5.0 out of 5 stars At the current price (~$105 shipped), this is a no-brainer folks., July 29, 2009

I usually don't take the time to write reviews but this sub's ratings here are not giving it a fair shake at the current ~$105 shipped price. I wrote this review almost only to try and counteract the retard giving it a 1 star because it's not as good as a $1,500 sub.

Though Velodyne offers much higher quality units, this sub will compare favorably to any 10" model you can find at your local shop from big brand names like Polk, JBL, or Klipsch.

The unit is plain-finished and relatively compact. Output is limited by the relatively small box and 10" driver, but is just fine for such a unit and is more than enough for a small room or apartment. It will be much more accurate than any HTIB type "sub", and louder than most of them except for maybe the really boomy Onkyo's that have terrible one-note peaky boomy output around 60Hz.

It's without a doubt better than the 150-type JBL's or 10" base Polks, and there is really nothing comparable to it for $105 new, shipped. Some options open up at $150-180, but not at $105. The build and finish quality is solid if basic, and Velodyne has good support.

I look around for a sub for a while. I found this Velodyne VRP and bought it due to its price and features. I'm no audiophile but it sure sounds good in my medium sized living room. I have a HK amp and Klipsh tower speakers and wanted a little more bass, this Velodyne sure does a good job. It is also magnetically shielded and has a relatively high rms, for the price point (under 150$). And for the guy that gave this sub a one star, I'm not sure what his point was, except to say this isn't a 1000$ sub.
Also I was worried that since the sub came out in 2005 it would be old stock, but it is not it was made 5 months ago.

For an inexpensive subwoofer is works well. It doesn't play as low as some more expensive subs but the price is right. It looks good and has been reliable.
