Dayton Audio Reference 18" With Dual Passive Radiator Subwoofer Kit

Using Dayton Audio's incredible RSS460HO-4 18" driver with two of the matching RSS460-PR 18" passive radiators, this imposing subwoofer kit is not for the faint of heart. Capable of over 115 dB of output and unassisted response to 20 Hz and lower, this subwoofer kit is a great match for some of the largest music and home theater systems. With plenty of output capability to shake your home's foundation (and possibly your neighbor's) this kit is sure to impress anyone on the quest for more bass. This subwoofer is not just about output, with triple shorting rings, extensive venting, and a rigid aluminum cone, the RSS460HO-4 18" driver is known for its remarkably low distortion characteristics. Also, by using dual passive radiators the low frequency extension has been extended while keeping group delay through the audible range remarkably low to deliver a quick and responsive punch you wouldn't expect from a subwoofer this size. Finally, the included CNC-cut knock-down enclosure is constructed of thoroughly braced 18 mm MDF with a double thickness 36 mm front baffle.
