Is my 9 year old Velodyne sub any good?

Hey guys!

My dad gave me this sub 2 years ago and I have been using it. I am just curious how is this subwoofer? It's a size 10" correct?

Thats an excellent sub. If your not happy with it, I'll be glad to take it off your hands.:) Its a servo controlled sub and velodyne makes some of the best subs around. I own a cheaper Velodyne model that is several years old.

Yes, looks like a 10". Great little sub! You are fortunate to own it.

If you likes it, who the hell am I to say different, ay?

[pekopeeus]

hehe I thought it was a 12" when I tear it apart yesterday. nice nice.

Now that I think of it, you were asking us this exact same question a while back. Why are you asking again?

[pekopeeus]

it's a 12" isn't it? It says HGS12. I'm asking again to make sure for my new home!! can't wait!

Sumpin' about some guys always askin' about size....

As slick Willie might say "It's the sound stupid"!:ihih:
Seriously, if it sounds good, it is good. Be it a 10", 12", 15" or an 18", sound not size is what matters.

It's quite surprising though that it would hardly measure 10" as seen on the picture and yet is supposedly a 12" givien the model name. i know drivers measure smaller than their supposed size but this is a little extreme.

[Auricauricle]

Seems they should have standards of measurement. Maybe oughtta start by weighing the magnets or some such stuff...

The HGS-12 was a beast of a sub for both audio and HT. You would be hard pressed to better it with a more modern sub.
