HOW DEEP IS YOUR BASS

06 July 2022 Marvin-Pascual

 

So, you have been itching to get that subwoofer for your car and cruise downtown with that bass sound. As you know, subwoofers are speakers dedicated in producing low frequency sounds. They come in a variety of sizes to as small as 6 all the way up to 8, 10, 12 and even 13 inches. The question is, which one do you choose?
 
First thing to consider is the kind of subwoofer to get. You have basically 2 kinds, the component and enclosure. Component subwoofers are very versatile because you can customize it the way you want. From the size of the box it goes into, to the size, power and even the number of subwoofer you want to install. This setup is commonly utilized by intermediate to expert installers. Here are some of our popular component subwoofers available in our website.
 
JL Audio 12W3v3-4 – These are the most popular 12” subwoofers in the market today. Produced by JL Audio, which is the leading car audio manufacturer in the world. It provides 500 watts of RMS power and is the go-to upgrade for any enthusiast. Its proprietary Vented Reinforced Collar improves rigidity and stability of the cone/spider/voice coil junction and directs airflow over the voice coil windings for improved thermal performance.
 
Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1000F – Kenwood has its own popular 10” subwoofer competitor. It provides 250 watts of RMS, perfect for starter upgrade and not to mention the competitive price. The Excelon line is the high-end spectrum of subwoofer for the Kenwood brand which gives accurate music reproductions and clear bass sounds.
 
Massive Audio HIPPOXL 152 – If you are into competition style subs, the nothing beats the 15” HippoXL. Its massive magnet can handle up to 4000 watts of peak power. The dual 2-ohm voice coils, heavy-duty cast aluminum basket and high-energy double stack strontium magnets ensure great audio quality. This ensures high quality sound and better performance.
 
On the other hand, if you prefer a plug and play setup without any complications, an enclosed subwoofer is the way to go. You can purchase these already premade and all you have to do is partner it with a compatible amp and you are ready to roll. Downside of this setup is you really need to work on the size if it will fit your vehicle. There is different size options that fit the trunk of your car or even under the seat. Here are some of the popular items at Onlinecarstereo.com.
 
JL Audio CLS112RG-W7AE – Nothing beats JL Audio’s 1000 watts RMS sealed ProWedge enclosures. The sleek carpet design gives it the classic look that blends well with your vehicle. It is equipped with a 12W7AE that brings serious performance to the table by combining the breakthrough of the long-excursion W7 design with a large 12-inch bore.
 
Kicker 44DCWC122 – If you want instant upgrade without breaking the bank, take a look at the 44DCWC122. It will give you 600 watts RMS and with the vented design, will give you a more rounded Kicker bass sound.
 
Kicker 46TL7T122 - If you are into a more minimalistic design, the 46TL7T122 will save the space you need for you trunk. But do not be fooled by the size. The L7 Kicker sub will give you 600 watts of RMS. With it slim design, you can practically place it anywhere your vehicle without being bothersome.

WHAT ARE BASS RESTORATION PROCESSORS?

25 November 2020 Jeanne

The bass is a really important part of a sound system. The ability to hear the music’s low frequencies will greatly improve your music experience inside your car. Of course, we have the subwoofers that will definitely allow us to hear more of the low frequencies, but sometimes, subwoofers can be costly and can be difficult to install due to the size constraints. 

 

A bass restoration processor (or BRP) is generally, in simple terms, a bass booster. BRPs digitally restore the bass that might still be lacking if you lack the bass powers of a subwoofer on your vehicle. They have a built-in equalizer to adjust the frequency and the ideal amount of bass the car owner wants for their music. Typically, BRPs have three types of adjustments: frequency, width and level.

 

The “frequency” adjustment allows the owner to the specific frequencies they want to be brought out in the music. The “width” adjustment allows the owner to adjust the amount of frequencies that will be affected. You can adjust the BRP to affect a narrow or wide bandwidth of frequencies along a selected frequency. And finally, the “level” adjustment allows the owner to adjust the level of effect, hence giving you a sound made specifically for you, just the way you like it.

BRPs aren’t just used to improve the bass sounds and give you that heart-pounding bass. It improves the low-frequency sound on all kinds of music.  It can modify the way a specific music will sound. It digitally restores the desired frequency and powers up the low-end sound, injecting it again in the audio signal to give it an improved bass impact.


One of the most famous bass restoration processors in the market today is the EPICENTER series from AudioControl but other brands, like Soundstream, have put out their own BRPs as well.
