  1. IB - Infinite Baffle Subwoofer Build Projects
    Hi All! I’m new to the forum, and I’ve been contemplating building an IB for some time. I currently have two Dayton Audio 12” reference subwoofers in sealed enclosures that I built about three years ago. They’ve definitely treated me well. I recently moved into a new house with a nice large...

    Hello this is my first actual post to this forum so my apologies if any errors are made. I've been designing my first diy sub enclosure for 2 Dayton ultimax 18s and just want some feedback from anyone with experience.

    I'm working on a small home theater and I want to tackle the subs. I've got spouse approval for dual subs if I keep them small, so I'm thinking ~1 cut ft sealed with some DSP. Keeping in mind that for me smaller is better... am I better off with two HO 12's or two Ultimax 10's? I havent settled...

    I need to replace one driver, and the Dayton is being considered. My NHT 1259 is having some minor voice coil issues, and we will replace it rather than repair. Does anyone have experience with this 12" driver from Dayton? My cabinet is HUGE, at 4.2 cubic feet. Sealed enclosure. We may add a...
  6. Home Audio Subwoofers
    I'm accumulating info on home subs to go with my main system. It's NOT a HT rig, it's going to be used for music only. The speakers (currently being refurbed by the factory) are a pair of Magneplanar Tympani 1C, which will be bi-amped. I'm in a relatively small room in terms of volume; it's...

    I have a living room that had a really cheap Samsung sound bar that we picked up with a gift card a few years back. But I have always wanted to design and build a soundbar from scratch. So recently I did just that. Goal: Is to have a soundbar that sounds great and is compact for most living...

    Any suggestions to (un)stuck it? I have a Dayton Audio subwoofer amplifier SA230 that I purchased refurbished from Parts Express in Sept. 2016. I had it powering (2) Aura bass shakers (50 WPC) at the most in my home theater. It never got hot or showed any signs of dying. The only thing I did...

  14. Home Audio Subwoofers
    Please forgive me... I have sinned and broken all the rules. I know not what I'm doing. I purchased several weeks back a pair of Dayton 12" subs for the ridiculous price of $160 for BOTH after reading Jmans excellent review. They sound very good and I'm very pleased with them as they are...

    I am building this pair of sealed subs for a friend. Sadly, it appears that the Dayton DVC385-88 has been discontinued. I aimed for a usable internal volume of about 3 cubic feet. I cut most of the parts and decided to glue two panels from scraps to use for the Inner Baffle layer. Here...

    I normally get great advice on this forum so just wondering if anyone has tried these and can offer some advice on which will be a better option. I would think the Velodyne will have higher quality parts although its rated to not play as low as the Dayton. This is for a small room like 9.5' x...
