Overview

Dayton Audio RSS315HO-4 12" Reference Series HO Subwoofer 4 Ohm

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. A durable aramid fiber spider and extensive venting throughout provide quiet and uniform excursion. The black anodized cone, rubber surround, and custom basket give this driver a unique, high-end look. Choose the high output version for automotive applications or for equalized high-power home subwoofers.

The Dayton Audio RSS315HO-4 is used in the following kits:

Powered Dayton Audio Reference 12" Subwoofer Kit with Dual Passive Radiators & 500 Watt DSP Plate Amp

For high output and low extension, this 500 watt 12" subwoofer kit is an excellent choice. Thanks to the passive radiator assisted design, this subwoofer is just a 16" cube, but can match the output capability of much larger designs. In addition, the included Dayton Audio SPA500DSP 500 watt amplifier provides plenty of power, but more importantly, the customizable on board DSP provides flexibility and control you will not find on any other subwoofer in this price range.
