Dayton Audio DC200-8 8" Classic Woofer

I was looking for a new driver for rebuilding a Jensen JS 800 sub that I have had for 20 years. I wanted to rebuild it because it is an acoustic suspension woofer, meaning it is a sealed box without any ports. I have had good luck with buying products from Dayton Audio in the past (drivers, amplifiers), so I felt good about this one. It has a large magnet and a good, sturdy paper cone, and the connectors worked very well. I took out the old driver and pulled the lightweight foam from the inside of the cabinet. The cabinet is not too thick or reinforced so I added some Siless damping sheets (a type of Spanish Lo-Rez) inside of the (3) walls and the top and I reattached the foam to this and then added about 60% poly fill inside the cabinet. I connected the speaker wires and bolted the Dayton driver in place which lined up correctly with the existing (4) holes. After the rebuild the sub is producing a good sound that is deep for it's size and not boomy at all, and has no distortion. I have it in a nearfield setup with my gaming/desktop PC. I am very happy with the performance.

Super happy, using for pincab. Rattles the floor and scares the cats.

Bought these through Amazon because Parts Express charges tax and a ton for shipping. Drop in fit and improvement for my pawn shop 3-ways I bought. Here is what I found.PROS: Strong and deep bass. Fo resonance at 29Hz is about right. I removed my external subwoofer box because these go deep and loud enough. Very smooth response and reactive to input. Excellent for direct replacement in any 8" configurationCONS: Lowish SPL rating. Power handling is average, but better then OEM. Moves a lot of air in ported configuration...may cause a "huffing" sound when off-axis. No where near subwoofer power handling and performance...but, sounds goodCONCLUSION: A steal at their price and above average performance for replacing just about any stock 8" woofer.

Excellent value, good quallity OEM style replacement with better surround, structure and good performance. It's not a super high quality woofer like a Vifa or a Peerless, but a better woofer than most original equipment 8" woofers, by far.

Is a great Replacement to my 2-Boston Acoustic 8” !!! 🔊 !! 🔊 !

When I received the Dayton Audio DC200-8 8" Classic Woofers, I found they were carefully packed against any potential shipping damage. Taking them out of the box, it took me about 10 minutes to replace each of my 40-year-old woofers whose paper cones had long since disintegrated. Once they were replaced< I had my wife start a movie she had been watching earlier in the day. She was astonished at the difference. She commented on being able to easily hear the deep soft cello notes that she hadn't been able to hear previously. As a musician, she was immediately taken by the speakers and the clear crisp sound they produced. From my perspective, the speakers were super easy to install and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the screw holes or anything else. The sound is so much better than the old speakers, I can't remember when these old speakers sounded so good. The price was considered very reasonable. If I had to do it again, I'd chose these woofers.

It fits perfect on my Bose 601 series, and clear sound.

I called the vendor before purchasing these, the technical support person mentioned that there may be some minor modification required to fit the opening of an existing speaker cabinet hole diameter. That was the case with my situation but only a minor amount of grinding some wood (with a Dremel tool) along the circumference of the hole was required to ensure a great fit. It was relatively easy to do. These woofer speakers were a replacement for a pair of $600 Philips speakers from 1995. I'm very pleased with the sound of these replacement woofers, I can't really hear any difference in quality from the original woofers. Great low bass response, even at low volumes. I'm driving these with a NAD preamp and Adcom power amp (60 watt) and they can handle higher volumes very well, although most of my listening is at lower levels. I can't imagine anyone being dissatisfied with these woofers, they provide great sound at a great price.

40年経ったオンキョー製スピーカーのウーファーがボロボロだったので、交換しました。音質の良し悪しはよくわかりませんが、手頃な価格でそれなりに鳴ってます。満足してます。

Two speakers received in time. But disappointing that, one speaker has serious issue with it's coil is seriously rubbing on magnet. I can feel it by pushing gently the cone paper. Other one is ok. What to do

onesti woofer da 8 pollici

40年以上前のスピーカーを使っていましたが、音がビビるので「Dayton Audio DC200-8 クラシックシリーズ 20cm ウーファー 8Ω」に取り替えました、結果は上々です音がクリヤーで前と比べものなりませんでした、40年前のと比較ではあたり前かもしれませんが満足しています。

手持ちのブックシェルフ型SPに追加のウーファー（自作エンクロージャー）として購入しました。低音の量感不足が解消されて満足しています。音の輪郭は多少ぼやけますが、そこは次の課題として、現時点では期待どうりの結果が得られたと思います。価格の割には十分な性能のユニットだと思います。
