Adding a subwoofer is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make to your vehicle's audio system. A properly installed subwoofer handles the lower frequencies that factory speakers often struggle to reproduce, giving your music deeper and more impactful bass.
But a good system requires more than simply putting a subwoofer in the trunk.

Factory audio systems aren't always designed to deliver strong low-frequency sound. A dedicated subwoofer allows your system to reproduce bass separately rather than relying entirely on your vehicle's smaller speakers.
A subwoofer upgrade can provide:
Deeper and stronger bass
Better reproduction of low frequencies
A fuller overall sound
Less reliance on smaller speakers for bass
More enjoyable music at different volume levels
A customized audio experience for your vehicle
The exact components depend on the audio system you're building.
A typical aftermarket subwoofer setup may include a subwoofer, enclosure, amplifier, wiring and the appropriate connections to your vehicle's existing audio system.
Some powered subwoofers combine the subwoofer and amplifier into one unit, while other setups use separate components.

In many vehicles, a subwoofer can be added while retaining the factory stereo. The installation method depends on the vehicle and factory audio system, so we'll need your vehicle information to determine the appropriate setup.
Subwoofers are commonly installed in trunks or cargo areas, although compact and under-seat options are available for certain vehicles. The best location depends on your vehicle, subwoofer enclosure and how much interior space you're willing to use.
