What is the difference between a woofer and a subwoofer??
I am trying to learn about loudspeakers.
I want to know what is the physical difference between a woofer and a subwoofer.
Is its frame, voice coil, magnet, cap, diaphragm and/or spider is different?
I have tried answers.com, but I am not satisfied yet.
Please help. Thank you.

ha! there really is no physical difference to the things besides the fact a subwoofer is usually placed alone not with a midrange and tweeter in the same box. A subwoofer is by itself and all it requires is a signal going into it. it is self powered and it does not rely on the reciever or amplifier, and a woofer on the other hand usually is more useful if you don't want to blow the hell out of the people's eardrums in a concert. but all in all, the difference is the speaker itself, the subwoofer adds more rumble to the sound and the woofer is good for volume.

sub's give off the deeper sound-the low end sound.
woofer just goes woof woof.
