I'm still very afraid of my 10R. Never pass 50% of the volume. How could you live with that....and that is a really honest question. I bet that thing will scare shit out of me...or could shattered my glass sliding door

Its super cool by the way. Congrats on your purchase

How to use SPL meter? Looks interesting. Any guide around? I want to get one from ebay leh...20 bucks only

callmevil, thanks for the instruction dude
Easy enuf to understand without getting onky manual

Its ok bro. I already downloaded the manual

Sure.... 10%+ 15%

That's the one la bro

Sure bro no prob

Radioshack nice but analog. I prefer digital

The tax is for me as a service charge

Time for SVS?

Giving the size of that thing....sending back broken item to them for replacement will break you for sure

Cool....but still like htkaki I don't think I want all the hassle unless I can have some macha do for me

Dude...not possible la to get SR-SW for only RM100++ especially from CMY. Must be different model.

I use this one. The Y adapter already built into the cable.

You can use this for Y adapter.

Using Y connector will give you up to 3db more. I don't think you even notice but its there so why not use it. Plus even the manual also encourage you to use it. Won't cost you arm and leg

eBay bro. See a few post back I gave the link to the eBay store. That one is longer. Mine only 4.5m and cost me USD63 with shipping.

Bro the Y splitter is on the sub side and not amp. Your amp will still output whatever it can whether you use Y splitter or not. If you use Y adapter on the amp side (like the one from Audioquest), you'll need 2 cables to utilize the sub stereo input. Either way, the latter surely will cost you more money

Taken from Velo manual...
"If using the LFE output from your receiver, plug the single cable into the "L"- LFE input or for more signal use a Y connector and feed the signal into both R and L input"

I'm not sure what they meant with "for more signal" but I've read somewhere in AV forum that the maximum gain by doing so is not more than 3db. Like I said previously, you may not even notice. Even I myself don't even bother about the increase but my cable already come with built-in Y splitter so I use it.

If the argument is to save money from buying the Y splitter then by all mean please do so. Heck I will also use single cable without the Y splitter if I don't already have my current cable

....but u got to admit....the temptation of using stereo input on your sub is irresistible

Haha I understand bro. No argument here but I will utilize the stereo input if I can. Peace

Use original la bro. The sound is far more superior and a must if you are setting up your system

I ask because it seems at 0db the sub kind of overpowered everything else even the sub volume is about 40% only.


How to optimize subwoofer levels

It's confusing. In most home-theatre setups, your Dolby Digital/dts A/V Receiver has a menu for setting the levels of all your speakers, including an adjustment for the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel. This determines the strength of the electrical signal fed to your subwoofer's built-in amplifier. But there's also a volume control on your subwoofer, right?

So where do you set each control?

To keep your receiver's LFE output level from overloading the input stage of your subwoofer amplifier, and to keep noise levels below audibility, adjust the receiver's LFE/subwoofer output level to "0 dB", and leave it there. When you do your level checks, start with the sub's volume control at about the 10:00 a.m position, then use that control to set or trim your final subwoofer level. And of course you may have to vary it somewhat depending on which source you're watching or listening to--CD, DVD, VCR, or off-air TV. However, except for some bass-heavy CD or DVD programming, the sub level shouldn't require much re-adjustment.

So the basic rules so far...
1) turn up crossover on ur sub to max and control crossover using amp
2) set sub level to 0db at amp and do adjustment on sub

some more?

Dude...SVS is expensive sub. Let it do the work. Its not meant to be pampered

That's the reason to buy extra length for sub cable. You'll never know the best position might be the farthest away from your front speakers and amp.

Earlier in this thread Velo is so hot and considered elite. Even I got poisoned to get one. Now SVS comes in the picture, Velo become peasant already

Cut it out people
