Even the smallest powered subs on that list can bring a good amount of bass, adding a nice reinforcement to lower registers and giving your songs some punch. If you want bass that you can feel in your chest, there are powered subs for that, too.

A powered subwoofer can really change how you enjoy music in the car. Bass adds richness and detail that your factory system often lacks, and any kind of music you like just sounds so much more engaging. It works for all music, too, from hip-hop to classical and anything in between.
