Well, I finally got my Dayton sub from partsexpress.com today...before I got it, I had a 50 watt Sony sub by the TV (CRT Flatscreen 38 SONY"), and a 75 watt Sony sub in the back behind the sofa. Both were not very powerful, so I really hadnt heard good sounding bass in my home theater.
I messed with the knobs of the Dayton II (which replaced the 50 watt sub by the TV), put in the mono sub cable and threw in U-571, Starship Troopers (superbit), Undercover Brother, Minority Report, and the Rundown.
U-571 (DTS)- WOW. I watched the depth charge scene with the volume up...let me tell you: I never appreciated this movie until now. The bass is amazing- so tight and loud. The grandfather clock in the other room started to clang and shake! Amazing.
Starship Troopers (DTS)- I put on the awesome abandoned outpost battle scene, as well as when the big beetle bug tunnels out of the dirt. Once again, the tight bass lends a huge amount of "weight" to the picture- awesome awesome awesome. You SVS owners out there must be in HT heaven! Shower scene also sounds nice.
Undercover Brother (DTS)- I chose this for the music in the beginning, as well as the final explosion. Once again the bass was tight sounding and fantastic.
Minority Report (DTS)- The awesome subaural gun scene. I played with some of the stuff on the sub, and made it sound even better. Cool.
The Rundown (DD 5.1)- I always liked DTS more, but the Rundown surprised me with the bass. Had to turn up the reciever a bit more, like always.
I cant wait to throw some more stuff at this sub! Tomorrow I will likely try Star Wars, T3, Pearl Harbor: Vista Series, Nemo...
The Dayton is an amazing sub for the price. I was planning on buying two, but one is MORE than enough. Highly recommended by a HT newbie
