A subwoofer is a speaker that is specifically designed only to reproduce the lowest of audible frequencies. For more details on subwoofers, refer to my reference articles: Subwoofers - What You Need To Know and Before You Buy A Subwoofer.

I would also consider matching a subwoofer’s performance with the main speakers and surround systems speakers, if you are buying the subwoofer separately. When I chose my subwoofer,I tested the subwoofer in the showroom with main speakers similar to mine in terms of performance.
