DAYTONAUDIO DC160-8 6-1/2" Classic Woofer

Obviously, this driver is designed to go into a cabinet and when put into a 15/16 litre box with some bracing, a decent tweeter and a well designed crossover, this is a very impressive unit. It is quite surprising how much solid bass you can get out of a relatively small ported box.If you are looking to build a pair of speakers that isn't going to break the bank and want something that is going to out perform the majority of commercial units, then this is the way to go.Have a look at Paul Carmody's Classix 2 - do a Google search for Paul Carmody.

Great if you know the difference between a subwoofer and a woofer

Really good you get what you pay for performs well and does have some decent low air resonance bass to it that is quite like a subwoofer doesn't shake the house but definitely rattles the windows

ウーハーに本商品DC160-8、スコーカーにFOSTEX FE83En（FOSTEX フォステクス 8cmコーン型・フルレンジ　1本 FE83EN）、ツィーターにPyramid TW44（Pyramid 25mmヘビーデューティーチタンスーパービュレットツィーター(2個)）で3WAYで使用しました。DC160-8とFE83Enがともに88dBなのでバランス良く鳴ります。フルレンジFE83En一発との違いは当然ですが、DC160-8の再生周波数レンジが33〜4kHzなこともあり、25kHzのパイプオルガンが必要な曲を除けば、大抵の音源に対応可能に成りました。箱はダイトーボイスのSV-16/145Φがジャストサイズです。もう少し大きい箱なら重低音も可能かもしれません。私の場合、重低音は別に所有しているサブウーハーを併用して対応することで部屋の占有スペースを節約しています。日本の平均的住環境であれば、88dBぐらいでバランス良く鳴るほうが夜間にも安心して使用できるので便利です。低域の性能はJBL製品より優秀なぐらいですし、どうしても大口径を欲しい方でなければ、多くの方が満足できる製品だと思います。

Lo suficientemente potente para un audio en casa pequeño, buenos materiales de contrucción. Genial y prácticopara armar tus propios balfes. buen producto en general.

Bought this as a replacement for my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 subwoofer as the surround had deteriorated after years of use. All my comments below are regarding this use case.As others have mentioned, for this application, it fits in the cabinet perfectly; the mounting holes line up, and you will have to adjust the connector coming off one of the leads from the amplifier to accommodate the tab on the speaker. No big deal - I had a kit of spade connectors at home, and it was a 30-second fix to change it out.Note you do not need to remove the amplifier from the back of the enclosure - simply remove the 4 screews holding in the old driver and you have all the access you need.The speaker grille no longer fits on the subwoofer driver though as this speaker has a slightly smaller mounting frame. It does not affect the operation of the subwoofer at all, it just makes it look a bit less pretty as well as it does not have any protection over the front of the speaker. Most subwoofers like this will be in low traffic areas anyway so not a big deal.The woofer sounds great, but if I had any complaint for this use case - is that you can't turn up the subwoofer level as high as I could with the OE driver - I have to keep the subwoofer level well below the white mark on the control panel if I'm listening at any kind of serious volume lever - otherwise you can hear the subwoofer reaching the extent of it's travel.Overall, for 35 bucsk to get the subwoofer back online is a great bargain and I'd buy it again.

First tried gluing a replacement foam surround on the original Klipsch woofer after it crumbled and it just didn't work out. It's a messy job, tricky to line everything up while glue dries much too fast, etc. Ordering this affordable speaker just a little more than the cost of the kit was SO much easier.It looks very well made and a great value. There's plenty of bass response and I don't even feel the need to turn the bass dial up more than halfway.Just a few notes:- Screw mounts line up perfectly and you can use the original screws- One of the connectors is a difference size then Klipsch, you can crimp on a new connector to the original wiring- To save some time and effort I just attached the original narrow crimped connector sideways so it grips the edge of the speaker's connector. Added some tight electrical tape around it and it seems to be holding fine- If you notice any buzzing after installation, check for air gaps in the case. Use silicone, etc to seal them air tight.- The original grill wont stay put, I've left mine open but you can probably use some shims + glue to make it work.
