Velodyne or OrbAudio Sub?!?! help me decide! *PICS inside
Hello guys, I finally setup my OrbAudio MOD2 with the super 8 sub. My dad gave me his old 10" sealed Velodyne the other day. Which is better? I like the deeper bass that 10" provides. Honestly I think this Orb Super 8 is a bit weak when I listen to hip hop music. What do you guys think? My receiver is an old Marantz SR-18 which has DTS. I mainly use this to watch DVD and listen to music. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!!
p.s I like bass :cornut:

Good advice. AAn addendum.

I've found this control has no audiable efffect in my system.

Those Orbs are good but really, really tiny. I'd think somewhat higher. He should check their -3 db point for more on this.

True, very true.

Works for me. This will prevent any sounds below 20 hz, or whatever it's set to.

"In" means he'll be using the sub's internal crossover. "Out" will bypass the sub's internal Xover and allow the AVR to control the Xover functions.
