- 1). Choose the correct amplifier for the subwoofer. Every type of subwoofer requires a certain power output by an amplifier. Matching up the power requirement of the subwoofer to the output of an amplifier can make the subwoofer hit harder.
- 2). Install the subwoofer in a bandpass box. A bandpass box is a type of subwoofer box that, when used with certain subwoofers, can maximize sound output. Consult the manufacturer's manual of the subwoofer to determine if a bandpass box is an appropriate option.
- 3). Adjust the settings on the amplifier and stereo unit to accommodate the subwoofer. While every amplifier and stereo unit are different, they typically contain features to fine-tune the audio settings. Adjusting these settings to appropriate levels can allow the subwoofer to hit harder.
