The problem comes when you try to connect a subwoofer to a signal without a crossover – it sounds terrible! In order to produce clean-sounding bass without vocals or other sounds a subwoofer can’t properly produce, a low-pass crossover is used to allow only bass frequencies to pass & be produced. The subwoofer works by resting inside of an enclosure designed for it and to produce deep bass when playing music limited to low-end bass sounds. Passive (non-powered) subwoofers are simply a subwoofer speaker inside the bass enclosure which is directly wired to the speaker terminals or a passive bass crossover inside.These types are one of the most common and in many cases use an RCA type input jack to connect to the receiver for sound. Powered subwoofers use a low-signal signal which is boosted greatly using the built-in speaker amplifier, power supply, and crossover.Home stereo subwoofers are available in two different types: powered (“active”) and non-powered (“passive”).
