two more subs

hey brothers

any thoughts on velodyne subs

and thanks again to all guys who reply in my post

i really appreciate your help

Velodynes are good. To get good quality you will have to buy the expensive models though.
Here's a discussion on audiogon by a guy who replaced his velodyne with Rythmik. One guy replaced his DD15 with the 12 incher from Rythmik.

hey brother

what about polk dsw pro 600 which is 30000 in profx site and frequency response is 20hz
 
Manu,
I do not have experience with the Polk sub. As mentioned earlier, I am not into HT and Subs much. I have some friends who are deeply submerged into these:D
They do not touch any subs by mainstream speaker brands like polk, wharfedale and such. The kinda swear by specialist brands like the following:
SVS, JL, Velo, Rel, Rythmik, BK etc.
By the way: Paper specs like frequency response is not everything..:)

I am using one myself and more than satisfied with it. Its a great VFM For Rs.25000. If placed properly and caliberated with hand held sound pressure meter its more than enough for your needs. I had upgraded it with Wharfadale Sw150. Check out its specifications from Polk Audio website rather than Pro FX as it contains more details.

hey bro can you ask your freidns where they buy those subs in india

please :sad:

thanks bro :cool:
 
Hey! Sorry for not explaing the daisy chain earlier.

What i was trying to say is to connect in series, one after the other. Transmitted signals go to the first sub, then to the second and so on.

I hope it is clear.
Cheers
 
Soundsgreat,

Electricity works the same way whether in audio or in jet turbines. So parallel circuits having the same voltage input still holds. The volts we talk about in any audio system are still the electrical volts (work per unit charge around a defined path, done by the electric field present)

Whether subs or speakers, if they are passive, then adding two or more in parallel does reduce sound levels, as you mention. This is because the current drawn by the identical parallel loads is more than what the amp can supply and hence the total electrical "power" is split up. The "voltage" to the subs (electrical loads) is still what the line level was originally.

However, if we have active speakers/subs then I am not sure how far this argument holds. Because from my limited understanding, active loads actually present theoretical open circuit loads (very high input impedance) to the amp and draw minimal current. Only the voltage is seen at the input of such loads, while the current is supplied by the battery/source of the sub itself. So in this case, there should not be any reduction of sound output, no matter how many you connect in parallel to the amp, whether the connection is via LFE or via speaker outputs.

Of course, I am open to correction if someone has another explanation.

Anant Need I remind you that this is audio and not electricity ;)? coz only there the parallel circuits work the way you mention :p!! here things are different ! Also what current are we talking bout here ? if the voltage itself is 250Mv then the current ??

In Audio usually when we talk of line level signal its usually in terms of volts and this is not the actual electrical volts ;)!! so you cannot apply the theory of electricity here ;)!

Its the Audio Voltage (I don't know how to put in laymen's term),its the signal level from peak to peak of a sine wave of a audio signal :p!

if you or anyone has a doubt,just try to keep the volume same of both the subs (or multiple) and unplug one (or the rest but one) subs input ;) if the sound level of the other sub doesn't increase please come back to me :eek:hyeah: !

If even after all this one wants to go ahead then be my guest :indifferent14:!!

Regards.
 
I think the same.
Though in practice I do agree with soundsgreat that there won't be an ideal voltage source, or ideal current source. But approximating for passive subs, I think the voltage drop should not be too much if split in parallel circuits. Given that the voltage too is just 1-2 volts, while the receiver is drawing power from a larger voltage/ current source.

very cute. how old? mine is 9 months old - and my wife doesn't let me increase the volume as it might hurt her hearing.

brother she's 8 months old :) but i can play my movies or games as loud as i can becuase i have separate home theatre room :eek:hyeah:
