Explore the fundamentals of low-frequency reproduction. Dayton Reference Series loudspeakers have gained an enormous following and respect among speaker builders and audiophiles. After listening to an assembled RS1200 kit, it's easy to hear why! The system is built around the popular and powerful 12" RSS315HF-4 subwoofer, combined with the Dayton HPSA500 subwoofer amplifier—one of the most technologically advanced sub amps available. Even in the most demanding application, this designed and engineered in the U.S.A. system delivers high-excursion sub-bass uncolored by extraneous resonances or mechanical noise. Dayton Audio's low-distortion Reference Series driver produces deep, musical low frequency output with maximum fidelity, even when called upon to recreate the explosive dynamics demanded by realistic home theater playback. The 500 watt onboard amplifier provides the horsepower needed for optimum performance in any room environment. Of course, the Dayton Reference Series RS1200 kit will save you money, but the best part is being able to say to your family and friends, "I did it myself!" Also available fully assembled. Specifications: *12" subwoofer *500 watt amplifier *Frequency range: 25 - 180 Hz *Adjustable 40 - 180 Hz low-pass filter *LFE and line-level inputs *Auto-on *Dimensions: 17" H x 17" W x 17-1/4" D.
  • Dayton Reference Series legendary ultra-low-distortion subwoofer
  • Adjustable volume, crossover frequency, bandwidth and more
  • Clean, detailed bass down to 25 Hz
  • The perfect project for the audio enthusiast in you!
  • Dimensions: 17" W x 17" H x 17-1/4" D
The RS1200 kit is a plug-and-play package that contains all necessary hardware, and requires about an hour's time along with basic assembly skills. The enclosure is pre-drilled and cut for the amplifier and driver, and pre-finished in a durable textured matte black enamel. Floor spikes are included.

Very pleased.
Saturday, December 6, 2008
Mark Ford from Terre Haute, IN  

I shopped carefully and found this to be a very good value. I'm using this with Ohm Walsh2 speakers and a McIntosh MC2200 with my computer as the audio source. I'm still playing with the equalizer a little, and it is very flexible and musical. I'm a jazz/blues bass player and I appreciate the low distortion of this subwoofer. I always prefer accurate bass versus loud bass, and this sub really extends the lower octaves very cleanly. No mud here. I listen to a lot of pipe organ music with this sub. Yes's "The Ladder" comes through very nicely. I can hear new detail in recordings I thought I knew well. Assembly was straightforward and everything fit perfectly and works flawlessly. Beware of the weight of this box when lifting, it's solid and heavy. Thanks for offering this kit!

Not happy with product

Alex T from Houston, Texas  

I had rattles coming from the amp when the sub was being driven. I probably should have opened up the amp to isolate them. The amp looks cheap, but it seems to do the job. The bass was still deep from the testing I did. I returned this product because I couldn't get it to mix well with music (my fronts are B&W 604 S3's). This product would probably work well for its intended use (home theater). Powerful. I've searched for good powered subwoofers for years. I'm still happiest with my Velodyne VA 1210.

Great sub kit
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Parts Express Customer from Unknown Location  

This is a very nice kit. I'm really happy with the purchase. Fantastic driver, well build box with professional looking finish, and full featured plate amp. I added 1 lb of stuffing to lower the Qtc which provides a slightly deeper bass response. Bass is deep and very clean. Highly recommended.
