From my experience, one topic which is invariably discussed is "what are the Best Car Subwoofers" in the marketplace. Honestly speaking, it is obvious the answer is purely subjective and determined by one's relationship with a particular car speaker make. A subwoofer is a larger speaker designed just to reproduce those deep bass frequencies which add so much to the richness and enjoyment of virtually any kind of music.
Our survey indicates that the Kicker 12 subwoofer and the MTX subwoofer are two of the most well liked car subwoofers available. These subwoofers are favorites among serious car audio enthusiasts and even those new to the hobby of car audio.

Three more subs that remain on the favorites list are the JL audio subwoofer, the Rockford Fosgate subwoofer and the Polk Subwoofer. All the brands mentioned have long track records in sound competitions as well as producing good music sound quality overall.
To be judged among the "Best Car Subwoofers", the subs taken into consideration must be capable of creating good sound quality when played at all power levels. Many times certain brands of car audio subwoofers will tend to lose respectable sound quality when played at higher levels.
Choosing the Best Car Audio Subwoofers For Best Sound Quality
Executive Summary about Car Audio Subwoofers by Robert A Hull
Most car audio systems available today feature small speakers, which limit their ability to reproduce sounds of low frequency. Thus, equipping your auto sound system with subwoofers provide more depth to the sound produced in your car system such that you can reproduce frequencies under 150 hertz.
Typically, subwoofers are installed on the car trunk given the limitation in space on your car's cabin. The average size for car subwoofers are between 10 to 12 inches, although bigger ones could measure up to 34 inches.
Opting for wider subwoofers provide more efficiency in terms of air displacement; thus, it is ideal for low frequencies. You can also opt to integrate the subwoofer for your car audio system into the cabinet or have it separately installed. Make sure that the amplifier has electronic crossover so you can easily filter high frequency sounds until the signal is transmitted onto the subwoofer.
Majority of car audio subwoofers are rounded, but several manufactures have innovated new shapes for a more stylish and aesthetic approach. But aside from style, these designs or shapes are intended more for space efficiency. But opting for non-round shapes can have its drawbacks though when it comes to the acoustical feature.
The sealed enclosure is the most practical one to use for your car audio system since it requires minimal space and easily match any type of car interior. You can also get several premade enclosures in the market though. Another option would be to build one on your own or have it custom-made.
