If you are looking for radioshack brand SPL meter, then it is very difficult to get one. I gave up looking for it and bought it in US with my BIL's help

Is it still under warranty? Better audition it before buying as sub is more prone to failure than normal speakers

Less likely due to the hassle of warranty should anything happens to it. Either Paradigm, Velodyne or REL. Need to save 18 months for it sweat.gif blush.gif

Yeah, knew abt this too. Set it a '0' in AVR and the adjustment done at sub. Prefers to have sub that comes with remote. So, it's easy to switch it from 'movie' to 'music'

That reminds me of the 'affordable' Velodyne CHT series hmm.gif

Only callmevil has expensive sub. Others are using 'affordable' as well as entry level subs. Or mpyw is upgrading to reference series sub brows.gif

Try to nego a bit more for CHT-12R. New is less than RM2.6K. Sub is more prone to defects

if the sub lacks bass power, then putting it at a corner would increase the 'bass', but if ur sub can pack a punch then corners can distort the bass effect drastically.. if u see HTkaki post of his HT area before, u will realise where he put his sub is a bit weird.. but after i got my svs n did my calibrating n finding the 'sweet spot' i find my sub position oso almost similar to him..

Eh, sama gang tongue.gif

Some ppl thought i put it at the wrong place as it is blocking the floorstanders. I cldnt help but that the best position of all that I get. Putting it in front, firing straight at me is by far the worse of all placement rclxub.gif sweat.gif Corners, no no. Did the usual bass finding and that area is the best of all.

When I get my new sub, I wld have to do it all over again.

39" in height. Massive sub and sure score low on WAF factor. Moreover, need a really huge room to place it.
