Bass you can feel!!!

(5 out of 5) by Donovan T. Taylor on Jul 14, 2008 (Baltimore)
One word describes this woofer, AWSOME

When I got this woofer I tested it in an existing 15" home theater sub box. Even though the woofer did not sit properly in the test box(non air-tight fit) the sub easily out performed my existing Memphis audio 15" sub in dynamics, punchy-ness and bottom end repose. I have since built a 4.5ft^3 box for the sub, using a the bash 300 watt amp and the Precision Port 4" Flared Port Tube Kit. This thing is a monster!!! LFE hits on DVD's actually surprise me with both the punch magnitude and depth!!!

This is a truly well made product.... 5 Stars

I bought this sub from [...] even at that price it's worth it! many comparable car subs retail for many times that.

I built the box myself. Home Depot cut the 48"x48" 3/4" mdf for me - for $30. I used Dayton's recommended sealed box dimensions (2.3 cu-ft). The ported sub is 5.75 cu-ft, and will get you more bass extension. I prefer sound quality, and the 'small' box.

Using Dayton's 240 Wrms amp with bass boost (purchased for $99 at partsexpress), I rock my house with the amp set to half gain, and my receiver set to 25% sub output. The sub is very sensitive - it's not using more than 120 Wrms at full tilt.

I haven't tested output or frequency, but it's loud and low enough for movies, and tight enough for music (classic rock, classical, ska, techno). Dayton claims 120 dB with their 1000 W amp (the sub can only take 800 Wrms) and sealed box. with 240 W, I should be at around 114 dB - 'loud' is 105 dB. So you can see, realistically I'm not losing anything with the small amp.

This is a very impressive sub. period. it's also an amazing value. You'd be hard pressed to find a comparable powered sub for anywhere near $350. Advertisers trying to sell you higher powered systems are just trying to steal your hard earned dollars!
