Hydrology Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Looks like a very generic plate amp on the back of these subwoofers. Edited February 5, 2021 by Hydrology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datrance Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Agreed. It looks like a glorified budget speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 amazing ! 50mm ! front baffle and 25mm sides ! and good to see grunty amps and compact sealed designs. should give the likes of SVS and REL a good bit of competition looking at the pricing my two Velodyne DDs are still amazing subs which is amazing as it is given how old they are ! clean, tight, controlled and go deep and yet punch hard making them very good for both music and movies... a rare quality still in subs. good to see velodyne continuing this with this new series at what looks like affordable pricing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Something to consider replacing my spl1200 one day ; dropped the price nicely without the auto PEQthey need a proofreader though for this successor Quote Available in 8”, 10”, 12” and 15” these new DB subwoofer lineup is the predecessor of the successful SPL I series, a very small form factor closed box design.

Andre28 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 These are quite interesting, though they seem quite light, is that still something worth considering when trying to determine if a sub is "quality"? My 12" sealed sub must weigh 30-40kgs, whereas this is coming in at 13kg. Does that mean anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The square meter size makes all the difference ;dont worry velodyne know all about rigidity and baffle thickness when it comes to low distortion in a sub . Not to mention the over construction of the voice coil and magnet controlling the cone .. Its a matter of how low you want the freq range to go ; under 20hz requires a big box ; a big cone to move lots of air and maybe a port tuned to a certain frequency . This is a nice slow rolloff on the 15 inch ; Quote 23 - 120 Hz (± 3dB) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
