 * Q: How do Subwoofers Work? **


 * A: **The whole point of a subwoofer or sub is to generate very low frequencies. These low frequencies produce an extremely low tone. This tone is called bass in music. The frequency is generated by a cone in the speaker that moves back and forth. The farther the cone is allowed to move the more air it displaces, which makes the sound it produces louder. This is all created by electrical signals flowing from the amplifier that makes a magnet inside the speaker vibrate. The magnet is connected to the cone thus making the cone vibrate. The larger the cone is, the louder the sound will be.
