Do Ceiling Speakers Need A Subwoofer?

Do ceiling speakers need a subwoofer? Not always, but adding one can transform how your system sounds. In this guide we explain when a sub is worth it, from home cinema to bass-heavy music, and when good ceiling speakers are enough on their own. You’ll also learn the difference between freestanding and in-ceiling subs, what size and power to choose and how to connect one to your amplifier.
