    bout a 30 dollar savings off a new one...$100 bucks would be an ok deal. I really dont know the quality of Dayton though. Good Luck.

    I've always heard pretty good things about the Dayton subs. They seem to have pretty positive reviews all around.

    Like Knucklehead said, offer him 100 dollars, and go from there. For 120 it still isn't that bad of a deal.

    I agree with Leroyjr1.

    But here's the link for that sub new and a few reviews. It's a lower end entry Dayton.

    I have never heard this sub, but it gets down to 25Hz. Not many subs below $500 get that low. If I were going to use this sub mostly for home theater, then I would jump on it. If mostly for music, I would save up for a better sub unless your music system is entry level.
