Speakers are increasing in power.

Music fans enjoy listening to their songs with quality volume. A super woofer is a newer type of speaker that emits loud bass with high volume, for either home or automobile installation.

  1. History

    • Speaker size and power output has increased along with the advancement of the amplifiers that power them. Currently, amplifiers can generate power outputs of 1000 to 2000 watts. The speaker that is being powered by that amplifier must be able to withstand the power input.

    Significance

    • In response, super woofers were manufactured to correspond with the powerful amplifiers. In fact, some consumers were actually damaging their lower powered input speakers with the high powered amplifiers.

    Features

    • Super woofers can range in price from $700, to a little under $1600, and the diameter of the speaker can differ from 13 inches to 18 inches. Since it is generating a powerful, low bass, the construction is sturdy with speaker cones reinforced with carbon fiber.
