In a traditional 5.1 surround sound system, you have 5 speakers and a subwoofer. There will be one speaker front and center, which is used for the audio that is front and center on your TV. This is most commonly used as the dialogue channel. The subwoofer is used for bass effects and producing other deep, rumbling audio.
