help Dayton Audio SUB-12 FAQ
How large is the Dayton Audio SUB-12 woofer?
The SUB-12 uses a 12-inch low-frequency driver, which is why it can add substantial bass in a normal living room. Its cabinet is much larger than compact subwoofers such as the Dayton Audio SUB-1000.
Is the Dayton Audio SUB-12 powered?
Yes, the SUB-12 is an active subwoofer with its own built-in amplifier. It can be connected to a home-theater receiver or stereo system through a subwoofer output, subject to the receiver’s available connection.
Can the Dayton Audio SUB-12 be used with bookshelf speakers?
Yes. A subwoofer can handle deep bass while bookshelf speakers such as the JBL Studio 530 or ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 handle the midrange and treble. The receiver or preamp needs a suitable subwoofer output or bass-management connection.
Is the SUB-12 suitable for movies?
It can make movie effects and music sound fuller in a small or medium room, especially with bass-heavy scenes. It is a budget-oriented design, so buyers seeking reference-level output or very deep home-cinema bass may need a larger model.
