The difference between passive and active subwoofers is that a passive subwoofer depends on an external amplifier, while an active subwoofer contains a built-in amplifier. The passive subwoofer is usually smaller and less bulky than the active subwoofer, although it produces a less intense sound.
Active Woofer –
This type of sub is a self-contained speaker and amplifier. The speaker and amplifier are matched for optimal performance and both are housed in the same enclosure. This takes a lot of the power load away from the A/V receiver and allows the receiver or amplifiers to just power the mid-range and tweeter speakers.
Passive Woofer –
Passive subwoofers are called passive because they need to be powered by an external amplifier or Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. This is similar to traditional speakers. The important thing to remember about a passive sub is that since the sub needs more power to reproduce low-frequency sounds, the amplifier or A/V receiver needs to be able to send enough power to sustain bass effects reproduced by the sub without draining the power supply in the A/V receiver or amplifier.
Based on the room size you have to choose the driver, the quantity of woofer, etc. if you want the best output from the woofer tries to spend any amount on two woofers. If you’re buying, multiple wooers then try to buy quantity in even numbers.
