Loudspeaker to replace dog? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subwoofer

'loudspeaker' is the definition.
(I know that subwoofer is a type of loudspeaker)

'replace dog?' is the wordplay.
'replace' becomes 'sub' (substitute).
'dog?' becomes 'woofer'.
'sub'+'woofer'='SUBWOOFER'

'to' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
