Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" 120 Watt Powered Subwoofer
Add thrilling low-frequency effects to your home cinema experience
The Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" powered subwoofer system is the perfect addition to any home theater system. This powered sub features a bottom-firing, flared port, bass reflex design for reduced port noise and increased bass response. It also utilizes a long-throw 12" woofer and up to 120 watts of house-shaking power.
Onboard connectivity makes this an easy-to-add and easy-to-adjust solution
The amplifier features high and low level inputs and high level outputs, a phase switch, independent volume control, an auto on/off switch (activated by an input signal) and a variable 12 dB electronic low pass filter. This compact sub is finished in an unobtrusive black vinyl that will complement any décor.
1. Line Level Inputs
The line level inputs are used to connect pre-out or preamplifier outputs directly to the subwoofer amplifier's internal crossover. These inputs are summed to mono. This is the preferred way to connect the subwoofer amplifier. If you have a mono line level signal from a "Pro-Logic" or "Dolby Digital" receiver use the right "red" input. Note: If a LFE mono output is connected, set the crossover point to maximum.
2. High Level Inputs
If preamplifier outputs are not available, use the high-level (speaker) inputs. The speaker level inputs can be connected directly to the amplifier by inserting the speaker wire.
3. High Level Outputs
There are also high level outputs which can be used to connect to main speakers or to another powered subwoofer with high level inputs. Note: High level outputs are paralleled to the high level inputs with no high pass filter.
4. Crossover Frequency Control
Continuously variable from 40 Hz at 12 dB/octave. Set the frequency control to where the audio does not sound "muddy", normally between 60-80 Hz. Note: If a LFE mono output is connected set the crossover point to maximum.
5. Gain Control
Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Set the level to where the bass frequencies blend with the other speakers. Note: Most people have a tendency to set the level too high, which makes the audio sound "boomy".
6. Phase Switch
Selectable between 0° and 180°. This assists subwoofer placement. The correct position will be the one that provides the most apparent bass output.
7. Power Switch (Auto On/Off)
When the power is in the auto position, the amplifier will automatically turn on when a signal is present. Note: In auto/off mode, the power on LED is always on (red), even when amp is in rest mode (off). The power LED will turn green when the unit is activated.
Sub Placement
The SUB Series Subwoofer Systems will produce more bass when they are placed in a corner. Choose a corner that is close to the component area and place the sub at the front of the listening area.
If you need a little more control over the way your sub sounds, consider adding DSP and acoustic treatment.

Great value and sound. Get it!
"I replaced a sub that came with a theater in a box sound system. It was the last speaker of that kit I changed out and what a difference it has made. This is deep and tight. What was booming and muddy now has smooth way down sound and theater effects are more impressive with out a thin rattle of the smaller sub I replaced.
Best value speaker I have purchased in a long time. Controls are as expected and work well. The fit and finish is fine for this price point and after all this is not out where you look at it. You will not be disappointed with this sub." - Ron S.

I'm not a high-end audiophile - but do mix music for a living. And this thing is great for 90 of the people wanting a nice sound system for their home. I've owned sony Klipsch subs, and this thing holds its own to both. I would highly recommend this sub...

This Sub-woofer sounds great! Much better than I expected for the money. I will note it's quite a bit bigger than I anticipated - measure your space. But I'd buy this again without hesitation. The sound quality works well on all the bass inputs I've tried: electric bass, double bass viol, organ. My room is not huge (12 x 15) and it fits perfectly.

This woofer pounds pretty good for under $200. Not as heavy as my Polk, but as long as the amp doesn't die like Polk's did every 3 years this bad boy will be well worth the purchase.

This is my second one of these, one upstairs and one downstairs. It's a great sub for the money and it can rattle the windows if your a bass-head (I'm not but at normal levels it performs really well!). If you're in the marked and this falls into your budget, it's worth a try.
