Is the DXS15mk3 worth it over a 12-inch sub?

If you need more output and can handle the weight, yes. A 12-inch sub is easier to carry but moves less air.

Does it work with non-Yamaha speakers?

Yes. It takes a standard line or speaker-level signal and has its own crossover, so it pairs with most powered tops.

Yamaha rates it down to about 40 Hz. It is strong in the punch range but not a sub-30 Hz specialist.

It is possible but awkward at roughly 82 lb. Most owners use two people or a cart.

The subwoofer and power cable. Cables for connecting to your tops are not included.

Yes. One unit suits small rooms; larger spaces usually need two.
