Dayton SWC-3 3.0 ft³ Subwoofer Cabinet

I have 4 of these. I TOTALLY agree with the above review that they need more bracing. I also used 2x4's in every direction, as they did, along with blocks on the seems, everywhere I could fit them. I used Gorilla glue, which worked very well, but sloppy. They are well finished, and once "beefed" up, make SUPERB cabinets! Don't be lazy, do as I and the other user did, BEEF UP the cabinets. You'll never get clean bass with them vibrating every pulse of the beat.
I used TC Sounds DVC(superb quality) 15" Aluminum long throw drivers in these. I power each sub with a Citation 7.1 amp in bridged mode. Over 1000W per sub, with ULTRA high current. I use 2 for home theater, and 1 for music(crossed over low) to my 7.2 Gallo ref 3.1 system(Lexicon electronics). When the 2 subs are going during movies, it sounds, and even more, FEELS, like GOD just stepped into the room. For music, the bass is tight and controlled.
Anyways, with the modifications mentioned, which I think are mandatory, GET these cabinets. They save A LOT of work from building from scratch.

A well made box to start your next sub project with. The description could have been better but I found the box to be well constructed with heavy 3/4 MDF. It has one good cross brace in it. You will probably want to ad more bracing, like I did, to make it even better!

I used my box with a 15" Dayton RSS390HO driver, a Dayton 500 watt plate amp in a dual 3" outboard vented design, similar to an HSL type sub. This netted very good results for a fantastic low end of 25hz F3!! After a little more internal bracing, the box vibration was still relatively- low even at high power levels!

The shipped finish was nice, as was the grill frame and cloth. I finished my cabinet with a couple of protective coats of satin Polyurethane for an excellent final finish.

For the $$$ spent it saved valuuable time with minimal effort used to finish bracing the insides and fitting up the driver and plate amp! I would but this product again!

It is extremely well finished & better than I imagined given the price.

It CAN hold an 18" driver without using the grill. It probably requires active crossovers as 3cuft is too small for a good cabinet QTC.

You MUST use 2x4 bracing on 4 sides & even gluing pre-cut wooden squares on the insides is recommended as it is too thin a wood (3/4") for no boom in the cabinet.

Once braced, wood applied to naked insides & ported for a subwoofer, sealed for a mid/bass, it's really quite a deal.

Don't hesitate but remember bracing, adding mass to the walls & use wool or cotton damping as acrylics are transparent below 100hz or so. No acoustastuff either. Buy a cotton bale. Worth every penny acoustically.

Much cheaper than it should be. GREAT product.
