It's been several years since I was here last to catch up on current AV and build a HT. I was one of the very first to get on board with Artison LCR products in that project (which have been fantastic), while also hiding away all of my components via RF remote. The RF was ditched after only a...

Volume control on the sub will not stop going up or down once a button is pushed. I have to turn the power off. I emailed Velodyne was just wondering if anyone had dealt or heard of this. Would rather not have to ship this beast. At least they are nearby.

hmmm, that is a bold statement! I might know a guy with a sealed 15" that would be very interested to hear that.

They go pretty all out on their premium systems. My '07 has two external amplifiers, 11 speakers, and a 12" factory subwoofer that they built into the spare tire well! All I did was retrofit the factory sub enclosure with a new sub and amp and now, for what appears to be totally factory, it...

Volvo has been a leader in the OEM audio arena ever since they sourced Alpine OEM stock in the mid 90's. Now they are taking a further step forward by working with Audyssey Labs... see the article here. http://www.swedespeed.com/news/publish/Volvo_News/article_1332.html

May I suggest an LCR solution instead, such as this- http://www.artisonusa.com/artison_006.htm if you have a flat panel.

$900 will get you an awesome sub for the space. better to spend all that cash on one awesome sub than 2 boring subs. use the room calculator at velodyne.com to get an idea what sub you need. I think they are a little on the aggressive side, but it will give you an idea. People here will give...

Yes, I fully plan on replacing the amp at the same time. My conundrum now is that the original sub is 12"!!! No wonder I always think it sounds so damn boomy. I'll have to retro the cutout to fit an 8'' sub. Careful measurement has shown about 0.33 cuft, which is just right for many of the...

It's a factory sub and enclosure for the Volvo V70. It sits entirely hidden beneath the rear deck and is shaped such that it fits above the spare tire with the sub centered into the spare tire well. I really like that it is hidden, I just don't care for it's sloppiness.

Another question. Say this enclosure is very small. Maybe 0.33 to 0.4 cuft. If one can only find subs for a 0.5 cuft enclosure, but do not expect to run the sub anymore than the 50% range, does the volume discrepancy matter much?

I have a sub enclosure that I'm a little confused about. The sub is mounted on the exterior of the enclosure such that the sub faces into the enclosure. The enclosure is sealed. Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean the sub is reverse firing? Basically I'm trying to figure out what kind of...

I like simple machines. First try an inclined plane. If that doesn't work.... Catapult.

That about sums it up for me. Give 'em hell!

Unbelievable wealth of info in this thread. All I would add is that I have audyssey and I would not entrust it to do total room correction for subs, it has it's limitation there(especially with only one). Second, and this is a loose one, for the type of music you listen to it demands very high...

Ah, I see. That'll work.

I would forego a sub and spend the extra cash on decent speakers until you can afford a sub in excess of $300. IMHO, anything less than $200 is a glorified noise maker, worthy of only a Bose emblem. Sorry.

While on the surface I see how this is perceived, I think you have to consider further that this is a guy who was absolutely shattering boundaries. It was evolution at full throttle. I think that kind of genius, the creative kind, is just as important and probably moreso than technical skill...

watchin' the days go by...

Definitely hdmi, and make sure the avr is upscaling to the panels native resolution.
