Umehluko phakathi kwe-woofer ne-subwoofer ikakhulukazi ezicini ezimbili: Okokuqala, bathwebula ibhendi yefrikhwensi yomsindo futhi badale imiphumela ehlukile. Okwesibili umehluko kububanzi kanye nokusebenza kwawo ekusebenzeni okungokoqobo.
Ake siqale sibheke umehluko phakathi kwakho kokubili ukuze sithwebule amabhendi omsindo futhi sidale imiphumela. I-subwoofer idlala indima engenakushintshwa ekudaleni umoya nokubuyisela umsindo oshaqisayo. Ngokwesibonelo, lapho silalele umculo, singabona ngokushesha ukuthi isipikha sinomphumela webhesi osindayo.

Eqinisweni, umphumela we-bass esindayo awukona lokho esikuzwa ngezindlebe zethu. Umsindo odlalwa isipikha se-subwoofer ungaphansi kuka-100 Hz, ongakwazi ukuzwakala ngendlebe yomuntu, kodwa kungani singawuzwa umthelela we-subwoofer? Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ingxenye yomsindo edlalwa isipikha se-subwoofer ingazwakala ezinye izitho zomzimba womuntu. Ngakho-ke lolu hlobo lwe-subwoofer luvame ukusetshenziswa ezindaweni ezidinga ukudala umoya onjengamathiyetha asekhaya, amathiyetha ama-movie, namathiyetha; i-subwoofer ihlukile ku-subwoofer, ingakwazi ukubuyisela imisindo eminingi ye-low-frequency, okwenza wonke umculo usondele kumsindo wokuqala.

Nokho, ukuhunyushwa kwayo ngomphumela womculo akunamandla njengaleyo yamabhesi asindayo. Ngakho-ke, abathanda abanezidingo eziphakeme zomkhathi bazokhetha ama-subwoofers.
Ake sibheke umehluko phakathi kobubanzi bokusetshenziswa kanye neqhaza lalokhu okubili. Ukusetshenziswa kwama-subwoofers kunqunyelwe. Okokuqala, uma uzofaka i-subwoofer kusipika, qiniseka ukuthi uyifaka kusipika esine-tweeter kanye nesipika se-midrange.
Uma ufaka i-tweeter kuphela kusipika, sicela ungayifaki i-subwoofer phakathi. Isipika senhlanganisela ye-tweeter ne-subwoofer asikwazi ukubuyisela ngokuphelele umsindo, futhi umehluko omkhulu womsindo uzokwenza abantu bazizwe bengakhululekile ezindlebeni. Uma isipikha sakho sifakwe i-tweeter kanye nesipikha sebanga eliphakathi, ungafaka i-subwoofer, futhi umphumela obuyiselwe yisipika esinjalo esihlangene ungokoqobo futhi ushaqisa kakhulu.
