Can I install a subwoofer without an amp?

Subwoofers are designed to increase the bass frequencies, resulting in a deep, thumping sound. In most cases, they are paired with an amplifier to boost the sound. If you do not have the funds for both components, you can still hook up a subwoofer without an amplifier; it simply involves a little more know-how.

What equalizer setting is best?

60 Hz to 200 Hz: Low frequencies requiring a bass or lower drums to be reproduced. 200 Hz to 600 Hz: Low mid-range frequencies. If you play the lower end of many musical instruments such as guitars or a piano youll hear this range of frequencies. 600 Hz – 3,000 Hz: Mid-range frequencies.
