Subwoofers?

[Lays]

 I wanted some good subwoofers for my PC, preferably BIG ones that get some serious thump.  

 

I have a logitech z506 5.1 surround kit right now, but the sub is like 6 inches and while it's loud, I want it louder.

 

 

Can I use car subs? And if I can, how do I go about powering them+ wiring them up?

 

 

I want like 2 12's or 2 14/15's.

i think you are going to be deaf if it's going to be louder than a logitech z506

If you want big and loud, you could go with a Carwin-Vega http://www.cerwinvega.com/pro-audio/powered-speaker-system/active-subwoofer/cva-121.html

Where do I buy one, and how would I hook it up?

 

I don't know much about audio stuff besides headphones :s

You can hook up subwoofers from the car, my friend did it, hes also an electrician and I know nothing of his magic.

the easiest setup would be to take a bazooka car sub and splitting one of the audio lines and feeding it to the sub which would take a 2 line input which is what you would get if you cut a 3.5mm lines from your computer

and to feed the sub's built in amp power feed it via old shitty PSU

I've ripped apart a PSU to power HID light bulbs for my halogen to HID conversion/retrofit on my car it is pretty easy to do. just be sure which line you use.

 

edit: you don't necessarily have to get the bazooka I just thought it was the most noob friendly. you can just go to a local pawn shop and pick up an amp/sub combo there take advantage of savings on the backs of people who don't know how to budget

I have a quick question about this.

What is a Subwoofer?

[t0wer]

A speaker, seperate from the main speaker cabnet, typically built with a separate amp that provides the lowest audible frequencies heard.

you can have more than one now too. Mostly for really big rooms and silly imgur jokes:

I found the pic I took. the fan was there because I think you need a load to put on one of the lines or something. either way read the guides it is very easy to do, its been years since I did this so unable to provide further instruction

 

 

edit: before I get flamed for using electrical tape and the looks of it I only needed to power it up for a few minutes so I could adjust the shrouds with washers so that I could get the rainbow coloring effect to happen (refraction from the shroud)
