Dayton Audio IOSUB 10" IP66 Subwoofer 150 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms Impedance - Durable Weather-Resistant Indoor/Outdoor Speaker

I have this unit powered by a 200 watt fosi amp and this thing cranks. You have to remember when you are outdoors you don’t feel it the farther away you get from it so you need to plan your area correctly. I have 20’x 20’ area that it has no problems with. But if you have a larger area you will want add more to evenly distribute the base. I do this kind of work for a living and usually install outdoor subs that cost $2,000 for sub and amp and I pulled off the same thing a fraction. The fosi amp I am using is only $89 right now so this is a great value. Don’t forget to place this unit on a hard surface to get max output.

I didn't realize how much of a difference an outdoor sub would make until I installed this beast. I have 3 pairs of speakers in my back yard covering a 40'x45' (1800 sq ft) area, and while they sound fine there was very little base in the music. I installed this sub on our back porch near one of the corners of the yard, and the difference was instant. I am using a small subwoofer amp to drive it, and after tuning the sub volume I am very happy with the results! I am using an Echo Dot as the music source to a receiver that then feeds the speakers and output to the sub amplifier, and I can voice control the music and volume via the Echo Dot. Some audiophiles may snub their noses at that, but for an outdoor sound stage it works really well.The construction of the subwoofer is very solid, and it is smaller than I had envisioned. You could easily place it under a corner table of your patio furniture. Mine is under the roof of the porch so it is out of direct weather exposure, but it is within a foot of the edge so wind could easily push rain onto it. I feel confident that it will last a long time and provide years of enjoyment to our backyard listening experience. I definitely recommend this subwoofer!

First of all, this is not a powered subwoofer as described. You can’t switch from powered to passive. There is no built in amplifier. That’s all a lie!Now, with that out of the way, let’s get to the sub. It is immaculately made. Clean, beautiful lines and grooves add a certain panache to this down-firing sub. It’s only 12“ tall and connects to your amp via a pair of sheathed wires. The bass is smooth, deep, mellow a perfect companion to the Polk Atriums on the deck. There are two mounting holes to screw the sub onto the deck and, in addition, there’s a built- in eyebolt to which you can attach a cable or lock. An excellent sub that delivers the bass at a decent price.There was no need to lie and add features it doesn’t have. It makes a statement all by itself without the deceptive advertising.

I’ve got this on my pool deck, on acoustic pads to eliminate vibration. Wonderful sound.

I bought two of these. Back yard sounded great, but one of them blew and locked up. Bought a different brand to replace it.

I bought this sub back in 2019 and delayed a review until I could fully assess product durability. It is powered a Dayton Audio SA2320 Amp and used in a 18' x 30' patio - so it s not on all the time nor does it get the same workout that would come from use in a home theater passive sub. Before I committed to this sub I looked at several - Niles sub (as it was buried underground), the OSD (both above and below ground), Monoprice, and few of the "Rock" subs. For the record, my main outdoor speakers are a pair of Niles (over 10 years going now) and I really wanted to go with a Niles sub. But after hours of pouring over specs, reviews etc. I finally landed on the Dayton Audio. I love it - does everything I had hoped for, is small enough to not be obtrusive, and delivers the low end that my mains can't.Highly recommend - would definitely buy again.**UPDATE** - it is now 2022 and it is back in the patio still kickin' it!

This little puppy can sure push out the low end with ease. I only wish it came in white so that the sun wouldn't make it so hot on the patio. I had to buy a small table to sit over top of it to keep it out of direct sun. I was afraid it would overheat and deform something. It was so hot to the touch that it was reading 135 degrees in the sun with my infrared reader.Solidly built, no buzzing or creaking while it's in use. Using a ParaSound Amp to drive it with ease. It is replacing a 12" Pyle from the 90's that was built into the wall that finally gave out.

Connected it to a Denon DRA-800H with a Fosi Audio M03 200 Watt TPA3255 Subwoofer Amplifier Mini Mono Channel Audio Power Amp and it thumps. Both adjustment nobs on the mini amp are turned all the way up and it's enough to make the sub sound great. Works well enough for my backyard sound system.
