Our verdict

The SUB-1000L's slim tower cabinet solves a floor-space problem more than it delivers maximum bass output, given its modest 80 watt amplifier.

Overview

The Dayton Audio SUB-1000L pairs an 80 watt amplifier with a 10 inch driver in a floor-standing cabinet that connects via RCA. It measures 15.75 x 25 x 6 inches and weighs 11.64 pounds, a slimmer footprint than a typical box-shaped subwoofer.

The L in the model name lines up with its slim, tower-style cabinet dimensions rather than the squarer box shape most subwoofers use, which matters for anyone trying to fit low end into a narrow spot beside furniture or a TV stand.

  • 10 inch driver, 80 watt amplifier
  • Slim floor-standing cabinet
  • RCA input
  • Black finish

Who it's for

Suits a home theater or stereo setup where floor space is tight and a slim tower subwoofer fits better than a cube-shaped box. Less suited to anyone chasing very high output, given the modest 80 watt amplifier.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Slim floor-standing cabinet saves floor space
  • 10 inch driver for dedicated low end
  • Simple RCA hookup
Cons
  • 80 watt amplifier is modest for a 10 inch driver
  • Floor-standing only, no other mounting option listed

Performance notes

An RCA line-level input feeds the built-in 80 watt amplifier, a common setup for adding a dedicated subwoofer to an existing stereo or AV receiver without running speaker-level cable.
