The Dayton Audio SUB-1500 is great for people who value good bass sound. Dayton Audio SUB-1500 vs Dayton Audio SUB-1200 has 150 W nominal power, SUB-1200 has 120 W. The wide frequency range of the crossover (from 40 Hz to 140 Hz) allows you to make it an integral part of any audio system.

SUB-1500 looks pretty big, it has 15-inch driver size. Rigid construction eliminates any vibration. Case Dayton Audio SUB-1500 is made of MDF. On the rear panel are all the input ports that you may need: RCA LFE inputs, stereo line-level RCA inputs, and 2 speaker inputs and outputs.

Dayton Audio SUB-1200 review

Dayton Audio SUB-1200 has 12-inch driver size vs Dayton Audio SUB-1500 – 15”. Holds a 30-hour range and a target of 25 before it falls. The ports are made well, so they guarantee a perfect connection with other devices and you won't hear any noise.

The subwoofer has a great unobtrusive textured black vinyl finish. You should understand that this device is relatively heavy and large. The front grille can be detached. The weight is over 46 pounds, so you should keep this in mind before buying it.
