Does the JVC KD-NX5000 play MP3 DVD's?
You cannot just turn any speaker into a sub-woofer. Sub-woofers have different voice coils than regular speakers. They are designed to produce much lower frequencies than regular speakers.CD's play fine in my car player until the last few songs.Then I get noise and skipping.What's up?
All subwoofers are speakers but not all speakers are subwoofers. There are many types of speakers. Speakers work by resonating membrane to generate sound. In layman's terms, they move air to create sound. Speakers are usually classified under the range of sound frequency it is able to generate. FullRange, Subwoofers, Mid-Range and Tweeters.
The average human ear is able to detect sound frequency from a low 20Hz to a high 20Khz. A subwoofer is a special speaker that is designed to generate medium to low bass notes. Typically, subwoofers have larger magnets and a large membrane to push a lot of air.
So if you want to turn an ordinary speaker into a subwoofer, you need to compensate for the lack of a larger magnet to move the membrane. This can be done by increasing the power. Usually boosting the amount of wattage by installing a more powerful amplifier. Of course, this will greatly reduce the life of the speaker and may even destroy it.
Speakers are generally built to operate in certain frequency ranges. The range of human hearing is from a low of 15 Hertz to a high of 20,000 Hertz. Subwoofers are usually used to reproduce freq's from between 80-120 Hz on down. In a 3 way system (Woofer, Mid, Tweeter) Woofers would be used for 80 - 120 up to maybe 400Hz. Midrange is 400 to maybe 3,300, Tweeters for 3,300 Hz on up.
If you tried to put the low frequencies through a tweeter, it would sound bad because it cannot move enough air to reproduce the low sounds. That's why you "feel" bass, it moves alot of air. High's move very little air, but they move it very quickly.
A speaker that wasn't designed for the low frequencies a subwoofer is designed for would attempt to move alot of air. The voicecoil (the center of the speaker cone is a coil of wire with a magnet surrounding it) would try to move further than it could to move the air, and you would "blow" the speaker.
How do I make a ground connection for my Phillips car stereo? There is no ground wire...?
A woofer is any speaker above 8". A subwoofer is a speaker above 8" that can reproduce very low notes (below 50 Hz).More Questions & Answers ...
