Dayton Audio Titanic MK III Subwoofer

While the 15-inch driver and 1000-watt amplifier are designed to fill large spaces with visceral bass, the inclusion of a variable low-pass crossover and full parametric EQ allows you to tune the output to your specific room size. However, be aware that its physical footprint is significant, so ensure you have the floor space for a 19-inch cube before purchasing.

The subwoofer arrives fully assembled with the amplifier installed, so you only need to provide the appropriate RCA cable to connect it to your receiver's subwoofer or LFE output. It also includes black chrome spikes to decouple the cabinet from the floor, which helps tighten the bass response.

The built-in parametric EQ allows you to target and adjust specific frequency ranges, which is incredibly useful for smoothing out 'room modes'—those annoying peaks or dips in bass response caused by your room's dimensions. It gives you much more precise control over the sound profile than a standard volume or crossover knob.

The subwoofer features a signal-sensing circuit that automatically wakes the amplifier from standby mode when it detects an incoming audio signal. Once the signal stops for a set period, it will automatically power down to save energy.

Dayton Audio provides a 5-year warranty on the Titanic MK III driver and a 1-year warranty on the HPSA1000 amplifier.amplifier, reflecting the different lifespans of the mechanical and electronic components.
