Entry Level Sub -- Velodyne VX-10 or Polk PSW10?

[dexterity]

Hi, all!

I'm just a newbie, dipping my toe into the pool of HT and audio.

I've just purchased a Yamaha rxv-559 receiver and the Fluance av-htb speaker system.

I'm considering the Velodyne vx-10 and the Polk psw10 subs.


Any thoughts on entry-level subs in a smallish room (15' x 15')?

I don't know if the rx10 has the bypass crossover where you can use your receiver crossover. If it has great if not I'd recommend going with the CHT-10 instead which has it. This allows for a smoother integration of the sub.

Hsu Research?

Or, just build a Bigger-Is-Better with one of those 8" tang-band subwoofer drivers.

Velodyne, hands down.

thanks for the replies...I'll research the crossover settings on the velo vx-10, and consider the cht as an alternative.

As for the DIY project, I think I need a bit more 'seasoning' before tackling that, but it's something I'll file in the back of my mind for later...

Peace.

the kits have everything in them, it's basically connect 2 wires, mount the speaker and mount the amp...

The Titanic systems come in a kit form that can be easily assembled in approximately 1 hour. The subwoofer driver, amplifier, custom cabinet, and all necessary hardware are included, and can be assembled with just a few basic tools. The cabinet itself is ready-to-go, including driver cutouts, amplifier cutouts, pre-installed T-nuts for driver mounting, and pre-installed T-nuts for the spikes.

your suggestions are very intriguing, especially when I checked the Titanic site, and read how simple the kits are.......stay 'tuned' ;-)!

Very easy!!! I've put together the 10" and 15". Others have put the kits together for the first time recently as well, with no problems. The 10" is going for $288 with free shipping I believe and their CS is excellent.
