In order to fully enjoy modern music in the car, you need a good speaker system, and a subwoofer plays a fairly large role in it. Of course, many cars initially installed high-quality acoustics, but they cost quite a lot. Therefore, many are interested in how to assemble a subwoofer with their own hands in the car, because now it is the best option that will allow you to get good quality at an affordable price. In this article we will tell about it.

The reason why a subwoofer is needed in a car is quite simple - it is designed for the highest quality reproduction of low frequencies, which is extremely important for a number of musical styles. In this case, we must not forget about the need to complement the sound of the subwoofer with a high-quality speaker system that reproduces medium and high frequencies.

Choosing a speaker for a subwoofer in the car

In order to make a subwoofer in the car with your own hands, you must first select the right speaker. This is quite important, because it is this choice that will affect the size of the box and the range of reproducible frequencies. Currently, the standard options are the following dynamics:

• 6 inches - used as a source of mid bass, (in combination with larger subwoofers);
• 8 inches - used to play frontal bass;
• 10 inches - a great option for speakers, the internal volume of which will be from 15 to 20 liters;
• 12 inches - give very high-quality sound, but they need a box from 25 to 35 liters;
• 15 inches - give a very powerful bass, but require a fairly large body volume from 60 to 90 liters.

Protection with a metal grill is a relatively inexpensive option that helps prevent mechanical damage, but does not save from dirt and moisture.

A rather important point is that at low frequencies the direction of the sound is almost not felt. So, the location of the subwoofer in the car does not matter.

Stealth subwoofer for cars with their own hands

The main advantage of the stealth subwoofer in the car is its stealth, if possible get the highest quality sound. As a rule, it is placed in the trunk behind the rear wing arch, where it does not take up much space. Since for a good auto-subwoofer a box of decent volume is required, which can exceed 18 liters, it may be necessary to take out its panel, thus occupying the volume intended for the rear wheel. You may also need to trim the floor.

Of course, in order for such a subwoofer not to be very noticeable, it will be necessary to take care of its finishing, which in its appearance will coincide with the design of the car.

LED subwoofer lights in the car

Of course, high-quality sound will be perfectly combined with spectacular lighting effects. The simplest option would be to use an LED strip that can be glued around the speaker. Also, a rather interesting solution would be to use a neon equalizer, which responds to the peak amplitudes of the subwoofer and causes the glowing liquid to rise along the bars.
