Subwoofers are often overlooked when building a new home theater system. Sure, they might be tucked away in a corner or otherwise out of sight, but they can help your home theater sound more like the cinema. Add a subwoofer, and you’ll feel the depth of the music rather than just hear it. Explosions will have a whole lot more body, and music will have more depth.
There are a ton of options out there, so finding the best can be tricky. We think the best subwoofer for most people is the SVS SB-1000 Pro, offering a great balance between power, price and size. Its rustic design is attractive and it comes with neat smartphone-enabled features, too.
Want something cheap? Willing to pay more? Want the deepest bass possible? Does it need to fit with your Sonos system? We’ve rounded up the best subwoofers for different situations and setups to help give your setup that cinema rumble.
