troy2003 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 this seems like an amazing deal and I figured somebody on here should grab this up since I cannot. http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/ele/3746229706.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not sure about amazing. Few of them have sold recently on Ebay for that price but there are a few that also sold on Ebay for $600 - $700 too so yes, I would say it's a good deal. I love Velodyne but honestly, I'm not a fan of an 8" subwoofer. They are great for small rooms but mere physics limits an 8" driver from moving that much air. I prefer 15" for HT and 12" - 15" for music. That's just my personal taste. My guess is the Minivee might not be an upgrade from the sub you have now in terms of SPL levels. Again, I'm only speculating here. No real world experience with that sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy2003 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Would I be able to successfully run a velodyne 8" along with my RW-12d?. I ask because my RW is reaching its limits in my enourmous room but I am not sure if subs are similar to sound stage (trying to keep the corresponding speakers together). If I can successfully run another sub with my RW I will be looking in the next month or two, also space is a bit of an issue with all of our furniture so can I run an 8" with a 12" and be ok?

TasDom Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 For 300 bux, I'd just get another RW-12D. Much easier to integrate 2 identical subs. I have 2 and they do a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world, but our living room is large not to mention vaulted ceilings. Ive got a large sectional, matching couch, 2 end tables, coffee table, console table, television console, 4 large speakers on the floor and an rw-12d in the right corner. Needless to say space is at a premium and I can figure out where to place another enormous rw-12d. But with the overall size of our living room that single rw-12d is getting a workout, too much of a workout causing port noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Troy, I can't tell from the pics if it's possible, but if it is, get the sub closer to a corner, you'll benefit from room gain. Another solution is to move the sub closer to the main seating position so the gain can be turned down. Either suggestion would help your situation.

derrickdj1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Two Klipsch subs will work better than getting an 8 in. sub. Small subs for a large space just make farts doing the movies, lol. The high amp wattage is needed to try and overcome the physic for moving a lot of air that a larger sub can do much better. For around the same or slightly higher price, the Premiere Acoustic PA 150 is a monster on the output side. It will fill a large room. I have one and really like it.

ivanhurd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You could always set the second one on top of the other. It's supposed to help with gain by doing that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Due to the large space of the opening post, it may be a good ideal to go for output over extension due to all the open area connected to the room. For rooms larger than 5000 cubic feet, two PA 150 would get you to reference level without a strain. To achieve this same level, we are talking about subs in the $750-1500 range.

K5SS Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Troy, you and your room are ideal candidates for a SVS cylinder sub. Save up and get a SVS Plus or Ultra cylinder sub and never look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save up and get a SVS Plus or Ultra cylinder sub and never look back. Those are very nice pieces of equipment, just a bit spendy while looking down the barrel of an oppo purchase. Possibly a purchase for down the long haul though, I will keep those in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo171 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 SVS cylinder sub. Takes up only 16.5" of space! [] You can move the dog and put one there. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I believe there's one for sale (cylinder) in the garage sale section as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have owned the velodyne minivee while I was stationed in Japan. While it has a good amount of clean output for its size, it really only has the capability to fill a small room. I payed 500$ for mine brand new in 2007 so the price isn't that great on it.
