Best Ported Subwoofers - 100 Watt or Below

Subwoofers should be selected to fit the size of the room, which determines the subwoofer size and its amplifier sound level. Bigger is not always the better when selecting a subwoofer, because in small rooms, you cannot really take advantage of big subwoofer capabilities. Another important factor is whether you want a wired or wireless subwoofer. Wired subwoofers normally deliver a relatively better sound quality, while a wireless subwoofer is simpler to connect and move around as needed.

Ported subwoofers are larger in size. Their bass is louder and more “boomy,” and they consume less power than sealed subwoofers. Ported subwoofers have one or more openings to allow the free-flowing movement of air. They are more expensive and are recommended for large spaces and for people who love high volume.
