Product details

Dayton Audio 18" Reference Series HO Subwoofer and Cabinet Bundle

The Dayton Audio Reference Series subwoofers take the quality and performance of the much-acclaimed RS line into the subwoofer realm. As with the rest of the Reference Series, the main focus of these subwoofers is ultra-low-distortion. Second, third, and intermodulation distortion are kept extremely low by utilizing three short-circuit paths within the motor structure.

This particular cabinet is designed specifically for the Dayton Audio 18" Reference Series High Output subwoofer. The sealed enclosure design creates a subwoofer system with a Qtc of 0.644 and an f3 of 40 Hz when used with the Dayton Audio RSS460HO-4 and minimal fill.

During the CNC manufacturing process, rabbets dadoes are cut into the back panel for precise panel alignment. A unique three-piece brace adds superior rigidity without affecting the subwoofer's performance. Both side panels feature 18 mm rabbeted extensions with recesses to perfectly install the first piece of the two-part, double-thick baffle. Plate amplifier installation is made easy by following the scribed interior guide with a jig saw and by modifying one of the braces.

The end result is a resonance-free, sealed subwoofer cabinet that is purpose-built to extract the best performance from Dayton Audio's 18" High Output Reference Series subwoofer. All that's left to do is finish it to match your décor or paint it to stand out. When your friends ask about it, you get the pleasure of saying, "I built it myself!"

The products of this premium DIY audio brand are produced in North America, Europe, and Asia. Dayton Audio products have received acclaim worldwide throughout the years and are often compared favourably to similar items costing far more.

Dayton Audio woofers

The dominant component in a majority of loudspeaker designs, woofers are responsible for much of a system's tone and character. Don't underestimate this cornerstone element—Dayton Audio has the perfect woofer for every application and budget. Discover some of Dayton’s high-quality audio woofers, such as the popular Dayton Audio Ultimax UM18-22 from the powerful Ultimax Series, the Dayton Audio RSS390HF-4 featuring ultra-low distortion or check out the never-failing Dayton Audio PS95-8 full-range woofer.

Tweeters from Dayton Audio

Although they are the smallest driver in most loudspeakers, tweeters play an important role in our auditory information perception. Clarity, articulation, imaging—Dayton Audio tweeters make your speaker system come alive! Discover the immense popular Dayton Audio air motion tweeters and dome tweeters! Dayton Audio tweeters, such as the Dayton Audio AMTPRO-4, provide ultra-clean, detailed, and dynamic treble output.

Dayton Audio Drivers by Series

Dayton Audio has created a comprehensive selection of speaker components for every application and budget, all of which you can find at Nonsolospeakers. Find some of the Dayton audio most popular driver series below.

Dayton Audio Reference Series

Dayton Audio's Reference Series is dedicated to the pursuit of supreme low-distortion high fidelity audio reproduction. The Dayton Audio Reference RS100-4 for example comes with a rigid yet lightweight anodized aluminium cone, enhanced motors with distortion-reducing devices, and carefully optimized T/S parameters result in accuracy and detail that are second to none.

Dayton Audio Designer Series

The Designer Series by Dayton Audio was developed specifically with the speaker designer in mind. It is an affordable, attractive line of drivers that puts performance first. Careful engineering ensures that the Dayton Audio DS135-8 5" Designer Series Woofer can handle full rated power at the lowest possible frequencies—without exceeding Xmax. The series combines useful performance parameters with elegant style.

Dayton Audio Ultimax Series

Most low-frequency drivers smear, distort, or alter their input waveform. Ultimax DVC subwoofers by Dayton Audio, such as the Dayton Audio UM12-22 woofer, sweep a higher volume of air while preventing false, deceptive reproduction. They are designed to deliver powerful low-end response from modest-sized enclosures.

The Dayton Audio B652-AIR 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker with AMT Tweeter Pair, for example, are known for their pleated ribbon diaphragm AMT tweeters that add an extra portion of smoothness to the already overall great sound experience.
