Dayton Audio SUB-1000 10" 100-Watt Power Subwoofer

Crazy deep bass, but adjustable for anyone's taste. Delivery was quick, packaging was sound. Very much enjoy it.

Para quienes buscamos iniciar en el mundo del audio, las numerosas opciones disponibles pueden ser intimidantes. Estoy en el proceso de armar un sistema 5.1 y decidí iniciar con un sistema 2.1 al cual se podrá agregar un canal central y dos envolventes en un futuro cercano. El Dayton Audio SUB-1000 fue una de las dos opciones iniciales después de un período de documentación e investigación (la otra era el Martin Logan Dynamo 300, pero los costos de importación y envío motivaron mi decisión). El sonido del equipo es muy bueno, incluso al 50-60% no tiene problemas para hacerse notar en una habitación de 5x6 metros, abierta en uno de los lados. El color y acabado hacen que a pesar de su tamaño destaque poco, aunque definitivamente no es un aparato discreto. Mención aparte merecen la rapidez del envío (varios días antes de la fecha programada) y las condiciones del equipo a su llegada (impecable, con empaque y documentación intactas).

Just unboxed and set up this BEAST. I am a total bass junkie...I gotta feel it, hear it, and not miss a single note. UNBOXING: - Dayton Audio, A+. Double boxed, barely no instructions, lots of foam, and care in packaging. - No Prime 2-day delivery. Parts Express always seems to charge too much for shipping. - Took the grill off and looked at woofer...holy moses, that is one beast of a subwoofer (thick surround, high excursion) SET-UP: - Easy peasey hook up. I am using my Harman/Kardon 3590 subwoofer RCA outputs (low level) Works perfectly. - Adjustments for volume and freq are very good. I was worried about the crossover not being parametric (dB drop off stuff). It is very high quality - The speaker hi and lo level connections are TOO SMALL - Placement - Looks great just about everywhere. SOUND: - I have a normal sized living room. This sub fills it with total ease. - I like having stuff hanging on the walls (pictures, clocks, wall hangings). However, this sub does NOT like them and will shake them off. - The bass is incredible, the quality spectacular, detail is there, EVERY note is there. - How loud will it go? Well, I cranked it up out of the box, everything in the house in every room shook. I "felt" every low freq note with a physical internal vibrato. Almost brain rattling in a way. For $128...you get A LOT of high quality bass and it will crack drywall, plaster, and make things fall off the wall - Absolutely no "huff and puff", no internal rattles, no weird air sounds like so many other subs. Just pure, clean low-low-low grunt, growling bass. CONCLUSION: - Best $128 I ever spent to round out my home entertainment center. This 10" powered sub with 100w is MORE than enough for about 99% of purchasers. It has the power, sound, and quality of a sub costing 3x as much. I am 47 and have heard some highly exotic stuff in my time. This Dayton Audio sub will "hit" and sounds excellent. Thank you Dayton Audio for making a great sub... UPDATE (6 Sep 2016) - I just "leave it on"...forget about setting the power switch to "Auto". No big deal. As for performance/sound...still amazed. One strange thing thought, my 9-year old large black male cat will lay in front of it and chill out. He loves the rumble or something. Did Dayton Audio infuse the subwoofer with catnip? I am ordering a second one for the bedroom. UPDATE (3 Jan 2017) - The sub is still in the same spot, however I laid it on it's side. The bottom of the sub is where the firing port is. Now (with it on it's side) the port is blowing off to the side. Neat trick! Played a movie today with lots of low frequencies and it really helped increase the experience. The "Auto" On still sucks...so, I leave it on. And lastly, if you use the speaker-level binding posts...they suck. Too small...already broke one messing around. Thankfully I don't use them. The speaker-level binding posts on my Polkaudio PSW10 sub are much better...and that sub has a front firing bass port. If I had to compare the two, the Dayton Audio has a better amplifier, speaker, and "overall" sound. However, the Polk does really well and sounds more natural...esp with the front firing port. It doesn't go quite as low as the Dayton Audio...but, it has a more "natural" low end response and feel. Think of it this way...each has about the same horsepower, but the Dayton Audio has more torque...and torque is king. Yet, the Polk has some class of it's own. UPDATE (May 1, 2018) - It's been a while running this monster. Still LOVE it. Since January, 2017's update, bought a SECOND one for my Vizio soundbar/HDTV system in the bedroom. It has Bluetooth and I paired with my Amazon Echo...the sound is AMAZING! Love this Dayton Audio 10" sub. Now, here is the kicker: I just upgraded my shop stereo system with a brand new Yamaha 5.1 Bluetooth receiver. It is a great sounding head unit...but, really miss/need my Dayton Audio subwoofer "growl". So, I bought ANOTHER one for the shop! I now have THREE of these! So, thanks Dayton Audio... UPDATE (May 24, 2018) - I own THREE now! The one in my garage/shop is hooked into my new Yamaha 5.1 Bluetooth receiver. I also have a Amazon Echo connected (Bluetooth) to this 2.1 system. The sound is crystal clear and the sound of the Dayton Audio is beastly. Garage acoustics are terrible...but was able to get really great sound and enough bass to rattle everything.

Aunque el acabado no es el mejor, sin duda es un aparato que cumple lo que debe y más. Suena de lujo (mejoró mi audio en casa)

Me complace informar después de cerca de 7 años que este subwoofer Dayton Audio sub-1000 25.4 cm sigue funcionando en excelentes condiciones de acústicos y desempeño electrónico. vibra con emocionantes frecuencias bajas en los momentos requeridos, tanto para la música con CDs como películas de netflix, aunque el mejor desempeño de este sub es en películas grabadas en Blu-ray , muy buen desempeño de bajas frecuencias con todo lo que ofrece spotify premium. lo tengo conectado en un receiver pioneer de 7.2 canales. Le califico con 4 estrellas por que el material exterior del mueble es muy sencillo y fácilmente se despule, y se raya la pintura.
