body);
- in the case - a turnkey solution that does not require the creation of a sound box or screwing into the cabin frame.
- medium power;
- harsh bass, for an amateur.
Active subwoofer. A crossover (a device that decomposes music into a frequency spectrum and supplies speakers with their respective frequency characteristics) filters from 50 to 105 Hz. There are a lot of wires in the configuration, and they are very long. There will be no problems connecting the power supply. It is connected to the radio via its usual outputs, the amplifier cuts high frequencies on its own. The maximum power is 160 watts. This is quite enough for a medium-sized cabin.
PIONEER TS-Wx130DA
- ultimate sound accuracy;
- wide band of reproduced frequencies (soft dense bass, its clarity and purity);
- new technological materials (imide), reliability due to them;
- in the case - a ready-made solution (no need to cut and glue plywood under the sound box or for a long time to search and prepare a place for installation in the cab).
- lack of power, although sound pressure is present.
This small subwoofer in the car is easy to install even under the seat. Even double-sided tape will hold it tight. But despite the miniature boom box, among the reviews there is certainly an admiration for the quality of the sound itself. Although dry characteristics are similar to other classmates.
Rated at 50 watts, the maximum gives 160. If the car heavyweight TS-W106M seems too serious, here's another model as an alternative. There is a deep bass mode (20-200 Hz), which does not depress. Everything was done very soundly: a large speaker box is made of aluminum, and the speaker coil is made of imide (a heat-resistant polymer with good mechanical properties) and four layers of copper wire.
PIONEER TS-W106M
- tremendous power;
- strength and grace of construction;
- New Technology Materials (IMPP).
- there is no housing, which involves additional costs for creating the desired design.
Workers 250 watts (as much as crazy 1100 watts) even pump a large jeep. The assembly is very high quality and strong. The diffuser itself (the emitter’s working plate), according to the manufacturer, is made of very strong and musical material of a new generation IMPP. There is no case, but it can be easily mounted anywhere (stock depth 120 mm, diameter 230 mm): trunk, door, seat, wing.
Hertz ES 300
- softest, deep bass;
- excellent design: the device looks futuristic, but not elaborate;
- the range of reproducible frequencies, the same infrasound is present;
- sound materials, special attention is paid to their ability to damp spurious vibrations.
- contacts on the blades;
- there is no housing, which involves additional costs for creating the desired design.
Elettromedia Italians delight in design.Outwardly very expressive car sub. Rubberized diffuser holder. In general, everything that can rattle, noise reduction structure is “doused” with damper material. The magnet itself - 141 mm in diameter - is also solid.
Like all compact subwoofers for cars without a "house", this one urgently needs it. The best volume for it is about 20-30 liters, preferably with a spacious bass reflex. By the way, you can assemble a construct for the speaker in any form factor: flat, square, trapezoidal. That will allow the most optimal placement of the device itself. Good sensitivity. Nonlinear distortion is minimal. Very wide frequency range (25–250 Hz). Now there is a modification of the Hertz ES 300.5.
Supra SRD-1602A
- miniature, thin;
- the presence of a bass reflex for a more complete perception of low frequencies;
- in the case - a turnkey solution that does not require the creation of a sound box or insert into the car body.
- medium-power (I would like better sound quality in the lower range, the small size of the device affected here).
Small compact subwoofer. A sound machine with a bass reflex, which is a joy not only for fans of pop and rock music, but also for lovers of drum & bass and rap. Both speakers are large, 16 centimeters in diameter. A rated power of 100 watts will fill any salon. The bottoms will add significantly, but do not wait for the rattling of glasses. A big plus is the mosfet amplifier, which does not overheat, which is not afraid of breakdown and gives excellent sound quality (low and high frequencies are especially good). All this is packed in a thin elongated body.
Thanks to its unusual appearance and excellent sound characteristics, the Hertz ES 300 is recommended to all connoisseurs of automotive aesthetics.
Supra SRD-1602A is very utilitarian. Especially easy to install, compact, flat, but therefore not too torquey. A small subwoofer in a car for lovers of accurate quality sound, without laying eardrums.
Alpine PWE-V80 is similar in performance and performance to the PIONEER TS-Wx130DA. These compact subwoofers for cars have good sound pressure indicators, they are distinguished by very high-quality assembly and have similar dimensions. Suitable for any motorist.
The most intense sound pressure comes from the PIONEER TS-W106M. This thing will make your car feel what a drive is. Excellent price-quality ratio, the design is assembled as if for space travel. It also looks solid and interesting. For those who like to do everything to the maximum.
Models without housing PIONEER TS-W106M and Hertz ES 300 will bring a little trouble to install. But they will allow you to literally make a sub part of the car or create your own unique design for it.
