Subwoofer Controller Frequency, Phase, Gain

To create a 2.1 audio system, 5.1 channel home audio or active subwoofer, low pass filter/ Subwoofer controller is required to pass the low frequency and eliminate the high frequency. Because of the low frequencies that spread in all directions, the music recordings are mono low frequency, namely the right and left it's same. So it takes only one subwoofer, this low pass filter circuit should be able to adjust the frequency of the crossover so that the overall response frequency can be flat and can adjust to the frequency response of the subwoofer speakers used. Below the circuit design of subwoofer controller:

Working Principles
U1 A/B NE5532 as a pre-amp which amplifying a voltage of about 3X. Then the output is mixed so it becomes a mono signal. Then the signal goes into U2A NE5532 which functions as a subsonic filter, ie signal with the frequency below 20 Hz is eliminated. Signals with frequencies below 20 Hz can not be heard and often cause damage the subwoofer speaker.

Then signals with frequencies above 300 Hz are discarded by U2B, whose output is fed to a low pass filter whose crossover frequency can be adjusted from 35 Hz to 150 Hz with U3A NE5532. With the U2B, the slope filter becomes sharper. U2B and U3A functioned as a second order Butterworth filter.

The output of the above filter is inputted to a phase regulator whose phase can be adjusted from 0 to 180 degrees. The goal is for subwoofer sound phase like the sound of satellite speakers. Due to the placement of the subwoofer which is often not parallel to the satellite speakers so that the required phase correction.

For making this subwoofer controller easier, I share the PCB layout design for it below:

    1. yes its really working same as crossover filter.

    2. Can I use a one dual gang pot instead of having 2 seperate pots to adjust the frequency?

    3. Yes, you can use stereo potentio meter. Actually, to set the frequency need stereo pot, because im using proteus, there is no stereo pot.

  6. Hi, this circuit looks like exactly what I need! But I can't make a PCB - do you supply kits or PCBs, please? If not, is it possible to have a file in a format I can send to a PCB manufacturer?
    Many thanks for great ideas!

  12. Many enthusiasts install the large subwoofers in the trunk but if you need that space to hold other belongings, you may want to reconsider. If what you're looking for is a deep bass and something that doesn't have a big ban, then you should just go with a normal subwoofer. For most people a smaller subwoofer will be sufficient for their needs. If you tend to play your music at low to medium volume levels, a small subwoofer will bring out the bass enough to enhance the quality of the music. You'll still get a deep and rich bass but of course you won't get a thundering base like the bigger speakers. Then there are the power requirements of the speaker The power requirement of the car subwoofer speaker has to match the amplifier. Obviously bigger subwoofer speakers will need more power or the amplifier simply won't be able to handle it. In some cases, the sound quality will be muffled or will start to distort if the amplifier cannot handle the power of the subwoofer speaker. Another thing to look at is to consider the different designs. Some speakers radiates sound from the side, front, or downwards. This creates a different listening experience. For example, the subwoofer that radiates the sound downwards will keep more of the bass inside your car and create a vibration in your car. car subwoofer
