    Why the high watt spec in subwoofer amplifiers?

    I have wondered about the "wattage race" myself. We are using a 175 watt class D amplifier on our Su13.01 Subwoofer by design.

    size of subwoofer drivers vs. size of main speaker drivers

    multiple subwoofers In response to RonR's question about design considerations by manufacturers, at my company (I own Aluminous Audio) we adhere to the multiple subwoofer system concept. Many reasons for that with one extremely good one...smooth, musical sounding bass throughout the room. When...
