1. Power Output

The power output of a subwoofer, measured in watts, determines how loud it can get. More powerful subwoofers can produce louder and deeper bass.

2. Frequency Range

The frequency range of a subwoofer indicates the range of sounds it can reproduce. A wider range means the subwoofer can produce both higher and lower sounds.

3. Size and Design

The size and design of a compact subwoofer are crucial as it needs to fit into your space without compromising on sound quality. Consider where you will place the subwoofer and ensure it matches your room's aesthetics.

4. Connectivity Options

Consider what devices you want to connect to the subwoofer. Some models offer Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming, while others may have wired connections like RCA or speaker wire inputs.
