Speakers are generally engineered to only reproduce a range similar to that the human ear is able to recieve. Some speakers are cheap and don't have the full range, resulting in a tinny sound. Subwoofers are designed to cover the lower range (even a little below the range of human hearing, though you can still feel it), but they don't reproduce the higher range.
Now, what in particular would you like to know?
