How can multiple woofers generate lower frequency?


Since single woofer has its limited frequency range then how can multiple woofers generate lower frequency? I am always puzzled by this, please provide some knowledge to clarify my confusion.

Thanks in advance.

They don't. Multiple woofers just move more air, thus sound more powerful with the illusion of deeper bass.
Assuming that the woofers are identical, they will have the same frequency response. However, when using two subs in the same room, it is possible to generate somewhat smoother low frequencies due to the effect of the room acoustics. A single subwoofer may excite resonant modes in the room which interfere with the acoustic output of the sub, thereby producing phase cancellation, or nulls, at certain frequencies. A pair of subs, however, will often acoustically load the room differently than a solo sub, so the effects of phase cancellation are reduced, thereby increasing the output.

There is another thread below, "Subwoofers and standing waves", that explores this topic as well.
Take the Soliloquy speakers as an example,

Model Woofer Number Low Frequency
6.2 one 6.5” woofer 28Hz
6.3 two 6.5” woofers 25Hz
6.5 three 6.5” woofers 22Hz

They all use the same woofers, how can it be explained?

Thanks for your inputs.
