Subwoofers are a vital part of any bass-oriented audio system. Without them, your system would be severely lacking in depth and bass impact! Luckily, subwoofers are easy to install and make great wireless extensions for your furniture.
Subwoofers work by transmitting sound through a low-voltage wire or cables attached to a speaker. The closer the speaker is to the subwoofer, the lower the voltage needs to be to work. Most modern speakers feature a low-voltage connection, making this extension easy to install.
This article will go over how to make a simple wireless subwoofer extension! This article will also explain how to wirelessly extend a large sub with only a few wires if you need to.

Select a subwoofer with an attached power cord
If you have a small room or limited seating capacity, you may be tempted to use a subwoofer that has no power cord. However, if you have a powered sub that does not require a power source, then this article can help you find the right one for your room!
Subwoofers work by sending audio through an acoustic waveguide and into a speaker. This occurs when the bass module of the subwoofer connects to an electrical socket.
When this happens, some of the negative charges in the bass module’s coil are transferred to the plug. These electrons become active and create an electric shock which travels through the wire to your speakers!
This is why your speakers must have a special plug-in order for it to work with a sub!
If you have a small room where only one speaker is enough soundproofing, then maybe only one needs an additional extension cord so that people cannot hear your music or voice through it.
