5.0 out of 5 stars Great subwoofer..., February 12, 2006

This review is from: Velodyne VX10B Factory Renewed Black 10-Inch 150 Watt Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

This sub is fantastic for the price. It installs easy and works flawlessly. The sound is warm and accurate, not "boomy" like my old KLH 250watt 12inch sub. I was weary of not having an On/Off switch. The auto on works even at low volumes and it stays on consistently, not switching on and off as my old junk did. Don't let the only 100watt rating fool you, it puts out 100 clean watts and rocks the house. It also has a cool feature with the speaker level (high level) inputs filtering (crossover) the low frequencies from the music signal which lets the sub do all of the work and saves your main speakers from abuse. Allowing a basic stereo system to be bi-amped. Other features include a variable pass crossover, gain control and LED stand-by/ on indicator. It also has low level RCA type inputs and phase switch. Velodyne rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Going Back To The Bassics, September 30, 2006

If you're looking for a great subwoofer at a great price, stop right here!! After hearing this subwoofer at Circuit City I thought right away, this is the one. Even though it is a 10" driver, it produces lound sound that isn't boomy and the sound quality is amazingly clear. The Polk Audio subwoofers they had were almost double the price for a 10" and 12" with 500 watt ratings. Don't be fooled by the 100 watt rating. It's a clean and powerful 100 watts. Even if it's at low volume and low bass level, it's still incredibly clear and tight. I'm planning on moving my home theater set up into the backroom of my basement which is a 14x14 size room, and even now with it being in the front of my basement with about 25x25 it still produces clean sound.

Here's a list of pros and cons of this subwoofer

Pros:

+100 watts

+37 lbs (It feels heavy which usually indicates they're not skimping on amp power)

+Clean, tight, powerful bass. Not boomy like other subwoofers.

+Kevlar driver

+Auto on (even works at low volume and low frequency!)

+Beautiful design

+Easy to use

+Cross over feature

Cons:

-None

If you buy this amp, you'll also want to get a cable for it. I recommend using a digital coax cable because they are durable, have better shielding than stereo cables and work fantastic.

Velodyne beats all the others!!

Quality sub for the price. I am very happy. Music and movies both sound so much better now. It doesn't sound boomy to me in an 18'x18' room with hardwood floors. It does make the bass in movies and music come out much more clearly. I never hear any buzz from it during times when there is no sound or when we are watching something with little to no bass.

Caveat: I'm no audiophile, and this is my first sub.
