#12 Dayton Audio CS1000: $199.98 Estimated Amazon eBay
Same family: the Dayton Audio CS1200 (larger subwoofer, rated 4.1/5).
Pros: The 10” sibling of the measured Dayton Classic CS1200, with a mineral-filled polypropylene woofer, a 180W Class D amplifier and a cabinet vented at 39Hz. Dayton rates it to 28Hz and 109dB, and an optional wireless kit is available. It is one of the cheapest subwoofers from a line with measured results.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared directly with ranked subwoofers; the rating is estimated from the measured CS1200, which reached 119.0dB in the 40 to 80Hz CEA-2010 bands. With a smaller woofer and cabinet it should play several dB quieter.
