PrestonTom Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Edit : November 14th: The subwoofer is now sold Edit Oct 15th: It turns out this still available. In order for a quick sale it is now discounted to $60. Ignore the other prices listed below. ------------------- Is it time to build a subwoofer cabinet? Of course it is !! This is a lightly used 15 inch Dayton Audio sub woofer. (driver only, no cabinet). It can be used in a 3 cu ft box for a F3 of about 37Hz (sealed cabinet) or in a 9 cu ft box for a F3 of 21Hz (vented box). These sell at Parts Express for about $250, I will sell it for $125 (a 50% discount). https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/126/rss390hf-4-15-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm If you want to get lazy, and we all do sometimes, Parts Express also sells a box made specifically made for this woofer (includes the baffle cutout for the driver). It is currently packaged in a cardboard carton that is 18 x 18 x 12 and weighs 36lb. I checked USPS and UPS and the cost is prohibitive, so this is pick up only. As of 10/27/23 ................. I may change my mind on this and be willing to ship. My zip is 06365-8617. I'll let you figure out the cost. Keep in mind that UPS always figures out a way to increase the cost a bit when you actually take it to the UPS store. I am located in SE Connecticut (06365). (2 hours from Boston or NYC and 1 hour from Hartford CT, Providence RI, or New Haven CT). They are not currently in a cabinet, but i'm happy to run a test tone through the unit when you pick them up to verify that it works and there are no rattles. Thanks for looking, -Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassell Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 That's a great price! That driver is an excellent choice for Bill Fitzmaurice THT subwoofers too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iteachstem Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 These are decent drivers, especially for the price! I run two of these in 3cu.ft. sealed cabinets paired with RF-7II's for my music system with very good results. (Driven by a crown K1... they need a little power to get going.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Sometimes a bump is in order ....... Repeat after me ....... I must buy this, I must buy this, I must ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Another bump Slow down and think about it. Parts Express actually has pre-made boxes for this specific driver (follow the links in the original post) if that makes it easier for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 If I lived closer, these would already be in my possession! Unfortunately, shipping is always the deal killer! These play well with Klipsch speakers, filling in the bottom end very nicely. Someone buy these, you won't be disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
