Recieve/hooked up my Dayton Titanic MK III 15" sub today. My 1st thought was wow... what a meaty HT sub. Overall its a very clean looking speaker and for the price seems to be a great product.

I installed it into my 3.9cuft tuned to 33hz (before sub disp) box and it sounds pretty damn good. Ive only had around 10-20 min of solid listening but its extremely accurate and has a pretty good punch. I have it running off my Zapco DC 750.2 amp so its seeing around 800rms @ 4ohm.

Full review by the end of the week... pics up within the hour.

looks nice.. 33hertz? thats kinda high for that driver from what i quickly googled.

Wait, your running a primarily HT sub in a car?
Talk about Car audio going full circle. I bet most of us older folks started out with old home speaker cabinets thrown in the trunk with a 40 watt power boster.
I know i did.

Lol I found it! In my box of dusty relics of ignorance from years ago. It was an Optimus model not Realistic. I also found a pos Pyramid EQ I used back in my teens. Yeah that was 20 years ago. Don't rub it in.


I would post pics but that would tarnish Jake's thread of actually fine equipment. Nobody wants to see 20 year old junk anyway.


Do they?

Marc i just tossed it in my old Axis box which was already tuned to 33hz. Ill be making a HT box for it in the spring.

The sub sounds very good so far and keeps a pretty flat dB from 30-60hz. Not many peaks so far..

Bumping at home is as rewarding if not more so than in your car. Why?

1. No gas money.
2. The ability to take a dump whenever you want and not miss a beat.
3. Sub placement.




Yeah I'm the old fug.

Very nice Jake. I was planning on using the same subwoofer for my HT room setup as well. Let me know how you like it when you get it in a HT setup. And if you don't mind sharing box specs for the HT box you'll be making that'll be nice also :-).

Sweet lookin' sub man! I have been wanting to get into HT for a while now.

4. Can't get busted for open container in your house.

At first listen it seemed to have a weaker low end... But after an hour of listening it's extremely accurate on low bass notes. When my ears think low end they think Revo, Axis, havoc... but this sub hits every note as those subs, just not at as high dB. I acutally think it might hit lower than the Axis in the same box but at a much much lower dB.

One thing i have noticed is the sub doesn't have a crazy amount of excursion. It moves pretty good but i wish i could throw another 500rms on it.

Upper end is solid and hits drum notes very very well. It rolls off pretty well with my mids but i need to toss the eq in and pick up the 60-85hz a few dB for everything to be equal.

You could do some sq/sql damage with 3-4 off these off 3kw...

The Dayton is a very good all around driver that often gets over looked.
