Whoowee! Shake the floor!
Thursday, February 25, 2010
Beep from Marysville, WA  

I bought a dbx 15" subwoofer 15 years ago, and it worked fine until I pushed it a little too hard. Replaced it with a Pyle Pro, and it's been rattling for too long. Replaced that with the Dayton, and boy, howdy, does it rock! I'm using an old BGW 250-D to power this and it DOES shake the floor. This is the best subwoofer speaker I've had hooked up to my system. It compliments my Klipschorns very nicely. Novies are the best thru this subwoofer. I own and run P.A. systems, so I'm not a novice at this. This is the subwoofer to buy!

In use since 2002
Saturday, January 9, 2010
JH from Atl, GA  

I've had one of these in use since 2002. I mounted it inside an 18" sonotube built to a volume of 260L and tuned to 17hz. I use a Dayton 250w plate amp. It has been used behind a screen wall in a custom home cinema that is 14'x26'. I bought a second DVC on sale for $99. These are the best bang for the buck around even at regular price.

Bought 2 - These Subs Sound Amazing
Saturday, September 19, 2009
Parts Express Customer from Northeast USA  

Dropped two of these DVC into the pre-made Dayton 15" sub boxes with an SA240 mounted on back of each box to power the DVCs.......to say that these DVCs hit hard is an understatement. Exceeded expectations on all counts! I use them primarily for music at concert level sound but they more than hold their own in home theater situations.
