What to look for in compact subwoofers

1. Power Rating

Check the RMS (Root Mean Square) power rating of the subwoofer. This indicates the amount of continuous power it can handle. A higher RMS means more powerful bass.

2. Frequency Range

The frequency range indicates the spectrum of sound that the subwoofer can produce. A wider range means it can deliver both high and low notes clearly.

3. Size and Design

Size matters when choosing a compact subwoofer. Ensure that it will fit in your desired space. Additionally, consider the design and aesthetics to match your decor or other audio equipment.

4. Connectivity Options

Consider whether you want a wired or wireless subwoofer. Wireless models offer flexibility in placement but may not deliver as powerful a sound as their wired counterparts.
