Best Budget Enclosed Car Subwoofer

(August 28, 2009)

If you don’t have any options to integrate a subwoofer into your car’s audio system, an ‘enclosed’ subwoofer is a popular choice. Colloquially known as a ‘box’, an enclosed subwoofer brings the added bass of a subwoofer without the hassle of tearing up your car’s interior panels to route the wiring. These easy-to-install units are often compact enough to place in the trunk of your car without taking up too much space, and require no further setup apart from plugging the appropriate wires in. As a bonus for those of you on a budget, enclosed subwoofers also offer excellent bang for your buck. Here are the five best ones to look out for.
