Woofer VS Subwoofer
Ойын-сауық
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.

Always noticed that when airflow is constricted, Sub-woofers move more and woofers move less.
My woofer: aww I'm all lonely My subwoofer: OHHH YEAHH GIVE ME THE POWER IF U WANT ME TO HIT THE BASS!!!!!!!
wow,that woofer moves more than i expected
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.

PA Subwoofer vs Car Audio Subwoofer probably would have been a better comparison.
my mini sub was moving along whit yours🤣

that is a nice test since we can see than even if a speaker has the surface area, the time it takes going up and down can change the tone a lot! (i have Guitar speakers for subs, 15 inch at that!)

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.

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.

So in my case the woofer wins over the sub in producing bass.

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.

In brazil woofers made for 60-120hz can trigger car alarm more easily than subs, Not to mention that you feel the bass from afar, since the subwoofers you go 10 meters away and you only hear the voice.

Go to any goodwill or thrift. They constantly have Yamaha, Onkyo, Integra, etc) home theater receivers for like $50 bucks on average. Ive found many receivers that pump plenty of watts for home audio on the cheap and its plenty for most people. Home theater subs are self powered but if you want to hook up something like he's got you need an external amp for it.

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.
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.

Yeare ago I took a cheap 10" Dayton audio classic series woofer placed it in a .94 cubic foot box with heavy poly fill & crossed it over at 50hz with a 48db low pass crossover I built. Let me say this... I was able to pump 300rms per 10 where as it was rated at 50rms. I was able to litterly make my doors, windshield & back of the cab flex with two of them... A woofer can be made to hit hard without damage. Someone will say thats impossible blah blah blah but ya never know till you try using the knowledge you have and try to learn as well... Of course it waa no sub but damn kick drums & yes rap music just slammed in there. Megadeths cryptic writings bass lines sounded just nuts...

Good pa subwoofers go above 150 hertz without trouble giving much nicer more open surround sound, these car type subwoofer barely hit above 100/150 hertz In a car it can add a wide soundstage to. cost more energy tho cus most of them probly be above 4ohms.

My standard woofers are sort of usable as a sub cos they are so fat (unlike your PA "med" driver). But I'm using the $50 Jaycar woofers as stereo speaker standard woofers and even at fairly low volume my 10" woofers were excurting like 1/8" with that low bass note and I could feel it move with my hand on the cone, with that low note (not too many hz). Now how do you get a camera mic that good? Wow!
lol i saw this video on my laptop, without only my laptop's speaker...
COOL VID☺
Try the brazilians woofers there are ones with 4250 rms or almost 5k
For a sec I thought this was a clip from "Peep Show"
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.
