Hi guys and gals,
I am looking for a sub and had the oppurtunity to audition the Velo Impact 12 and CHT-10Q recently.
My HT consists of
Source a;PS3 Slim
Display : Pana 50" plasma HD ready
AVR : Onktyo 607
Front Infinity Primus 250,
Centre Infinity C25
Surround Infinity Minuette
Rear surround : Monitor Audio Studio 20.
My listening area is 14 ft x 21 ft x 8 ft. The ceiling is actually has twi heights. The front half is about 10 whilst the rear half is about 8 ft high
Opens on the front right half, to the dining area. The right rear half is a solid wall.
This opening has a 2 piece glass partition with a 3 ft gap for walking through.

Has any one had the chance to listen to an Infinity sub PS212?
It is a 12" 400watts RMS box, ported.
Power wise , it is more than the two Velo's and the freq response rivals even the CHT12.
Price wise is more or less equals the Impact 12
Any suggestions where one can audition this in KL/PJ area?
My budget is RM2500/-
I know power does not equal quality but my medium sized hall needs some serious oomph to bring out the lows.
Thanks a bunch !

I just bought a new SVS PC-12NSD and it is GREAT!!!
I have it placed in the front left corner of my hall, next to the left main speaker.
I am contemplating using my old Infinity RS10 sub in the other corner using the second sub preout of my avr. The reason being it's too old and frayed physically at the top corner edges to be sold and storing it seems such a waste, as it's still running well.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
If i do decide to use it, any advise on how to set it up to integrate it with my SVS.

Thanks for the referral, anfieldude.
The subwoofer has been sold to a nice gentleman from Teluk Intan.

Pray tell where can one buy the dsp3400 for RM3.3K?
Can pm me the place if it's not proper to disclose that here.

Can you set up dual 12NSD for me to audition?

Let me know when the PC12-NSD arrives.

Poison poison poison
I too dun have a sealed room for my system.
Living hall opening up to the dining area which in turn leads to the kitchen. Plus a stairway that leads from dining area to the upper floor.
I always feel the low freq but miss out the slam in the chest effect of the mid bass.
Hope a dual will help ease my sickness a bit.

Welcome back Max....and the poisoning continues

Was watching New Daughter (Kevin Costner) last night.
Does anyone else feel the LFE is pretty good in this movie?
At 1hr 37 min, when he went down into the mound, there is a sustained LF pressure for about 3 mins.
Could feel my eardrums being pressurized...It is not loud but sustained.
I have new found respect for my entry level PC-12 ...it didn't have the proper environment to shine previously.

Added on December 30, 2010, 10:34 amFor front height effects, does one have to activate the IIz on the avr ?
Ifl running at 5.1 True HD or DTS-HDMA, will it utilize the front height ?
Does it need disc with encoded front height info for the effects to be heard?

How much will shipping cost be to W. Malaysia?

Last week, during one lunch time, I had a quickie visit to a shop near where I was having lunch in Pandan Indah.
He had a 18" Kaino sub hooked up with a 12" JBL DSP250.
Played a clip from Eli, the assault at the old couple's house where they had the gattlin machine gun.
Man, the thump in the chest was insane..boomy as expected but I think with better EQ can be reduced
Aside from it's industrial look, anyone ever contemplated going down this route. Combining one for it insane mid-bass power with the LFE extension of SVS/Rhythmic...etc

you can drop by yourself if you are in the area.
It is in a 1st floor lot, over a unisex salon.
You can call him for an audition. Joseph 016-215 3744
Be prepared tho as his place is very cluttered and messy, as he does a lot of installs for HT.
Just go and feel THE FORCE !!

Tune the X'over to 10Hz above the lower freq response of the bookself.
If hooked to an avr with equilizer/audyssey,/YPAO/MACC, let the avr do the calibration, then set to 80Hz at the avr.
In these cases, either turn the freq to max or enable the cross=over defeat switch on the sub itself

Try both and see which sounds better.
Let your ears be the judge.
I will go for the 75 Hz first.

It's like going for a round with mike tyson !!!
Yes, it is chest thumping and will bring out your lunch.
The 15 ins 400 watts rms is <2K.
Problem is to convince HM to have one in the hall. It certainly difficult to blend with decor.

So how did it go?
What x'over point did you settle on?

You must turn down the gain on the subwoofer and rerun audyssey again.
Are you using both the sub pre-out from the 608 and connected to the left and Right RCA inputs?
This will give a increased gain. Try using just one output.
Try and achieve -3dB to 0 at the avr setting.

I am planning to run two dedicated power lines for my subwoofer and power amplifier.
Can anyone suggest a suitable gauge for the cables or would any standard cable suffice?
I am running a 5.2 system with dual subs.

Currently, one power point is powering my subwoofer, 5 channel power amp, Dune Base 3.0 and avr.
The pre-amp is also powering my surround speakers whilst the power amp is powering my center channel and bi-amped front speakers.

The other sub is drawing power from another separate phase power point. It is sharing with the plasma TV and Astro decoder. I think it has enough juice as the other components do not draw that much current.

During dynamic loud passages, I think the LFE is being starved of juice.

Denon 3808 :Dynamic Power 2 ch: 140 watts x 2 : 280
Anthem PVA 5 Max power output : 1125
SVS PC-12_NSD DSP : 400 watts RMS
Dune Base 3.0 : ??

Total : 1,805 watts.
So i am still within the max of 3120.
Am I correct or did I use the wrong figures?

1805 /240 = 7.52 amps
