timdog5000 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 there's a gentleman in my area with a Velodyne ULD – 15 in perfect condition just had amp and driver replaced a couple years ago. He wants $300 for it and thought it might be a good sub in the interim till I get what I want. should I pull the trigger and put it out in the garage when I'm done with it ? or am my just being inpatient and wanting SOMETHING. Strke that, I know I'm being impatient and want something, question is, is that unit worth $300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdog5000 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 if no one answers in the next 30 minutes I'm buying it :-) JJ I TOLD YOU I'M IMPATIENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) That is an older sub. Since the driver and amp have been replaced, I would take a critcal listen to the sub. You may be able to talk him down some. I think SVS has a 1000 unit for $499 shipped with 5 year warranty.

MichaelandKlipsch Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'd wait also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I would grab this one any day before the ULD-15. Offer the seller a quality trade of some sort and $500.00 and see if he bites. The SMS-1 sub EQ alone can fetch $250.00+. http://springfieldil.craigslist.org/ele/4385677516.html Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdog5000 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 okay… You talk me through a moment of weakness… Thank you! those R F7 sound great without a sub but sure am looking forward to getting one added ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's so easy to be a compulsive buyer, I've done it also. But the feeling of knowing you did the right thing by NOT buying something is terrific. You will find the right deal….good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The Velo ULD-15 is an old old sub, its performance compared to today's subs is nothing great. These Velodynes have low linear Xmax, displacement is quite poor. At lower SPL or in smaller rooms they sound great(providing the driver is original/refoamed/reconed). Today a Velo DD15 or newer brethren will trounce these old , once great subs in overall performance(mostly output limited down deep).
