Some subwoofers are just too heavy, costing a lot of money and taking up a lot of space. Others are too fragile, ready to break for no apparent reason when you try to move them by yourself. Some require special connectors that can break if not handled with care, causing you to spend even more money and time replacing them. But this won't happen with the Definitive Technology Subwoofer Line. These devices have been designed to be light enough for one person to handle/move them on their own without the risk of breaking at the uni-polar connector or any other weak point.
Furthermore, the newly designed subwoofer's cabinet is made of injection-molded Baltic Birch plywood and not MDF; and they're all equipped with a durable yet flexible molding compound and a sturdy custom-fit heavy-duty rubber surround. Some consumers also experience vibration problems within their vehicles due to a lack of bass. These are caused by weak or poorly designed amplifiers or subwoofers that don't provide the right amount of support. This problem can be solved with several ways you can add or improve your vehicle's audio system.
What amps or other components do a Definitive Technology subwoofer need to work?
This will depend on the sound quality you want and how much bass you want. If you want a subwoofer to give your vehicle's audio system an extra kick in the pants, we recommend that you use the most powerful amp available while setting your crossover at around 80Hz. If you're in it for a leaner bass system, where the low frequencies do not overpower your lows, then we recommend using one of our new Class D amplifiers.
I know that I need an active subwoofer. But I'm having trouble choosing the right one. What do you recommend?
If you're planning to power your subwoofers with a factory-installed amplifier, then we recommend going for the 10" or 12" models. These will give your sound system that extra kick and get you the best bang for your buck! If you're going to run them off of a separate amplifier, then go with a 10" if you're looking for similar performance levels and a 12" if you want more bass.
How do I know if my amplifier is compatible with my subwoofers?
All of our subwoofers can work with most amplifiers. However, some amplifiers only feature a few RCA outputs and will require you to add an external crossover network before you can use your subwoofer(s). If you're looking for an optimized performance that maximizes your listening experience, we recommend adding a signal processor to your system. These devices help eliminate any noise or interference from the signal and provide a consistent bass response at all volume levels.
How important are the amplifier's power ratings?
It's very important. An amplifier that is too weak will fail to power your subwoofer and provide you with the bass you're searching for, while an amp that is too powerful can damage your subwoofer. The recommended power range for any subwoofer is between 150 watts RMS and 1000 watts RMS. If you're looking for more bass, then a 1200-watt model should be sufficient. However, if you want a leaner bass system, where the low frequencies do not overpower your other speakers or highs, then we recommend using one of our new Class D amplifiers.
How do I know if my subwoofers are compatible with each other?
All of our subwoofers are designed to work with each other in a network configuration, working on the same frequency bandwidth. However, some amplifiers might require you to use separate crossover networks to properly manage the two subs. This usually happens when working in an active- or powered-subwoofer system, or when running subwoofers in parallel (using multiple amplifiers at once). In any case, we always recommend using separate amp units.
Conclusion
Whether you're looking for something to use in your car or home theater, Definitive subwoofers have what you need. Their latest models provide you with nothing but the best bang for your buck. Definitive Technology subwoofers are not only powerful but easy to set up as well. Just plug in your amplifier and speakers, wire the subs, and voila – you're ready to play!
