If you are an audio enthusiast, one of the most critical components of a comprehensive sound system is a reliable and dynamic subwoofer system that is able to offer a crisp and elegant bass-boosted sound quality. The following article takes a look at the best subwoofer systems in the market for the year 2021.
The primary factors that we will consider in the review will include the power capabilities of the subwoofer alongside the end-result and how it is able to complement the full sound result of the system. Additional factors that will be considered include the wattage, form factor, driver size, and control layout of the subwoofers.
JL Audio Marine Subwoofer
Q Acoustics Q B12
It is difficult for stereo enthusiasts not to be amazed at the bass playing capabilities of the Q B12 from
Q Acoustics. The subwoofer offers a refined sound that feels elegant and refined, delivering a substantial amount of power to the sound system. The rear-mounted controls provided by the subwoofer make it user-friendly, and the magnetic metal plate allows you to discreetly manage the connected cable whilst still providing easy access to the volume and crossover dials.
The clean and crisp bass coupled with smart controls makes the Q Acoustics Q B12 an enticing option. That being said, the wattage and power moderation on the subwoofer means that it lacks the ability to offer the overpowered bass that comes with other competitors in the market.
SVS SB-3000
As far as high-end woofers are concerned, nothing comes close to the dynamic and elegant bass capabilities offered by the SB-300 from
SVS. It is the latest high-end model from the legendary manufacturer, and we believe that it is the best option for those looking to invest in a high-end subwoofer system. The SB-3000 eliminates many of the faults that came with the older SVS models whilst simultaneously offering a more compatible solution in the form of a compact and accessible frame.
One of the best features offered by the SB-3000 is the excellent DSP (Digital Signal Processing), which offers infinite customization that allows you to get an accurate and controlled yet compelling bass.
BIC America F12
If not for some areas where the
BIC America F12 is lacking, we would have placed it a lot higher up the list. That being said, this is still one of the best compact subwoofer systems available in the market at the current time. The subwoofer loses out due to a lower RMS wattage, but it is still one of our top picks. The BIC America F12 responds well to any environment that it has to deal with, something that is able to give the subwoofer a competitive edge over other options in 2021.
However, the bass is unable to offer the same level of natural quality as other, more upscale models, but you nevertheless receive an in-depth, extended, and robust bass effect. Although BIC America has an exceptionally dull corporate aesthetic, they can still offer us some great options in the market of subwoofers.
Power Sound Audio S3612
With a frequency extension that varies all the way down to 16 Hz, the
Power Sound Audio S3612 should be the leading option for anyone searching for the ideal deep and dark bass solution. And While we favour the other options for their detail, this is a good subwoofer for those that want natural and unrestrained power. You get 1,920 watts of RMS power, which makes the S3612 the singular most dominant subwoofer on this entire list in terms of the voltage that it offers.
While the Power Sound Audio S3612 does offer an extensive assortment of physical controls, you should look at different models from companies such as JL Audio Marine if you want extraordinary levels of digital control and adjustments. Additionally, for all the power it offers, the S3612 doesn't really have other models' ability and tact, like the ones mentioned above—particularly the
JL Audio Marine Subwoofer. The Power Sound Audio S3612 is intended for those who require the absolute most moderate bass.
Concluding Remarks
We believe that the best option for enthusiasts looking for dynamic bass-boosted sound quality is the
Audio M7 Marine subwoofer, which is the best Marine Subwoofer for those looking for a significantly elegant sonic experience. The subwoofer offers a dynamic form factor coupled with modular controls and high power, which enable it to offer not only the best raw bass power in the industry but also the most elegant and refined sound, making it the best option for those looking to invest in a subwoofer system for the year to come.
