Here is a simple subwoofer filter circuit that can be powered by a 12V DC. This circuit is very useful in automotive applications subwoofer. The circuit is a low pass filter whose pass frequency can be set between 60 to 160 Hz

| Op-Amp TL072 |
The circuit is built around the TL072 dual op amp IC BIFET. Of the two operational amplifiers inside the chip, IC1A is wired as a buffer. The left and right audio inputs after mixing is fed to the input of the IC1A using the DPDT switch S1. Switch S1 is the phase control switch which can be used to make the subwoofer in phase with other speakers. When S1 is in position 2, 180 degree phase shift will be induced.POT R7 can be used for controlling the level. IC1B forms the low pass filter whose pass frequency can be controlled by adjusting the dual gang POT R13.
Note:
- The circuit can be powered from 12V DC.
- C5 and C6 must be polyester capacitors.
- POT R13 can be used for adjusting the pass frequency.
- POT R7 can be used for adjusting the level.

This Driver + Amplifier Sub Woofer circuit can be connected to an existing car stereo amplifier, adding the often required extra "punch" to the music by driving a subwoofer. As low frequencies are omnidirectional, a single amplifier is necessary to drive this dedicated loudspeaker.

Q1,Q2_________BC547 45V 100mA NPN Transistors
IC1___________TL072 Dual BIFET Op-Amp
IC2_________TDA1516BQ 24W BTL Car Radio Power Amplifier IC
SW1____________DPDT toggle or slide Switch
SW2____________SPST toggle or slide Switch capable of withstanding a current of at least 3A
The power amplifier used is a good and cheap BTL (Bridge Tied Load) 13 in IC made by Philips (now NXP Semiconductors) requiring a very low
parts count and capable of delivering about 22W into a 4 Ohm load at the standard car battery voltage of 14.4V.
Notes:
- IC2 must be mounted on a suitable finned heatsink
- Due to the long time constant set by R17 and C9 in the dc voltage stabilizer, the whole amplifier will become fully operative about 15 - 30 sec. after switch-on.
