This unique monaural subwoofer amplifier delivers the raw power of a pro-sound amp, but with the features and flexibility of a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. It can be configured for stacking with other audio components, and includes removable ears for mounting in standard audio racks (2RU). A Class-AB amplifier configuration provides the SA1000 with clean and controlled output. From an application standpoint, the SA1000s low frequency parametric EQ enables you to boost or cut to custom-tailor the sound to suit the listening environment. Sophisticated soft clip circuitry provides cleaner transient peaks while protecting your driver from over-excursion. The amps switchable subsonic filter removes subsonic information from the signal, which tightens the low end response of some subwoofer systems. On-board bass boost filters enhance LF performance while leaving the parametric EQ function available to address room modes, like cutting an excessively loud room resonance. The high-pass outputs provide a user the option to feed the signal back into their other audio components or a distributed audio system. Manual, automatic on/off or triggered 12V input modes allow easy integration into automated systems. The stealthy pop-out knobs on the front panel make adjustments easy, while minimizing the risk of accidental disturbance. The SA1000s subdued brushed black aluminum faceplate allows the amp to blend cosmetically with any type of audio gear. Accommodates RCA line-level inputs, includes insulated binding posts for the speaker outputs, and accepts a 12V trigger via a 3.5 mm mini- jack.

    • Perfect amp for Buttkickers!
My Buttkicker amp died. I needed a replacement. The Buttkicker company no longer makes amps but recommended this one. All the features (low pass filter, high pass filter, EQ functions) work perfectly for any subwoofer, or in my case a Buttkicker which requires the exact same amp technology even though it is not a speaker. If you are not familiar with them, they are shakers for a couch or chair, and make the apparent sound level greater (while actually making no sound at all) by increasing the low frequency effects. I have one Buttkicker LFE amp on each of four home theater chairs. Each requires "500-1500 amps" of amplifier. I bought two Dayton 1000 amplifiers to power the 4 Buttkicker LFEs and used a RCA splitter to divide the subwoofer signal to both. Works frigging awesome! Only problem is the amplifiers have a ridiculously powerful power LED. With two amps, there is a blue sheen on the home theater screen 14' away that is obvious on dark scenes. Ridiculous. I put some black duct tape on some wax paper, then used a circle punch to cut out a circle for each amplifier. Peeled off the wax paper and stuck them over the power LEDs. Still plenty bright, no kidding. But at least it doesn't light up the room. My only concern is that the cooling vents on the lower amplifier are right underneath the intake for the amplifier above. The legs are only like a centimeter tall. I am going to add something to lift the upper amp higher to assist with cooling. I have not measured the temperature in use, but think for Buttkicker amplifier it shouldn't be a big deal as the subwoofer soundtrack typically only triggers the Buttkickers like 1% of the time. Others have complained that these amps get super hot with music. The Buttkickers let you shake the people instead of the house. I have dual SVS PB3000 subwoofers that can shake the house no problem. But turn them down a little, turn up the Dayton 1000 Buttkicker amps a little, and save your ears. The effect is the same or better and noone gets a headache. Wife acceptance factor improved. Now its like your subwoofer goes down to 1Hz even though it is 18Hz typically in real life. For example, the cannon broadsides in Master and Commander will have you crying for your momma and hiding behind the couch. The thunder at the beginning of Open Range is more dramatic than real life. And a hundred more examples. When I first bought the Buttkickers (4 of them, one each for 4 home theater recliners) it came with a single 1000 watt amplifier, for 250 watts per Buttkicker LFE when the recommendation is 500-1500 watts per Buttkicker LFE. It was not impressive, more seemed kind of like annoying and I didn't use it often, as it didn't seem realistic, was more like you were being dragged down a gravel road. Now with twice the power with dual Dayton 1000 amps, and 500 watts per chair, the Buttkickers actually are much LESS noticeable. Or maybe it is the better crossover of the Dayton amps. It used to be they were on or off. Now they blend in more (ie more variable response) with what is happening on the screen which improves the whole experience. My new Dayton amps have made a obvious improvement to my home theater. Highly recommended despite the ridiculously bright power LEDs. Wow! ... show more

    • Does Not Produce Rated Power
The Good: Adjustable crossover and the parametric EQ functions The Bad: NOT 1000W RMS I have two 12" Kicker L7 subs with dual 2ohm voice coils in a custom 4.2 cubic foot enclosure (2.1 per sub) for home use. I was running the subs at 4ohms per channel on an old Pioneer 2X50RMS amp for a total of 100W. Sounded fine, but I had to take it easy on the amp as it ran hot due to being wired at 4ohms instead of the rated 8ohms. I figured it was time for an upgrade, so I purchased the Dayton Audio SA1000. 1000 watts should be a big upgrade right? Wrong!!! When I first hooked it up I wired all four coils in series for a total of 8 ohms. In this configuration the SA1000 should put out about 500W RMS. I turned it on, turned it up... and it was pathetic. Sounded like maybe 50 watts. I thought maybe I had flipped the polarity of a coil or something... nope. Everything was connected correctly. Turn everything to the right and watch the clip indicator stay lit most of the time... no power, no ommph, no boom. The 12's connected to the surround sound receiver were louder than the dedicated subs. So I rewired the subs using only one coil per sub in series for a total of 4 ohms. The amp should produce 1000 wats RMS in this configuration, more power than the two coils combined would be (275 watts RMS per coil). That would be a lot of power, and in theory it should be twice as loud as the old pioneer. But this amp doesn't make 1000 watts. I spent a few hours switching back and forth between the two amps. Playing the same tracks, test tones, and frequency sweeps. The clipping indicator on the SA1000 starts flashing at about the same listening volume as the Pioneer would start to audibly clip. The SA1000 starts audibly clipping at just a tad over where the Pioneer would play before clipping. So, maybe 300 watts RMS??? Disappointing. I have not hooked up the oscilloscope or clamped the amp to see what kind of power it is really making. But there is no way it is making 1000Watts. I should have gone with some low line pro audio equipment rated in the 1500-2000W range. Would have got more power per dollar. I do like the adjustable crossover and the parametric EQ functions. Allows me to put more of the available power on lower frequencies. The amp runs cool, even with the clipping indicator blinking with the beat the amp never gets hot. But the rated power is just not there. ... show more

    • Good but make sure you know what you’re getting
I purchased to power two buttkicker lfes but soon discovered this was not possible. The problem is despite this amp having two speaker terminals, internally they are wired as parallel so if you run each terminal to a 4ohm buttkicker you end up with 2 ohms of resistance which isn’t enough. And if you run them in series you get 8 ohms which reduces the total power output of the amp to 450 watts or 225 per buttkicker and you need at least 400 -1500. Good news is the amp has enough adjustments that it makes tuning the one kicker possible and I underestimated how much 1000 watts to a single kicker would suffice. I wish the documentation had been clearer so I had realized it couldn’t handle two 4ohm subs @ 1000 watts but for the price I’ll probably just end up buying a second one too. Also as other reviewers have stated the blue light is obnoxious but for me it’s a non issue with it being setup in the back of my theater and not near the screen. ... show more
