    <i>Disclaimer: Sub was provided by Dayton Audio for this video and test, but they had no input in the content and my opinions and statements are my honest takes of the product along with the scientific Amp Dyno Tests. The subwoofer will be returned to Dayton Audio and again, I do these videos and tests for you guys and love to find a product that exceeds my expectations or in this case &quot;blows me away&quot;. At times my enthusiasm could be mistaken for monetary gain, but my honesty, true feedback and rapport I have with my audience is far more important to me than any monetary gain.

    LOVE your style of a FULL REVIEW. All the tech specs anyone would want like me. NO fluff and stuff! I actually just purchased the CS1000 and the CS1200. Waiting for delivery. Can&apos;t wait to play these BAD BOYS! Saved big $ for sure. Performance that BEATS the higher price brands. Nice job Dayton!!

    I like the breakdowns you do. Real tests not just republishing specs.

    Dayton audio has some of the best home subwoofers. I was really impressed by the sound quality and durability and i even had a 12in dayton in the box hooked up in my car to a 200x4 Rockford fosgate prime amp and that thing pounded pretty good 😅 i think i paid only $30 for it off Craigslist back in 2018

    I purchased ones from one of your links. It was priced at 239. Can&apos;t beat the price for a 200 watt bass home theater sub. Cant wait!

    I wanna eat the silica gel! You never let me have any fun. On a more serious note, don&apos;t sleep on Dayton Audio.<br>I have Dayton&apos;s Reference series drivers in my car and it sounds pretty awesome.<br>RS180P-4 7&quot; midbass woofer<br>RST28A-4 1&quot; aluminum dome tweeters
