Are subwoofers interchangeable?

You can’t add a standalone subwoofer to most soundbars. It’s typically only possible when both the soundbar and the subwoofer are sold together and designed to natively connect to one another.

Can a subwoofer be used alone?

Yes, with the right connection, you can achieve the low frequencies of a subwoofer without the use of a speaker system. To achieve this, use a line level RCA converter or speaker level inputs with a powered subwoofer.

Can any speaker be a subwoofer?

A normal speaker is not capable of producing low-frequency sound emission and hence, cannot be used as a subwoofer. Given the subwoofer’s unique purpose, a normal speaker cannot replace it. You can use a woofer to achieve low bass tones, but even this does not compare to a sub.
