The cheapest solution is a wired one, where you take the output of the TV and plug it into the sub. If it does output audio at the same time as the internal speakers, you can add a subwoofer. If it does, sadly, you're out of luck (and should get a soundbar or other audio system anyway).

Check your owner's manual to see if using the audio output disables the TV's speakers. Some TVs have a subwoofer output (these are rare, however). If you want to add a sub to your system, but don't have a receiver, HTIB, or soundbar with a wired output, you're not out of luck. If you have something like the Bose cube speakers, where the speakers connect to the sub, there's likely other processing going on inside the sub, and I would do additional research to make sure you can switch it out without issue. Wireless subwoofers that come with soundbars or HTIBs generally are proprietary, and can't be upgraded. This could be part of an HTIB, a real 5.1 system, or even a soundbar with a wired sub.

#Should i get speakeramp or subwoofer upgrade#

If you have a wired subwoofer, with a single RCA-style cable running to it, chances are you can upgrade your sub. The 12-inch MonoPrice subwoofer, shown without grille. Most soundbars and HTIB systems come with subwoofers, but they're often low-powered items. A subwoofer is a square(ish) box that supplies all the low-end bass notes in an audio system. Most of us want this at home, but with myriad subwoofers out there - and even more specs and sizes - what's the best choice? Though the simple 'the biggest, most powerful you can afford' is easy to say, the correct answer is little more complex.įirst, let's go over what we're talking about. When you feel the rumble in your chest, that's bass.

The real audio power comes from the low end, the bass. PS: I think the amount you've allocated to speakers, amps, dacs so far is great.Clockwise from top left: Monoprice, Dayton Audio, Martin Logan, Polk, Definitive Technology, PSB. What is your budget? has a great guide and spreadsheet for choosing the best subwoofers at just about any price point.

If you don't have a PC source to use Audiolense or Accourate, a miniDSP 2X4 HD with DiracLive is a cheap way to integrate and EQ that/those sub(s).

If you don't have a subwoofer yet, getting that plus a good DSP solution like Audiolense to integrate and EQ it will be by far the biggest(and most cost effective) upgrade you can achieve. I suspect it's likely the same story for your amp, and I'd only upgrade that if your system doesn't get as loud as you like. Only reason I would upgrade the DAC is if it doesn't support your use case(ex: multi-channel audio). Your DAC is a fantastic one, and it is already perfect to well beyond the limits of human hearing, so there is zero possibility of getting any upgrade there(even with a $90,000 DAC). Upgrading your speakers/sub is like upgrading the engine, and optimizing your room and DSP is like upgrading the brake system. is akin to trying to get faster track times out of your car by upgrading the floor mats.

Trying to get better sound by upgrading DACs, amps(if you don't need more volume), etc. To put it in more perspective, I'd be willing to bet that the differences between your left and right B&W 607 are greater than the differences between the very best and very worst DACs measured here. The truth is that if you don't need more volume, then speakers, subs, room, speaker placement, listener placement, and DSP(Audiolense, Accourate, Dirac, etc.) account for 99.9% of the sound quality you hear. That advice is certainly common on many forums, but it's (imo) based in large part on non-controlled(non blind) listening tests that are heavily influenced by placebo/expectation bias.
