Bronze Member Username: PbdrPost Number: 52 Registered: Apr-05 | You might add the Wharfedale Powerecube 10" to the list. You can pick one up for $250 if you look on the web (free shipping and nice people from a place called big bang electronics). I got one recently and really like it, nice and tight. |

Silver Member Username: TpizzlePost Number: 307 Registered: Apr-05 | alright thanks. ive heard pretty good things about the Dayton, suprising its so cheap. the main thing is that whatever i get doesnt have distortion, i cant stand distortion. and i like a sub that can hit low frequencies. is the Dayton know for having these? also i assume you would recommend the 12"? the HSU STF-2 is a bit more expensive but would it be worth the extra $, ive heard good things about it also. |

Gold Member Username: Paul_ohstbucksPost Number: 2157 Registered: Jan-05 | I'd suggest you buy nothing until you save enough money to buy a better sub. |
|
Silver Member Username: TpizzlePost Number: 310 Registered: Apr-05 | ya thats what im thinkin. but for the price is the Dayton a good deal. it sounds like it can hit lows and has some bass to it. is it known for not having much distortion? |
|
Gold Member Username: Paul_ohstbucksPost Number: 2160 Registered: Jan-05 | If you want to settle for a cheapo sub, then by all means, the decision is yours. You get what you pay for. I recommend saving a little longer...... I wouldnt consider anything in that market. If you can afford $300....surely you can save a little longer and get something better. Afterall....you'll always have it. Have patience........ |

I've never heard any of them complain about distortion, just that the Dayton does HT well and music not as well. |

allen robertson Unregistered guest | Outlaw audio has a new sub they are selling for $300. Their first sub, the LFM-2, was an absolute killer, check out reviews of that one with a Google search. I expect the new smaller one to be great also.http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/lfm2.html |
|
allen robertson Unregistered guest | Ooops. The LFM-1 was the first sub and the LFM-2 is the newest one. |
|
allen robertson Unregistered guest | It is actually probably easier to follow the links to reviews of the LFM-1 on the OUTLAW AUDIO site.http://www.outlawaudio.com/reviews/reviews_lfm1.html |
