There is nothing better than finding an absolute steal in speakers. Especially when it comes to a subwoofer that can actually perform. To put it bluntly, this is a gem! For only $350, you will never beat the price to performance ratio.
Typically, when you purchase a subwoofer, or any speaker for that matter, you are paying for much more than just parts. Brand name, construction, advertising, and dealer markup just to name a few. With the Dayton 10" Titanic Mk III Subwoofer Kit, you are getting a $140 driver, a $199 amplifier, a very stout 3/4" MDF cabinet complete with all the nuts and bolts (it even comes pre-drilled and routed), a finished grille, and some really heavy duty spikes! The website offers deals on the sub all the time, sometimes even including free shipping! For a package weight totalling 64 lbs, that is a substantial amount of savings.
So wait, your telling me I can purchase a great driver and amplifier, and pretty much get everything else free to complete an excellent sounding subwoofer? Yes, yes, and yes! Not only does this subwoofer extend down to the upper 20Hz region, it is also an extremely fast sub, meaning it recovers very fast from each "note". This makes it not only a great movie sub, but also an excellent musical sub. It's hard enough trying to find a sub which can do the job of both, and at this price range... well, let's just say I've never heard one.
But wait, there's a catch. It doesn't come put together. I know what some of you are thinking. There is not way you could put this together and it actually ends up working. Well folks, I purchased one a few months ago, and believe it or not, it was actually quite simple. The instructions were great, and being that there is one square hole and one round hole, it's kind of hard to screw that up! I actually had a blast putting it together. In one hour, you can construct a great sounding subwoofer and actually call it yours. Plus, if you have kids, they will also have a great time helping you on this little project. To make it even more of an incentive, the finished version of the same subwoofer adds on an extra $150 to the tab. For an hour of labor, they must have attorneys building these subs at their factory!
So now it's time to present a review of this product by a professional. I would like to add one little note though. There has been an update since this review. The instructions have been updated and the T-nuts he had a problem with are now pre-assembled and work flawlessly.
Alright, now that you have read the review and are really interested in getting this great sub, here is an easy link to order it. Happy rumbling!
