Waaaa....RM900 is consider cheap already.......New unit..then fine.....if look at the spec....if compare the velo..then the price also 2x times la

djdyks, have you try to audit the unit
*
Yes, i been to CMY to check out the AudioPro Sub PS175
Can't compare coz i nvr heard the Velo before.
However ... the AudioPro comes with some interesting features ... auto switch off after 30 mins of non signal detected and auto turn on if signal detected again (save u the hassle of walking forth and back turning it on and off) ... AceBass amplifier (their own in-house thingy) ...
I was sitting right in front of the sub with the port facing at me, yet i can't hear the bass comes from it. However once the volume level turn down, the whole room was without bass at all. The power is quite menacing ... i tested it till half the volume level only, and playing around with the low pass level.

FYI, i was told that the designer of AudioPro speakers / subs is in-fact the 1st person to invent subwoofers while he was 16 yrs old ... now he 40yrs ++
The sub manufactured in Sweden ... AudioPro started biz with doing sub 1st !
Honestly its a good thing at that price range ... poisoning myself ... gotta check out a few more first before deciding !
