Audison Subwoofer

A good subwoofer needs between 250 and 500 watts RMS for balanced low-end bass in the car. The Audison APS Series already delivers excellent sound quality from 250 watts, while the AV models offer up to 1000 watts RMS for maximum output for demanding bass enthusiasts.

The best bass box depends on your individual requirements – available space, desired bass intensity, and budget all play a role. For compact installation situations, the Audison APBX models are recommended, while the Voce II Series meets the highest audiophile demands.

Test your subwoofer by playing a test tone between 40-80 Hz at moderate volume. Alternatively, you can measure the impedance with a multimeter – for a 4-ohm subwoofer, you should read roughly 3.2-3.6 ohms.

The optimal enclosure volume depends on the specific model:
• APBX 8 R: 15-20 liters
• APS 10 S4S: 20-25 liters
• AV 12 D4 II: 30-40 liters
Sealed enclosures require less volume than bass reflex (ported) designs.

DSP amplifiers optimize subwoofer performance through precise crossovers, phase correction, and time alignment. With Audison models featuring integrated DSP, this gives you clean bass even at higher volumes and perfect integration into the overall system.

Mounting depth varies by model: compact APS subwoofers need at least 8cm of depth, while more powerful AV models require up to 15cm of mounting depth. The APBX Series, at 10-12cm, offers a good compromise between power and space requirements.

Yes, you can combine different Audison subwoofers, but you should make sure they have the same impedance (4 ohms) and similar power classes. Combining the APBX 10 DS with the APBX 10 S4S, for example, allows for flexible bass distribution with optimal synergy with your amplifier. Round out your setup with matching Audison speakers for a harmonious overall system.

For classical music and jazz, 250-400W RMS is more than enough. Electronic, hip-hop, or metal benefit from 500-1000W RMS for punchy, powerful bass. The Audison Prima Series, with 250-500W, offers the perfect starting point, while the Voce II models, with more power, handle even the most demanding bass passages with ease.
