Well I think it is cheaper to have a y-splitter at the sub end as u only need to have one long sub cable & a y-plitter instead of two long sub cable if u have a y-splitter at the av side!

agree...

All sifu. I have 1 question.

I try to connect active sub using preout but the sound is not so good if compare to i connect from speaker out.

So now i connect from my center speaker to sub(right in), and left front to sub(left in).

the sound more smooth n faster respond.

Is this connection ok?

any comment? or any1 experience it before?

hello everyone. just wanna ask you experts

i am currently running a Mission M3AS sub as part of my bedroom-theatre set...(onkyo tx-sr606, mission m32i fronts, m31i surr, m3a2c center, m3as sub)

I am currently using the store's demo model at home as my unit in preferred colour is not yet available and the store is gonna bring it in a few weeks...

now with my unit still some weeks away from availability, the store owner proposed that if i like i could have a new Velodyne Impact 10 sub instead which they have in stock...

you guys reckon i should go with the new Velodyne? or better off sticking with the Missions? both are 10" woofers

Specs:
Mission M3AS
http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/mo...Product_ID/1492

Velodyne Impact 10
http://www.velodyne.com/products/specs/ImpactSpecs.html
*
We can have all our oppinion on the sound but U must try it at ur place with different placement(cos different sub in different placement will different effect). And also the tuning is different for diffrent sub to get optimus effect....

Anyhow just Trust your ear and follow your heart. And mayb who have use those sub before can share wherether which 1 is more tahan lasak..so value for money lo.... tongue.gif

Bought a new SPL1200r from S'pore after testing the 2nd hand unit bought from howdynco last month.Nice chap, delivered to me at the peakest hour in Klang Valley. For a complete HT setup, this is THE sub to get, trust me. it's worth every penny.
Here's my quick take. It is diferent from the present sub I'm using which is the yst-sw 1500. The Velo has deeper base than the yammy. Its like a husky voice talking. Its most obvious when I played Hotel California on my CD player during the drum part. The acoustics on it is beautiful. The 1500 gives a lower and "clearer" base compared. Watching Behind Enemy Lines, the helis and fighters fly bys are much louder and I could feel it doesnt need to stress the down firing as hard as the yammy to achieve the same result. In Shooter, the sniper rifle scene in the snow mountains makes you feel being shot. And that is less than 50% of volume of the two subs. Oh, the blue indicator light on the bottom left panel is just so cool. Maybe it's just me with blu lights(pun intended) wink.gif
    It's almost complete now my HT setup with a 9.2 except for  procastinating in getting a pj, still not enough coaxing from you guys.

that's really strange.. usually those who include sub for music tend to lean towards tight bass, not boomy smile.gif

Boomy bass is cheap.. but Tight bass is very hard to find.. especially for tight n low bass... flex.gif

Used unit? How old? This is a very good sub which blends well with both music and movie. It digs really low. If it is in mint condition, this is a very good purchase that you would hardly regret buying it.

On another note, I am thinking of upgrading my less than 6 months old Velodyne CHT-12R  hmm.gif

Foyoo.. wan to upgrade ur 6 month old Velodyne CHT-12R lo..

Boss, most of B&W models are made in China and majority of well known brands are made there too. As long as there is good quality control, it should be okay.

the sad things is i heard there is a different in quality. i think is d QC n d ppl in production line problem...

Hey Bro, me think u r 'confused'; the SPL Velodyne can definitly 'boom boom' & is loud & its 1000 watts!!!

You can say its not as 'musical' or 'fast' as JL audio or some Hi-Fi Sub....... But if u want loud & boomy u can't go wrong w. SPL. How can it go low enuf for LFE but not enuf to play music bass??

Let us know your application and budget then mayb some sifu will assist u else stop trolling.....

U all get wrong d.. If he say Velodyne no good mean he looking for cheap bass like car subwoofer.. not clear n plus noisy n lousy... So my suggestion is U go for Car subwoofer then modified it to home use.. tongue.gif
