Subwoofer Amplifier Using TDA2003 IC

A Subwoofer Amplifier can be considered a loudspeaker that generates low-frequency audio signals. They’re specially configured electronic circuits that are used to enhance the signal strength & bass quality of any input audio signal. Subwoofer amplifiers find their use mainly in the entertainment industry where audio quality is of utmost importance in procedures such as live music production & recording. So in this tutorial, we will look into a step-by-step process on How to make a Subwoofer Amplifier circuit using TDA2003 audio amplifier IC.

The heart of this circuit is a TDA2003 10W audio amplifier IC. It is a general-purpose audio amplifier IC that is useful in stereo or mono audio design circuits. The amplifier can output up to 3.5A current to drive speakers and can also handle high currents up to 5A for a short duration without any damage.

Subwoofer Amplifier Circuit

Working Explanation

A subwoofer amplifier works on the following principle. Audio input is taken from a device such as a smartphone. Here a 2.2uF coupling capacitor (C3) is used to block any DC signal, allowing only the AC component of the signal to move on towards the input pin IN+ pin of the TDA2003 amplifier IC.

The output from the audio amplifier IC then goes through a filtering capacitor (C2) to filter out any residual noise from the IC output signal before allowing it to move on towards the output. The output audio signal can be taken on any loudspeaker of appropriate resistance. connect a 1.8pF 250V film capacitor in case the speaker output is noisy.

Application

• It is generally used in devices such as home theater systems so that the speakers can produce noise-free high bass music of high quality.
