1 Acoustic Audio HDS10 10" zidni pasivni subwoofer – najbolji jeftini zidni subwoofer

Započet ću s najpovoljnijim subwooferom za ugradnju u zid i radim svoj put prema gore. Da vidimo koliko biste trebali uložiti da dobijete zvučnik koji dobro zvuči.

HDS10 Acoustic Audio je dobar početak. Ovaj zvučnik košta samo škripu više od 50 smackeroos i ima prilično snažan glas za tu cijenu. Može podnijeti od 20 do 300 Ampera, tako da je to impresivno moćno za jeftiniji zvučnik. Naravno, biti stožac od 10 inča ne boli.

Pogledajmo konstrukciju ovdje...

Sam stožac je tkana konstrukcija nalik kevlaru ojačana vlaknima koja bi trebala izdržati neke teške udarce. Okružen je okvirom od butilne gume koji ga održava fleksibilnim. Nosač je plastični, ali još uvijek prilično čvrst. Ovo je prekriveno tankom metalnom mrežastom rešetkom.

Obrub i rešetka su bijeli, iako možete obojiti preko rešetke da odgovara vašem zidu ako želite. Samo ga obavezno premažite laganim slojem kako se rupice ne bi začepile bojom.

Zvučno

Ovo nije najbolji zvučnik na tržištu. Dok proizvođač tvrdi da ima frekvencijski odziv od 26 Hz do 200 Hz, ne mislim da dobivate puno akcije u nižim rasponima. U isto vrijeme, ono što čujete prilično je jasno i točno.

Međutim, otkrio sam da postoji malo unutarnjeg zveckanja u ovom zvučniku kada se pojača na veliku glasnoću. Drugi problem je taj što kada pustite da se ovaj zvučnik pokida, rešetka obično iskoči. Pretpostavljam da biste to mogli popraviti s malo ljepila jer je inače više nego neugodno.

Prednosti

• Vrlo povoljno za samo 50 USD.
• Pristojna snaga i dobar zvuk do srednje visoke razine.

Protiv

• Rešetka može skliznuti ako se njome glasno svira.
• Zvučnik trešti pri velikoj glasnoći.

2 Monoprice Calibre Series 10″ subwoofer za ugradnju – najbolji jeftini subwoofer za ugradnju

Kao prvi od dvije Monoprice ponude na ovom popisu najboljih zidnih subwoofera, ovaj zvučnik košta malo više od modela Acoustic Audio koji smo upravo vidjeli. Oko 15 dolara više, da budemo precizni, ali što se tiče konstrukcije, vrlo su slični.

I ovaj Calibre zvučnik i HDS10 su membrane od 10” izrađene od tkanih vlakana. Ovdje je to "Aramid", što je isto što i Kevlar, samo nije isti naziv marke. Ovaj čvrsti stožac dizajniran je da izdrži ozbiljne udare i mislim da će zadržati svoju krutost i izvorni oblik tijekom dugog razdoblja korištenja.

Izgled

Tanka metalna rešetka ovdje se također smatra pogodnom za farbanje. Plastična obloga zapravo nije; u praksi, možete ga bojati sprejom ako želite promijeniti boju. Možda također poprskate preko zaštitnog prozirnog premaza da spriječite ogrebotine.

Šteta što ne dolaze u drugim bojama osim bijele. Barem bi crna i smeđa bile sjajne za uparivanje standardnih boja zvučnika.

Izvedba

Zvuk je ovdje osjetno bolji od HDS10. Bas je dublji i robusniji. Ovaj zvučnik također ima snagu od 300 W, tako da ga možete pojačati i dobiti zvuk koji zvecka u prsima. Nema zveckanja pri visokoj glasnoći, iako ćete pri maksimalnoj čuti malo izobličenja.

Sve u svemu, dobar mali pristupačan zvučnik. Moja jedina zamjerka je krhkost kopči za zidnu montažu. Dobar su posao sprječavanja zveckanja zidova, ali su slabe plastike i čini se da će se lako slomiti uz malo previše napetosti.

Prednosti

• Pristupačna cijena.
• Rešetka koja se može bojati.
• Pristojan zvuk i dobra snaga.

Protiv

• Montažne kopče su jeftine, krhke plastike, pa morate biti posebno oprezni tijekom instalacije.
• Izobličenje se može čuti pri maksimalnoj glasnoći.

3 OSD IWS10 10 inčni subwoofer za zid – najbolji subwoofer za malu sobu

U svojoj recenziji imam tri različita proizvoda iz OST-a ili Optimal Speaker Design. Prvi je ovaj sabvufer od 10” koji izgleda dosta poput prethodna dva zvučnika koja smo već vidjeli.

Kako je onda drugačije?

Za početak, cijena. Cijena ovog zvučnika je blizu 90 dolara, što znači da je skoro duplo više nego što biste platili za Acoustic Audio HDS10. S krutim polipropilenskim konusom i gumenim okvirom, nije čak ni uvjerljivo izdržljiviji. Međutim, konstrukcija kućišta i trima čini se puno boljom. Osim toga, rešetka je ovdje magnetska, što joj pomaže da ostane uključena mnogo bolje.

Također se može bojati - ovaj put se mogu bojati i rešetka i obloge, a još jednom preporučujem prskanje ako je moguće. No, ako trebate uskladiti boju zida kako bi izgledao suptilno, možete ga također zarolati.

S druge strane...

Ocijenjena je za samo 200 W, što ga čini osjetno tišim od HDS10 ili Monoprice Calibra. Zvučnici iste veličine i opće cjenovne kategorije. Sve su to pasivni zvučnici koji zahtijevaju bas pretpojačalo. Međutim, čak i uz veliku snagu u vašem pojačalu, ovaj zvučnik ne postaje ni približno tako glasan kao druga dva.

Ovdje je i montaža drugačija. IWS10 dolazi s metalnim nosačem za montažu. To je jedan od subwoofera koji se najjednostavnije postavljaju , ali zvecka. Naravno, problem možete riješiti nabavom druge montažne ploče ili hrpom ljepljive trake. Međutim, to je svakako smetnja za potpuno novi proizvod.

Zvuk ovih zvučnika je lijep i tih, gladak i čist. Zvuči malo bolje od prethodna dva, ali za više novca, manje energije i smetnje pri postavljanju, postoje bolje opcije.

Prednosti

• Dobar, jasan bas zvuk.
• I rešetka i obloge mogu se bojati.

Protiv

• Nosači za pričvršćivanje zveckaju.
• Uz 200 W, ovom zvučniku nedostaje snage.

4 OSD SL800 subwoofer s dva pogona – najbolji kompaktni subwoofer za zid

Nastavit ćemo s OSD-om kako bismo im dali još jednu priliku da uđu u prvenstvo najboljih zidnih subwoofera. Njihov SL800 je korak u zanimljivom i općenito boljem smjeru.

Let’s have a look…

First off, you’re going to notice that this is our first black-grilled speaker. It’s also a much bigger animal at 14.5” x 28”. What’s going on? This is a dual-drive in-wall subwoofer , meaning it has two drivers or two speakers in it. This includes an 8” passive cone and a 10” radiator cone below it. It’s also rated to handle 300 Watts.

At a price of only about $100, you’re getting about double the speaker than the cheaper models we’ve already seen. Both cones are polypropylene in durable rubber surrounds, and they do sound good. They’re set into a sealed and tuned enclosure that also keeps out dust.

But there’s something very important to note here…

This is not truly an in-wall speaker. At a thickness of 5” including feet, it can be slipped in anywhere around your room and can actually stand up on the floor. It has mounting brackets on the back to make it into an “on-wall” speaker that you can mount on drywall plugs.

However, if you want to place this speaker into the wall, you’ll have to build a stud box for it. You’ll also need to cut the drywall perfectly as there’s no trim to help out.

This speaker might just be worth it, though. It has a nice smooth output and a truly clear sound, with enough power to fill up any small to medium-sized room.

Prednosti

• Good price and power.
• Clear sound with no buzz or distortion.

Protiv

• Not truly an in-wall speaker – but can be mounted in a wall with a lot of extra work.

5 Monoprice Alpha In-Wall Subwoofer – Most Reliable In-Wall Subwoofer

This is Monoprice’s second product on my list. You’ll remember that the first, the Caliber, was affordable and not bad sounding.

So how does the Alpha compare?

The Alpha In-Wall Speaker is a 10” carbon fiber subwoofer speaker that handles 300 Watts of pure pumping power. While the Caliber was also a 10” speaker, this one is made of higher-quality carbon fiber weave, making it stiffer and a lot longer-lasting (without shape distortion) than the Aramid fiber model.

It’s also a lot more resistant to warping than other polymer drivers. It’s also more responsive to power, which means you can get more out of this speaker using less power than with other materials.

The rubber surround also adds to the driver’s durability…

Together, they form a driver that has a claimed frequency response of 33 – 230Hz. And I think this claim is quite accurate. Cranked up, this speaker delivers some pretty solid low frequencies.

Although the real test is to try it with some of the best Songs You Need a Great Subwoofer to Fully Appreciate. Let some bass-heavy beats loose, and this speaker does a solid job handling it. I found the sound impressive for a speaker priced at only a bit over $100.

On the downside, though, these speakers are 6 inches deep. This means they won’t fit in a standard 4½” wall. This greatly limits your choice of where to locate them, as they won’t fit in standard stud walls. If you have a deeper area or a built-out TV or stereo cabinet, however, you’re in luck.

Prednosti

• Good sound at a good price =excellent value for money.
• Solid, durable driver with little distortion.
• Grilles can be painted.

Protiv

• Can’t be installed in a standard 4½” stud wall.

6 OSD IWS88 Dual In-Wall Subwoofer – Best Value for the Money In-Wall Subwoofer

The folks at Optimum Speaker Design are having one last crack at the ideal in-wall subwoofer . This time, they’re offering the IWS88 Dual In-Wall Subwoofer for our listening pleasure. Why “Dual”? Simple – this speaker features twin 8” drivers. For the same price as the Monoprice Alpha, you can get this double-driver subwoofer instead.

The question is, though, “Is it better?”

While OSD really dropped the ball on their ISW10, I think they’ve managed to do a lot better here and at a very good price to boot. While the construction is the same as the 10” speaker from before, with a polypropylene cone and rubber surround, the small size must help to make these sound better.

They’re also connected with a stiff, reinforced back bridge which must also help. I’m not saying this is the same as having a single 16” sub, but the back bridge adds some power to the mix. A lot more than you would expect from two independent 8” woofers.

Some Drawbacks

Once again, though, the mounting system leaves a bit to be desired. You’ve got dog-ear clips here that clip the speaker right onto your sheetrock. However, they’re finicky and hard to get tight without slipping. On the plus side, though, they don’t buzz once they’re securely tightened like with the ISW10 model.

In the end, I think this is a great in-wall subwoofer for the price . It handles a max power of 350 Watts and really can get loud and low, adding a decent thump to your bass delivery. It may not be as durable over the long-term as the Monoprice Alpha due to its construction, though. But you’ll still get a lot of miles out of it for sure.

Prednosti

• Good sound for a good price.
• More power than we’ve seen so far for the louder low-end.
• Paintable grille and trim.

Protiv

• Finicky installation.
• Trim and grille come off-white, not pure white.

7 JBL Professional Control 40CS/T – Best In-Wall Subwoofer for Bass

With six down and only two subwoofers left to go, it’s time to get into one of the biggest names in speakers these days. JBL has got a subwoofer that delivers a big punch, which should be no surprise if you know their reputation. Bass is key to the JBL sound.

They call this their “high-impact” subwoofer, probably because it has a maximum power handling of 400 Watts. That’s some superior power, alright, and for 8” cones, these guys put out a whole lot of full and clear low end. If you want one of the most powerful in-wall subwoofers , this could be it.

Why did I say “these guys”?

That’s because these speakers are sold as a pair. That’s great if you want a big room-filling surround sound, but not so good if you only have the money for one. The pair costs around $650, which works out to $325 each. So that’s a lot steeper than what we’ve been looking at so far.

The frequency range of 32 – 300Hz isn’t quite as low as it could be, but you can still get some huge rumble out of these, especially in a set. These drivers are simply polypropylene cones with rubber surrounds, copper coils, and vented aluminum formers. They should give you decent longevity. But the sound, I think, is tremendously clear.

Now, are you ready for the bad news?

I haven’t been entirely honest with you. While these are great-sounding speakers, they’re actually designed as ceiling-mounted speakers, not in-wall speakers.

You can certainly set them up in a wall or a built-out cabinet, but their 13” depth is going to be a very serious limitation to where you can place them. I still think they have a lot of potential, but they won’t be for everyone’s set-up, unfortunately.

Prednosti

• Excellent, powerful sound.
• High-impact bass delivery.

Protiv

• 13” deep and designed for in-ceiling installation.
• A lot pricier than the competition.

8 Klipsch RW-5802 II In-Wall Subwoofer – Best Premium In-Wall Subwoofer

Now for my final trick, I present to you one dual subwoofer that costs less than the pair of JBLs. Well, it’s not a trick at all. Shouldn’t it cost less?

Well, not really, since you’re getting a dual-driver subwoofer here, and the Klipsch brand reassures you about the quality of the product. It’s just a little over $600, which is nothing, really, for a wonderful sound.

Isn’t that right?

In this case, I don’t think you’re going to be disappointed. Klipsch has twinned a pair of 8” cerametallic cones in a sealed integrated enclosure to produce some serious bass sound. Like most Klipsch speakers, the focus is on accuracy here, and this unit delivers a clear and accurate low end.

The super-stiff ceramic-aluminum material in the cones is extremely distortion resistant, and that maintains a beautiful clarity of sound. The stiff enclosure also helps to increase the sound, giving great volume for a 300W load.

The frequency response of 45 – 140Hz is the only downside. They sound great – smooth and clean, but I still miss the really, really deep end.

Installation-wise

These speakers go up easily and have a really low profile. The magnetic grilles and the trim can both be painted from their factory white color. Or you can leave them off to show the black and copper under faces for an industrial look.

Just be prepared for shaking and buzzing. I don’t mean in the speakers themselves (if they buzz, return them – yours are defective). I mean in your walls.

That massive bass is going to shake everything, so be sure to do some extra reinforcement and add extra screws and maybe even caulk any sheetrock seams around the installation site. You should also put some fiberglass insulation behind the speaker to help keep the sound where you want it.

Prednosti

• Beautiful big and clear sound.
• Powerful and long-lasting.

Protiv

• Skupo.
• Require extra reinforcement on installation.

How to Buy the Best In Wall Subwoofer

Subwoofers are fairly simple machines. But the way they are tweaked and the materials they’re made from can make huge differences in sound quality, volume, and power. Here’s what to look for in a great in-wall subwoofer .

Snaga

Almost all in-wall subwoofers are passive, which means you’ll need a subwoofer amplifier to power these babies up. The flip side is that you can then run that power over your cables and don’t need to have an outlet within reach like you would need to plug in active speakers. This lets you place them almost anywhere.

Volume

There’s no point investing in speakers that you can’t hear or that are too small for the room you want to fill up with a wall of sound. Speakers rated at 200 Watts may do the trick for small rooms, but for medium to big rooms, you’ll need 300 Watts or more.

Furthermore, two subwoofers in a medium or big room will help to distribute sound. However, wattage is not the only factor in making a big sound. Speaker design is critical, and so is the stiffness and design of any housing they’re in.

Installation

As we’re talking about in-wall or architectural speakers here, it’s important to remember that installation is a tricky business. If you can do it yourself and have the necessary tools, great. But if not, a contractor might be a major extra cost to take into consideration.

As well as the cost, you have to think of placement. Getting your speakers in the right place is a bit of a trick (see our article on subwoofer placement for some great tips). You will need to cut a hole in the wall, so you want to be sure you have the size and placement of your speakers right before you do. A 10” speaker usually needs a 12” hole, so make sure you can spare it.

Price

As always, price is a big factor in choosing a great speaker. For in-wall speakers, I suggest spending as much as you can. Zašto? Because if you buy cheap speakers and they fail, or if you want to upgrade later, you may find yourself cutting holes in the wall all over the place. Get something good, and it will last you as long as you need.

What is the Best In Wall Subwoofer?

This is a strange one for me. I rarely recommend the most expensive product on a list. After all, it might be the overall best, but you have to consider what the average person can afford. But this time, I just can’t help myself.

OSD IWS88 Dual is a great  all-around in-wall subwoofer  for the price. I probably would have recommended it in a flash if I hadn’t heard the Klipsch. But since I did, my enduring love and choice for the best go to the…

Klipsch RW-5802 II

This speaker is expensive, I know. But it’s also miles ahead of the competition in terms of sound quality. If you can afford it, get one. That’s what I’m saying.

Whichever speaker you choose, I hope you find that in-wall was the way to go, to save floor space, keep things neat and tidy, and of course, crank the bass that up until now was missing from your life.

Do sljedećeg puta, ugodno slušanje.
