A subwoofer is a type of speaker. Its purpose is to work in conjunction with other speakers which mostly output treble. Its main purpose is to provide the bass to whatever you are listening to.

You may have heard people pull up next to your car at traffic lights with their music really loud and you will feel the vibrations from the deep bass sounds from their music. A Subwoofer is being used to create those deep earth moving sounds and vibrations you can feel

A subwoofer is just a speaker that generates sounds at very low frequencies; they help give sound systems a more "solid" feel in terms of deep sound (at least that's the way I think of it).

As for sounding like an idiot - as far as I'm concerned, the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ever ask!!!

subwoofer is a larger diameter speaker which generally is dedicated to playing the low notes (low fequency). The more you divide up the range of notes the speakers have to play, the easier it is it get better sound quality. Another bonus is that you can seriously increase the bass power and clarity with a dedicated subwoofer.

it goes: Tweeter (plays the very high notes and is pretty small), then Woofer (normal speaker, which plays the middle notes), then subwoofer (which plays the low notes, and tends to be large).

I guess thats a super quick overview of them. Theres tons more to it, but I dont feel like typing a novel right now :)

Its a larger speaker that creates Bass sound. Bass is the really deep sound that you can feel in your chest and rattles the windows when you crank the music.
