Hei, newbie here wanna join velodyne club.

Actually ordered SVS PB12-NSD but Eric (SVS's boss) warned about our custom clearance so cancel the order.

Was browsing around when I found this tread and kenna poison kaw-kaw until cannot tahan went to A&L after work & bought CHT-12R.

Its 50 watts less then the PB12 but saved some $$ and 'kopi'

USD599 + USD200 (courier) not yet include M'sian tax (in custom's website all hi-fi electronics is 30% taxable although I heard u can drive down to KLIA & buy some kopi ) In the end would probably cost RM3k at least, thats RM500 more for 50 watts.

Thanks, 1 thing bout the CHT is the large footprint. Not many place can fit & very low WAF (wife approve factor). Impact series is much smaller and cheaper. Wonder whats the specs

PC12-NSD u mean, spec wise (12 inch NSD woofer, 350 watts BASH amp, goes down to 20 Hz) it will out perform the other 2 subs although the cost is also relatively higher

JL audio Phantom F113 M'sia where can get & the price sure

if can afford alway go 4 'overbass' (can adjust the volume) rather than 'underbass' (need to upgrade)

CHT-12R is overkill fr my current set-up (upgraded from 8' 70 watts)

During the week-end I tested Transformers DVD (1st time w. CHT-12R) & during the 'ironhide flipping' part, my sub seems to bottom-out with distrotion. Other members with the same sub seem to be able to handle the bass is it due to my setting or positioning or did I set the volume too high?

FYI crossover set @ direct on the sub and 80 hz on the AVR. As for positioning then cannot change much since the bugger is huge and I have limited space.

Another matter, my sub cable have some arrows along the cable. Should the arrows be pointing into the sub or into the AVR?

Yup Onkyo, but don't have SPL meter so cannot manually adjust my EQ.

But goin by wat u said, means need to adjust LFE volume downwards?

How many days did the shipping take?

fast fast pasang and release the BASS!

Heard its d same sub but w. auto EQ calibration (like audessey)

MiniVee (8") is packed with a 1000w amp and cost like 5k+ in KLCC. Really tight bass and very compact, can place on bookshelf but if space is no problem better get the SPL series

REL produce musical sub dunno how it will handle movies

What cables were u using previously?

I oso wana pinjam

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.....

IMHO Fr RM2.5k u can get either tight or fast or decent boom, u cannot get all three; the Velo CHT @ RM2.5k offers decent boom but not very tight. B&W offer tighter bass but don't go low enuf, had a Jamo which was very musical but fails on 'boom'

SPL? I wish I can afford it on my meager salary

If u r looking for a sub & wanna play music loud u probably lookin for the "feng thou" effect where u want to feel the bass hit ur chest.... that my freind is the LFE in play hence u r looking for a powerfull HT sub as oppose to a refined Hi-Fi sub. U need a big woofer with high amplification and can go below 24hz Hence many xperienced "bass heads" recommended SPL. U can oso try importing a SVS or Hsu but avoid the entry level stuff

Phew RM50k enter new Mr. Elite

Hey Bro, saw u have 3 subs sitting in ur living room.

U connected all 3 subs into 5.3 or just using the biggest?

Actually 7.3 abit overkill but if u calibrate ur 7.2 properly can sound sweet (sherwood & PAradigm use the roger as a 10" computer sub).
