Woofer VS Subwoofer

Some people messaging me have been wondering whether the woofer I have would be able to replace my subwoofer, the one I use for my home theatre etc, so I tested it out.
The specs of the woofer would suggest it isn't made for this, but obviously I'm going to "be dumb" about it and test it like I have no idea what specs mean.
Also it might help to have the correct size box for the speakers in question and not do a 'one for all' type thing like this.

`the folded surround on your woofer usually means it is more of a mid bass for larger rooms. The fold does not allow for as much excursion of the driver but maintains better control.

[@DethronedVoid]

my unclu has folded surroundings in his double 18 inch woofer and they can reach 24hz with no problems and no ratteling so you can use folded surroundings plus they are quality woofers not woofer to use for pure bass

I have 12 inch loudspeakers/ woofers they have the folded surround and they still give 1/3-1/5 or a third of an inch or half inch excursion

doing my usual sunday zig-zag thru a neighborhood looking for flatscreens and stuff, i found an Infinity PS_10 on the curb,, i asked the guy in the yard if it worked.. he said "not really". so i pulled it apart and changed a 16v 330 uf cap, with and upgrade to a 25 volt and it sounds great... now if i can get the floorboards and walls to stop the rat-eling noises i'll be in business. and i snagged a yamaha a/v reciever{rca plugs} i need to test out. but the best part was the sharp remote control i've been needing for the 70 inch flatscreen a friend delivered to my place{free} that basically just needs internal adjustments in the menu, which works better having a remote. i tried it a few times without the remote, but everytime the power was interupted, i had to reset the adjustments.

[@ayxayo3166]

Did you know that one night I was home alone and got a new subwoofer I didn’t know it will shake the whole neighbourhood but I just turned it out at mid night and blasted get low from DJ Snake with full volume, the next day my neighbours were looking at me funny, and I remembered what is did.

[@CoolDudeClem]

Back in the old days you didn't need a sub, most stereo hi-fi speaker systems could cover the entire frequency range without needing help from a sub. Modern woofers are crap and don't produce much bass at all so they need help from a sub, but old-school Woofers (70's & 80's, even some of the 60's ones) easily could go all the way down to the frequencies that modern subwoofers produce.

Maybe do a car vs pa Subwoofer comparison with one of these in the future: 18S 18NTLW5000 B&C 18IPAL BMS 18N862

[@niglettelgingod6758]

Depending on the pa speaker would be louder than the car sub but the higher notes would be more clear on the car sub due to more major overlapping. The pa would definitely handle low notes better

[@bobbygeiser8478]

The car subwoofer is designed for smaller enclosure sizes, with the output compensated with more power. The PA subwoofer is designed for larger more efficient enclosures, to get the most sensitivity per watt as possible. Any comparison regarding sound quality or frequency range will vary on a sub by sub, and/or enclosure by enclosure basis.

[@williamkillingsworth2619]

The big difference is efficiency. Pro audio 18’s like Peavy lowriders have 97.3b sensitivity. 4 inch voice coils with tighter gaps, a cone that weights 198grams and handles 800con/1600pro/3,200peak Cost $225 A sundown zv5 has a 88db sensitivity. 3 inch coil 450gram cone and handles 2000watts rms. Cost $1000 It will take the sundown about 3 times as much power to produce the same SPL. Because it has a heavy cone and a less efficient gap. The Pro audio sub will sound better, and be louder dB/watt vs dollar spent.

[@Assistingalways]

Levi machaa outdoors, most subs will not be audible. But woofers will. Some frequencies need some resonating sorroundings. They work like echoes. But in free air, they'll just move up n down.

[@Baraha10]

@@Assistingalways I have a party speaker Sony MHC V 82d and it has 12" woofer. It shakes the room and outdoors it produces huge bass. I have a home-theatre with a 8" Sub which shakes the room alright but doesn't have any effect outdoors. Indoor the party speaker wins in bass also. So in my case the woofer wins over the sub in producing bass.

[@Assistingalways]

Rajib Lochan Panda yes. But it's between subwoofer and a woofer. Some frequencies are only audible based on the enclosure tune, and the excursion of the diaghragm. So generally subs will go very low depending on your room to. But woofers are for spl. Minimum excursion with massive enclosures that beat box rise. If you want good quality music subs will do. But if you want to listen with your neighborhood to, woofers will.

[@davidperry4013]

If you crossbreed a woofer and a subwoofer, you get a superwoofer so you can have nice mains speakers that subwoof in addition to woof, squawk, and tweet. It will have a very similar design to a competition car subwoofer but, with a cone stiff enough to cross it over to the mids at 375Hz or higher without distortion and a shorting ring for accurate upper bass so you can have single woofer floorstanding speakers that have a lot of excursion, deep thunderous bass, and no distortion in the upper bass frequencies.

There both LF drivers but the 'woofer' Is more for PA use as it has better efficiency because of its lighter overall cone design, with the high impedence lighter voice coil. The PA driver will have better sensitivity and the Car sub will have a much higher power handeling but also much less efficient. The Car sub will also have a much lower FS and will play lower notes (below 40hz) alot louder.

[@katzincafton]

No standard woofer is made for SPL whereas Subs are built this way. No comparison is really needed if you know the specifics or ratings of the speakers. 8▪Ohm Woofers generally start at roughly about 80hz and finish up to maybe 5khz (low range/bass and voice). Now, 4▪Ohm subwoofers can start as low as 10hz, yet they might reach up to a maximum of 100-150hz (subsonic bass) Midrange speakers can range from roughly 3-4khz up to anywhere about 10-12khz (Vocal range) Tweeters can start somewhere about the 10khz range and go all the up to 22khz (High end quality) So when using a Woofer, Midrange and Tweeter, using a crossover network, all of the spectrum should be covered....the Subwoofer will fill in down the bottom end of the spectrum giving you the punchy feeling in the music

[@twinkyunouwantmycreamfilli8297]

Wes Spannagle , a drivers impedance doesn't indicate its range of frequencies. Higher impedances tend to help the driver control the cone better, but at the cost of the amps ability of potential power output. Not really a big deal with lower wattage drivers. About 80hz and up in a home setup up 8ohm drivers are common. In car audio you will find 4ohm drivers of the same range to be typical. Subwoofers are the ones that need substantially more power. That's why the lower impedances are common.
