All speakers work by the same principle. They have a part that vibrates, and running electrical current through it causes it to vibrate.

Running the same amount of electrical current through two speakers will generate different frequencies of vibration if one speaker is bigger and heavier than the other, because that requires more energy to vibrate. Basically, subwoofers are just bigger and heavier speakers. The part that vibrates is more resistant to vibrating, making it vibrate more slowly with the same amount of current.
