Active sub or not it doesn't matter for the performance dude : The job is gonna do the amp for the active sub inside it it's excatly the same in terms of sound quality of the main amp of our stereo for the non active too ok ?? all that matters 1st is the amplifier's sound quality very important this one and then it's the cabin construction - the crossover -and of course the driver's quality : afterall what's the difference if the amp is out or inside the sub ?? Of course i'm talking about for equal subs Now the point is for the super powerfull subs like 2000 or 3000 watts , no normal stereo has such a powerfull amplifier so we need an active sub with 3000 watts amplifier inside or an external car amp for subs to drive this 3000 watts passive drivers - subs

I for one appreciate your opinion, I've checked out the information you give on the Vizio sound bar and found it to be correct. Thank you so much GC

The performance of the passive sub depends upon its quality and the amp that powers it. The advantages of the passive sub are: i) The amp is not exposed to the strong vibrations that the sub should produce. ii) It is possible to enhance the performance of the passive sub by using a better amp.

Gracias por la explicación, me quedo muy claro

I have passive Sony sub and how do I connect it to an amplifier sub out?

Would’ve been Nice to have examples!!

Are there specific speaker wires for a powered subwoofer?

I have the passive LG subwoofer, can I buy and add a second passive LG woofer to the receiver? Only one output on the receiver, but would double up the speaker wire in the same slot. SH93SA-W is the model number.

I have a unit that can do 2 sub would it be best to do one of each or 2 of one type

What are the brand and model of the passive subwoofer is that?

Nice video

If a powered sub has a bypass feature, is it okey to leave the sub on? I'm using the SONY SA-WM40 POWERED ACTIVE SUBWOOFER.

thanks

I have passive subwoofer no power cord.. can or not if i want use the subwoofer direct connect tu my tv if i convert the wire subwoofer to RCA

What is the type of this Yamaha

Nicee

Bro, can I connect the passive sub. Into the 5.1 pioneer audio receiver?

Hello I'm having Yamaha rx v375 AV receiver which is having a pre out sub woofer option. but I hav passive sub woofer... how can I connect my sub woofer to Receiver...! pls make a video thankq

Need your help bro How to connect sony 4ohm passive subwoofer to yamaha receiver ?

In my car I have a stereo player, can I use passive subwoofer directly to my stereo device?

Load & clear I got u bro

A passive subwoofer might be better for someone who wants the sub to enhance stereo music, multi-channel music, and surround sound movies, without having the need to adjust sub volume going from one application to another. For example: 1. for stereo music, any source, I am using my digital pre/pro's DSP function to get passive sub output level and crossover relationship with mains to where it sounds right at the average volume level I listen to stereo music, 2. for multi-channel music, I am using the multi-channel source component's bass management feature for appropriate bass output from the passive sub, and 3. for movies I am using my analog multi-channel preamp's channel level controls for passive sub bass management. With these configurations, bass from stereo music, multi-channel music, and movies do not need additional adjustments; but, if bass level adjustment is needed, no matter the media, I can adjust by simply turning sub's external power amp gain up or down. At any rate, my point is an active sub pretty much precludes bass management to the sub's amp gain and crossover control; thus, the necessity to make adjustments going from stereo music to multi-channel music to movies. In addition the active sub may not permit control of main speaker bass frequency cut off in a typical analog stereo system. This is enough to realize active subs give consumers convenience up front but not down the road, whereas, passive subs are less convenient to set-up but require virtually no adjustment after being set up. That may be important to folks who want the sub to enhance all stereo and multi-channel media. One more thing, I disagree with your assessment that an active sub is better for desired "thump". Desired "thump" has more to do with the size of the driver and amplification. And, BTW, if you peek in on the room filling thumping subs at your local cinema you will discover that those are very likely to be 18 inch passive units. In home environments they're really indispensable for shuffling to dance music.

Dude how I connect one extra subwoofer in my Samsung home theater system 5.1 its only aux input behind home theater system connection 😔

i have a pioneer active subwoofer that cuts whenever there is a huge bass knock, how do i solve this please. i really need help.

Most active subwoofers have crappy amplifiers in them that distort

Can I connect a active subwoofer to my Sony bdv e3200 home theater

Terrible comparison facts. The cable length exists for both in this case and there are way more varibles than this.

CM7520 LG

Honestly for me I would rather get a passive one because I don’t want to have way too much bass that rattles the house just enough so I can tell what’s going on in the lower frequencies

Is this finch from person of interest

So what's the difference between a powerd subwoofer then an active

What f I don't like bass were I can hear the sub bang and boom sound that is not in the track? I'm confused!

hey . . what if I put out the amp of my active sub and place it in another place. . oh it transformed into passive. . wtf?

Difference being where the amplifier is

143 seconds video and you used 10 seconds of it to express your opinion. Better opinion: these days AVRs assume you have an active sub, the AVRs' amplifier channels are not optimized to drive a sub, but if you pair a passive sub with a dedicated amp, it can sound just as good.

What's the point of having an amp in the sub and then hook it up to a receiver or another amp when you can just use the passive sub. I'm lost still as to why you would use a powered sub? I thought the reason it's "powered" was that it had the amp built in so you don't need a receiver. Thought you hook speakers to the back and plug in your phone into the white and red then press play and you're set.

This is really, really deceptive. An external amp can deliver sufficient power to a passive SW to compete on equal terms with an active SW. At the bottom line, the location of the amplifier is the only real difference: on the SW itself is active, and external to the SW is passive. A quality passive SW will generally use something a bit more robust than standard speaker wire. One is not better than the other, but as is frequently the case, there are tradeoffs at play. If you want to go passive, the most important factors are: (1) Does your amplifier have output necessary to drive your passive at the level you want? Not all do; (2) Location. The farther you place a passive SW from the amp, the more robust your wire and connectors need to be. Some people find it advantageous to control their SW via their main amp rather than by controls on the back of the SW. Personally, I prefer passives, as actives just have a lot more to go wrong. If a passive craps out, chances are you can fix it by merely replacing the driver. This is frequently about a third the cost of a new speaker.

not a good compersion, you are using a low end passive sub and a mid end active sub. i have a passive sub over here that will outperform both of your subs

I don't understand why the bass effect of Passive Subwoofer seems better.

You took 3 minutes to tell me the more expensive one is better? 😔

You are comparing the performance of two subwoofers with different drivers, enclosure designs, and may be also power. That i think is not a valid evaluation of passive and active subwoofer performances.

So basically , the active subwoofer box has a built in amplifier.

Active best....because it speaker wire is too short length...

Active Speaker alwys

"Active woofer produces much better thump and lows than passive woofers"...... Sure buddy, tell that to my 2ohms brigged, 3500 RMS watt passive 12" Orion HCCA (Competition Series), that was specifically made for SPL contest (car audio/bass competition), that is used in my home theater system. It creates ground shaking, glass shattering, door busting bass. Something an active/powered woofer will never be able to achieve.

Passives are better, as these "active" cheepo chinease "built to a cost" amps are complete class d junk..... the chips inside are of the poorist quality as are the capacitors (if any) all cheepo, better wire it to a normal amplifier, buy a crossover, then buy one of them car speaker subs...... lol

That fuckin Yamaha will kick that LGs ass in the long run

really ? comparing lg with yamaha ? :)

Haha.... Rough crowd

Passiv is betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
