I'm looking for a budget sub for a small room 9x12x9.5 ft (~1000sq ft). Is CHT-10Q good enough? I'm particularly interested in the auto-EQ. But is it good and accurate? I auditioned the unit in AnL but the room was 3 times my room size and it was out of the box and not optimized yet. If there is anyone who owns this or the siblings, or even do the measurents please share your thoughts. I don't bother for musical performance, only the oomph for movies. Thank you.

Go for 12Q at least, 10Q IMHO is puny.

Initially i also thought of gettin the SPl1200 but after auditioning the 1000 and based on my room size (smaller than A&L by 1/4), i decided that the 1000 was good enough already..

1000sq ft ?
you need at least CHT 15Q

Calculation is wrong ler.. Sq Ft is width x length.. Dont include height... if your HT room 1000sqf can become cinema dy...

based on your room size it is adequate.... since u don't need a musical sub I feel the 10Q is a good fit. If want 'bias' professional advise, u can try the calculator in Velodyne's website

sorry dudes... I mean 1000cubic-ft If I have 1000sqft.. no need to ask... just bantai the biggest and meanest sub.

try the Velodyne CHT-10Q

go for 12Q la.

initially i also thought 10Q sudah cukup and after audit both at hifi shop, i straight away choose 12Q. i audited both 10Q and 12Q NIB and i found 10Q is "struggling". perhaps not proper setup kua...

it would great if you can audit both ... and use your ear and 'feeling' to decide

1000 sq ft is the size of my si-peh small apartment

Dont need try.. Hamtam only SPL series

wow !

please don't try to be a smartass here

Mr PM, what's the price of cheapest SPL series? I like the small size also. But I think the price is almost same as SVS SB12plus (as published unofficially by htkaki).

Dude whats wrong with that? My room size is quite similar and i'm gonna use a SPL also.. Anything wrong with that statement?

Based on the specs and price, if you want to get Velo 10R or 12R, better get SVS PB12NSD. Real sub can play quite flat down to 20hz. If SPL and above, then Velo would be a good choice due to the built in eq which is quite expensive to add on for other brand of sub. In the market the eq itself would worth min RM 1.5k and above.

Guys that is 1000 cubic feet as in volume, not 1000 square feet as in area.

Bro.. just go audition for 10Q, 12Q and SPL 1200 and just trust ur ear... I know that u r leaning towards Velo..

what's the different between Q series and R series?

Q is the newer series.. R takda dy, i think...

what's the latest price for 10Q and 12Q?

Q is the newer series n got 5 Band Auto EQ with 4 preset setting.
R series dun have the Auto EQ.. n hard to acquire nowadays

I got quoted the 12q for RM2700 @ AnL puchong by Rick 2 weeks ago..

wow! it's overprice for me... tought the price is 1k++.

RM1k i think u can get a seond hand 12R.. If i'm not wrong lightning69 wants to sell but i dont know if he still has it. Maybe you can PM him and see...

if 1K can get used 12-R

i dun mind to have 1 more biji at the back

10r oso cant get at 1k

You PM Lightning69 ler. He's selling.. Prob is its in Miri lol

how about 10Q? interested in it but dunno if it suitable with my 6 years old receiver.

I got no idea the price for 10Q. PM CT Seong your requirements and also your AVR model.. He can help

CHT-R series = with remote control. That's all

The Puchong branch izzit? Cuz the one I visited in Amcorp Mall says no installment plan available. Sure is damn poisonous..

This one you have to refer to A&L taukeh C.T. Seong

1. Amplifier ----- > Velodyne

2. Velodyne 12" output RCA to 10" subwoofer

Is it safe to daisy chained like that? What about using splitter?

mean that old subwoofer can still be use and make it 5.2?

I've auditioned in CMY 7.3 before..

! main sub, 1 Front LR sub and 1 sub for the rear surround..

Sounds great but price also excellent..

it's for rich ppl only

rich ppl can have 7.7 setup

each channel got its own sub

Lol.. 7.7 can bring down my neighbour's roof i think

Using more than one subwoofer is not the major problem nor is using 7 subwoofers. The difficulty is integrating them to sound as though they are one..

Trust me if u do not set up multiple subwoofers correctly, it is a mess.

moreover, all the .7 are SVS
super duper eilte

totally agree with you bro, more doesnt meant is better. sub also need to match with room size and the power feed to this hungry component..

Bro, 7.8 better nia.

It is not by using sub pre-out for all. The 7 subs are connected via high pass for each channel. In Spore, there is a setup similar to this. IIRC, all SVS Ultra subs.

fulalaa ... memang elite so the extra 1 sub pigi mana?

bottom of your sit

room already shaking, bottom of sit, wa~~~! ikut goyang oh~~~~! great idea~~~!

7 channel + .1 mah.

How do I setup a multi-sub system?

If you're setting up a multi-sub setup comprising of 6 subs - five main subs and one for the LFE, the best way to connect them is via a high level cable from the back of the 5 main speakers into the high level input of each sub situated next to the 5 speakers and a low level connection from the phono sub out on an AV amp to the low level input of the sub you've chosen to handle the LFE.

This setup is what we consider to be the ULTIMATE in Home Cinema experience. With the DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound formats , a full range signal is sent to all 5 channels, therefore they can all benefit from having a sub on them. You may be thinking MJ Acoustics must be mad to expect most people to be able to afford a setup like this, but no, we are not mad, with the award Pro 50 from just £299.00, its more affordable than you could ever imagine.

Other excellent configurations we recommend / suggest you try are:
2 sub setup - one sub on the LFE (low level) and one sub on the centre channel (high level).
2 sub setup - one sub on both left and right mains (high level), with one sub being fed the added LFE signal into its low level input.
3 sub setup - all front channels with a sub on left, right and centre (high level), with the centre sub being fed the added LFE signal into its low level input.
3 sub setup - one sub on LFE (low level), one sub on centre (high level) and one sub wired to the rear surround speakers (high level).
4 sub setup - all front channels with a sub on left, right and centre (high level), with the centre sub being fed the added LFE signal into its low level input and one sub on the rear surrounds (high level).
5 sub setup - one sub on all 5 speakers (high level), the centre sub being fed with the LFE signal (low level).

There are many other possibilities for multi-sub setups. Although just one of our subs will be the norm for most people, the luxury of a multi-sub setup far exceeds the Home Cinema experience

Use it as your footstool.

Last I heard 10Q price was 2.2 - 2.3k.

That would be quite the ultimate setup. Practically though there are 2 main challenges:

1) Space to distribute the subs to all the 5 or 7 locations. I see many multisub installations where they stack the subs all in front (either middle and L/R). But I think ideally is to co-locate the sub with the rest of the speakers.

2) Power points. Most people wouldn't have distributed power points all over the room. Of course, this can still be overcome using extension wires but may be unsightly.

For your room size I think 10Q might be enough, but if you want extra headroom then consider the 12Q. This is in case you like extra oomph for movies. The best is to audition both and come to your own conclusions.

The auto-EQ does work and helps to even out the bass some. In addition the Q series also has 4 presets including a 'movie' mode.

Thanks mate.

how much price differ between 10Q and 12Q?

I was quoted RM2200 vs RM2850 2 weeks ago.

10Q cheaper by RM50 the last time i bought 4 month ago 12Q still the same..

Anybody interested in 10R?

Why? You interested in upgrading to SVS?

saja tanya

yes I am interested.
ugpm.

Who interested in 12Q??

Taikor Ronn how much U wanna sell?

crazy lar this svs poison.... everybody selling their velo.

Eh, I thought you're Velo fan?

Velodyne is just a pit-stop of the journey. Need to move on to get to the destination.

haha this thread become sell velodyne thread..

if u all get SVS hor

make sure at least get the 12PLUS

forget the entry level

better still 1 time pain like htkaki taukeh mention.... 13PLUS

need to add white snake or not?

Boss, it is 13-Ultra Anyway, it is almost time to ditch your CHT-12R. My 12-Plus is waiting for you.

im also a yammy fan but using malaz

bro nsd is not that bad if properly setup.. ycs is very satisfied.. the performance is way way ahead those entry compact subs .. really need to take your time to setup.. the same goes for 13ultra

fuyooo 12-PLUS is knocking my door

Hi, it's me!

Due to my small living room, that's why I'm choosing between MS309 and Wharfy sw150 instead of velo
I believe the velo 10Q at RM2.2K is good enough. I can top up even RM600-RM800 for it from my previous budget 1.2k - 1.4k.
Just, I'm concerned that is this velo-10 suitable for my apartment where the living room size around 9x8 sqft??
Will it overbassy or louder that affected other people here?

I really need your comments as Im going for my new HT setup by next week.

How much is Wharfy SW150 now? I might wanna get rid of mine if Taikor Ronn wanna sell his 12Q.

hehe.. doing ur homework also?

then who wanna sell me his SPL1200 ultra?

Taikor Ronn U so elite U buy new one lah. Please leave all those used goods for us peasants.

TQ.

haha.. i'm no elite.. just dun mind having a lot of credit card debt.
