Add thrilling low-frequency effects to your home cinema experience!
The Dayton Audio SUB series-powered subwoofer systems are the perfect addition to any home theater system. These powered subs feature a bottom-firing, flared port, bass-reflex design for reduced port noise and increased bass response. They also utilize a long-throw woofer to product house-shaking power.
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. These compact subs are finished in an unobtrusive black vinyl that will complement any decor.
Onboard connectivity makes this an easy-to-add and easy-to-adjust solution
1. Line Level Inputs The line level inputs are used to connect pre-put 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.

I’m very impressed with this sub. I have been involved in hometheater since 1999. I started out klipsch subwoofer then moved to paradigm. I currently own 6 svs subs over two homes. I needed an inexpensive sub for my bedroom to connect to my zvox soundbase. I wanted something small to place inside my ikea kallax cabinet. I compared this to $300 kanto8 sub. Even though the Dayton has a small amp, it was able to creat impactful deep bass for its modest size . It is best for small to median size rooms. Ive also have experience with the polk -pw10. It’s a good sub, but is more “boomy†then the Dayton. Build quality is also excellent. The cabinet is very solid. I can’t imagine how much better this sub could be with a bigger amp. This was the best purchase for $123. For anyone on a budget this is the best sub.

I really like the sound of the sub in my small workshop. Works well with my WiiM Amp.

Best of its Class. Outstanding sound!I researched online for an affordable unit to get even more bass to my Zbox SB500 sound bar so i decided to research a subwofer and found the Dayton Audio SUB-800 8-Inch 80 Watt Powered for $99.95 so i added it. Once hooked it to the TV headphone with the wire that came from the soundbar, set Gain and Crossover at 3/4 you won't believe these two units combined how great music or movie listening experience you get, very satisfied and at 3/4 of Sono's price.Pro: sound.Cons: does not come with aBasics 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter Audio Stereo Cable. No remote control that you can use.As for the Zbox SB500 sound bar I was amazed by the quality of the sound. The price so much affordable than the Sono's option, so i decided to give it a try. Once at home I installed it on top of the TV and the sound is incredible. Volume TV at 8, and Blue Ray or Netflix at 11. The bass is incredible. For best sound quality I set up accuvoice at sd3, output leveling at noOL, bass 3. Treble HI 2, surround to sd 3. Sound is Crystal clear, bass is outstanding, beyond expectations. 3D sound is a plus, can hear sounds with this bar I did not hear with my previous sound system when watching the same moviesYou wont be dissapointed.You yube videos is like being at the concert.Try these units, and watch movies in Netflix. Sound is Great!Your living Room will never be the same!

Sound quality is nice, the build quality is good, and the price is good. I do have one issue, though. There is a three-position switch allowing you to turn this on, off, or put it into automatic mode where it will turn on when it senses a signal. But the automatic mode is not very sensitive, and it often does not turn on as expected. Maybe that's less of a problem if you listen at very high volumes with a proportionately louder bass signal, but it is an issue for me. I end up turning it on and off manually, which is a bit of a hassle.

This sub is working well in a small listening area paired with a pair of Pyle 6.5†bookshelf speakers powered by a Sony STR-DH190 stereo receiver.

I never understood the people saying this speaker doesn't go deep enough, or can't fill a large room. Those people are spoiled $1000 sub audiophiles. If you are a normal person, who wants deep thundering bass for a cheap price hear me out.The bass THUNDERS. It's SO deep I have to turn the volume down to nearly nothing at night so it doesn't disturb the neighbors. When I turn the gain up more then 3/4ths of the way (on low volume) I feel like my head is gearing to explode. It's so deep it feels like you're at a concert. Audiophiles are too picky man, unless you're trying to fill a massive room, you don't need the 1200. You don't need the 1000. This thing is a monster, it's like a foot tall, and the driver is 8". I came from a 4" sub I didn't know it could GET this massive or deep.Along with being powerful, the sound quality you get for your money is unparalleled. I like to turn my speakers off sometimes and just listen to how detailed and tight the bass is. It's not boomy, there's no rattling noises, it's tight and clear, and adds depth to your music/show/game whatever. I've had subs before that sound boxy, artificial or fake, that is not the case. This thing is the real deal.

This subwoofer is a perfect companion to our soundbar. Low bass is not boomy like some of the bigger subs. This one retains detail in the lows that is more realistic.

Solid wood like design box.Speaker looks cool. I did a frequency sweep to get it paired well with my little Peachtree Audio M24x Powered Speakers.The auto power option doesn’t seem to work when using a single connection, so I just leave the sub woofer on which is fine.

I just received my Dayton Audio Sub-800 last evening. It was dbbl boxed with thick styrofoam forprotection. A nice touch. No nitpicking from me either. The sound is superb after playing it at low volume.It is much smaller than my Polk PSW-10 but blows it away. I am very impressed and happy.I have it mated to Polk S20 bookshelf speakers on standa as my mains in a 2.0 sytem. My amp is a YamahaA301-S 2-channel integrated with 60x2 watts. my main music source is cd and I havr a Denon DCD 600NEcd player. I love the sound as do my friends. My sub is well broken in & goes even deeper. I plan to buyanother one in 2022. Love the look & sound. Best sub out there for the money. Thanks Dayton Audio.

I'm not well equipped to judge the quality of a subwoofer as I don't have anything to directly compare with, but to my ears, the Dayton Audio SUB-800 sounds great, as professional audio reviewers have written numerous times. I'm pairing mine with the pair of Audioengine HD3s I have on my computer desk which are great speakers but light on the low frequencies. Adding the SUB-800 fills out the sound very nicely and adds punch to electronic music, making basslines sound much more engaging and immersive without being overly thumpy or rumbly (if properly adjusted).I think the unit looks attractive and understated with a flat top and only a small logo on the front (not really removable as it's held in with pins in two holes) and a removable cover that velcros on. There is sufficient audio adjustment with a 40-140Hz crossover dial, a volume knob, and a phase toggle switch. High level input and output are available, as well as stereo or mono RCA inputs.Using the RCA passthrough outputs on the Audioengine HD3 works fine with the SUB-800, but there is a minor issue - the auto-on feature of the SUB-800 is *not even close* to being sensitive enough, and with my HD3s you have to play music quite loud before it detects a signal. In my case, it's well above my typical listening level - especially since I'm in a condo building and would rather not have my neighbours knocking on the door.I understand that Dayton Audio was probably trying to avoid the speaker mistakenly activating on any transient noises or hum that might be going through the speaker, but the auto-on feature needs to be far more sensitive than it is to be useful. It might be nice if it were adjustable so you could set it to turn on at very low volumes.Fortunately, as long as you're not too worried about the power this will use, you can just leave the power switch on at all times and it works fine, but this issue is the primary reason this speaker isn't getting five stars from me.For the price, I think the Dayton Audio SUB-800 is a wonderful complement to a nice set of stereo speakers. It may be a bit overkill for the typical computer desktop, but I'm glad I got this as it makes my Audioengine HD3s sound a lot better for the types of music I listen to.
