Sealed Enclosures

Speakers are not the only consideration when looking for superior bass to add to your sound system. The type of box that houses the subwoofer is also a major consideration and there are several different types of enclosures that can be used depending upon the kind of bass you want your subwoofer to produce.

One popular type of box for subwoofers is sealed subwoofer enclosures. Basically, a sealed subwoofer enclosure is a sealed box that is completely and totally airtight that provides a home for the woofer. Sealed subwoofer enclosures provide tight and accurate bass, which is sometimes exactly what is needed for the type of music that demands this type of bass. The listener is obviously the one that needs to make the ultimate decision about what the music will sound best with when it comes to bass, but there are guidelines available to help amateurs determine what will sound best with different types of music. A loud booming bass will not be produced from sealed subwoofer enclosures, so if you are not expecting a flat response or deep bass extension, look into other types of boxes for your speakers.

A significant difference in sealed subwoofer enclosures is found in the amount of power required to correctly run your speakers. Ample power is a must for sealed subwoofer enclosures and the best method is to use an amplifier for the additional power. The amplifier must have ample wattage in order to provide enough power to obtain maximum, optimal performance from the sealed subwoofer enclosure. A proper amplifier can be purchased at any stereo equipment store or online for that matter. The amount of wattage is what is most important so be sure to determine what that number is before going out and shopping for a new amplifier. There are plenty of experts available to assist you with figuring out just how much power is actually required to operate your sealed subwoofer enclosure at optimal levels. These experts work primarily in the higher end stereo shops and are usually very willing to share their knowledge of stereo equipment and all of the components required to operate your stereo with the best sound quality available.

Once you have made the decision that sealed subwoofer enclosures are the way to go for the type of bass you want you then have additional options as far as actually getting a box. Many people are skilled enough and able to build sealed subwoofer enclosures themselves, which is certainly one way to go for the serious stereo enthusiast. However, the majority of people tend to purchase already built sealed subwoofer enclosures from a store or vendor online. The tight accurate bass that this type of box offers is only guaranteed if the box the speaker is put into is constructed correctly without any air able to get in. This can be a challenging feat for people who have not built sealed subwoofer enclosures before, which is why most stereo enthusiasts purchase them from someone else. That way the component is guaranteed to function properly and provide the type of bass that you are looking for.
