Subwoofers are a special type of speaker that can reproduce the lowest audible frequencies. The ideal subwoofer for your system depends on the characteristics of your room and your preferences. Here's how to choose a subwoofer that best suits your surround sound setup.

Subwoofers are crucial to the home theater experience. When you go to the movies, you feel the sound all around you. Subwoofers are responsible for the deep bass that shakes you and hits you right in the gut.
To get this experience at home, you can use a home theater receiver that has outputs called Sub Out, Sub Pre-Out, or LFE (low-frequency effects).
The best subwoofers for your home can cost hundreds of dollars. However, there are budget subwoofers for less than $100. If you have a large home theater system, you may want a high-end system. For small rooms, choose a self-contained subwoofer that doesn’t require a separate amplifier.
