This plug-and-play subwoofer delivers deep bass down to 25-30Hz, offering audiophile-level performance at an accessible price point. ## Description The Dayton Audio SUB series-powered subwoofer systems are the perfect addition to any home theater system. These powered subs feature a bottom-firing, flared port, bass-reflex design for reduced port noise and increased bass response. They also utilize a long-throw woofer to produce house-shaking power. The amplifier features high and low-level inputs and high-level outputs, a phase switch, independent volume control, an auto on/off switch (activated by an input signal) and a variable 12 dB electronic low pass filter. These compact subs are finished in an unobtrusive black vinyl that will complement any decor. 1. Line Level Inputs The line level inputs are used to connect pre-put or preamplifier outputs directly to the subwoofer amplifier's internal crossover. These inputs are summed to mono. This is the preferred way to connect the subwoofer amplifier. If you have a mono line level signal from a "Pro-Logic" or "Dolby Digital" receiver use the right "red" input. Note: If a LFE mono output is connected, set the crossover point to maximum. 2. High Level Inputs If preamplifier outputs are not available, use the high-level (speaker) inputs. The speaker level inputs can be connected directly to the amplifier by inserting the speaker wire. 3. High Level Outputs There are also high level outputs which can be used to connect to main speakers or to another powered subwoofer with high level inputs. Note: High level outputs are paralleled to the high level inputs with no high pass filter. 4. Crossover Frequency Control Continuously variable from 40 Hz at 12 dB/octave. Set the frequency control to where the audio does not sound "muddy", normally between 60-80 Hz. Note: If a LFE mono output is connected set the crossover point to maximum. 5. Gain Control Adjusts the output level of the subwoofer. Set the level to where the bass frequencies blend with the other speakers. Note: Most people have a tendency to set the level too high, which makes the audio sound "boomy". 6. Phase Switch Selectable between 0° and 180°. This assists subwoofer placement. The correct position will be the one that provides the most apparent bass output. 7. Power Switch (Auto On/Off) When the power is in the auto position, the amplifier will automatically turn on when a signal is present. Note: In auto/off mode, the power on LED is always on (red), even when amp is in rest mode (off). The power LED will turn green when the unit is activated. The Dayton Audio SUB series powered subwoofer system is capable of delivering realistic, room-shaking home theater bass effects—even in larger rooms. ## Features - Downward-firing flared port design for clean, powerful bass - Selectable "Auto-on" mode - Heavy duty long-throw 12" woofer - Perfect for small home theaters or listening rooms - Unobtrusive, textured black vinyl finish complements any decor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Additional Features | Bass Boost, Stereo Pairing | | Antenna Location | Volume | | Asin | B00669L3HS | | Audio Driver Size | 12 inches | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Mono | | Best Sellers Rank | #182,551 in Electronics (See Top 100 in Electronics) #339 in Home Audio Subwoofers | | Brand | Dayton Audio | | Built In Media | Speaker | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Television, Projector, Laptop, MP3 Player | | Compatible With Vehicle Type | Car | | Connectivity Protocol | RCA | | Connectivity Technology | RCA | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Button | | Customer Package Type | Not Flat Free Package | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (359) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Enclosure Material | Wood | | Frequency Response | 140 hertz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00844632094118 | | Impedance | 4 ohm | | Input Voltage | 110 volts | | Is Waterproof | FALSE | | Item Dimensions D X W X H | 17.75"D x 16.68"W x 16.75"H | | Item Weight | 32.9 pounds | | Manufacturer | Dayton Audio | | Model Name | SUB-1200 | | Model Number | SUB-1200 | | Mounting Type | Floor Standing | | Number Of Audio Channels | 1 | | Number Of Circuits | 1 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Power Levels | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Speaker Maximum Output Power | 80 watts | | Speaker Size | 12 inches | | Speaker Type | Subwoofer | | Specific Uses For Product | home theater systems, music listening, low-frequency audio applications | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Subwoofer Diameter | 12 inches | | Upc | 844632094118 | | Warranty Description | 5 Years | | Warranty Type | Full | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | No Wireless Communication Technology | | Woofer Diameter | 12 inches | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Mono - **Brand:** Dayton Audio - **Connectivity Technology:** RCA - **Input Voltage:** 110 Volts - **Speaker Maximum Output Power:** 80 Watts ## Images ![Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" Powered Subwoofer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GtE0RwpiL.jpg) ![Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" Powered Subwoofer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811zWRyQfRL.jpg) ![Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" Powered Subwoofer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eUvG64z9L.jpg) ![Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" Powered Subwoofer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l9v1jH8jL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: A reviewer says the AUTO on/off does NOT work. Is it a defective unit or does this work? This is a key feature for me.** A: The auto on/off works just fine on both of my Dayton SUB-1200 subs. Once a low frequency signal is sent through the LFE into the sub it turns on. They do seems to turn back off a little too soon but its not too bad. I would have to say it seems like a couple minutes of no audio they turn off. **Q: How does this sub woofer sound with music - I'm not interested in "booming" home theater explosions, but rather a clear, well-defined bass?** A: I'm a boomer using this sub with a 90's vintage Yamaha 45w/ch receiver (I specifically chose this sub because of how easy it is to hook up to a vintage amp) and I find I can adjust it with the gain control of the back of the sub to make it work with whatever kind of music I happen to be playing. I turn it up just a little past half way for pop and hip hop, and just a little less on the gain and crossover for rock and jazz. I like the way my system (Yamaha RX-360, Rotel TT with Shure cartridge, and Boston Acoustics A-100 floor standing speakers) sounds with it so much I think it would probably cost at least twice as much to replace it with a better speaker. **Q: Is the woofer on the bottom or the front. The pictures show the woofer on the front, but the description says, "downward firing".** A: The woofer fires to the front. It's the port that is downward firing. **Q: My music listening room is (i think) 10x12 feet. how is this sub for music listening? should i opt for something like the sub-1000 instead?** A: The 1200 will be more than adequate for that room size. In fact you will probably not even get close to turning it up full tilt. I run mine between 1/2 and 3/4 Gain. With the frequency around 90hz depending on what im listening to music wise or watching video wise. Im quite sure my neighbors in the house next door can here my sub-woofer at times. So if you are in a condo or apt, you will have the gain turned down much more. Or if maybe you dont give a hoot, its a sure thing you will get a knock on the door and it might be the police (been there done that-LOL) ## Frequently Bought Together - Dayton Audio SUB-1200 12" 120 Watt Powered Subwoofer (12 Inch) - NEUMI BS5 Passive Bookshelf Speakers, 5-Inch Woofer, 1-Inch Tweeter, Dark Wood, 1 Pair - NEUMI CS5 Center Channel Speaker, Dual 5-Inch Woofers, 1-Inch Tweeter, Dark Wood, Single --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/68410108-dayton-audio-sub-1200-12-powered-subwoofer](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/68410108-dayton-audio-sub-1200-12-powered-subwoofer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
