I took an HGS-10 to Velodyne some years ago when I was in Monterey for the car weekend. I got the impression that subs were just a sideline activity of a tech company that saw a good application for its high-gain servo technology. I have two HGS-15s, four HGS-10s, and two SMS-1 bass managers. At the time, SRI had a similar project aimed at sound cancellation. |
tutetibiimperes This is where Elon Musk is an asshat. He genuinely cannot think or something. Giving the driver less to do with the operation of the car isn't going to make more attentive drivers. I honestly can't stand that fool. I knew he was and idiot when he was setting up the line for the Model 3. All his windbag jive about just looking at the robots and seeing that they go slow, then demanding ABB make them go twice as fast. Those folks at ABB thought he was a complete idiot. Tesla suppliers HATE working with him because he knows nothing about much of anything. He doesn't understand why you can't run a production line with prototype tooling. He doesn't understand why you can't mass produce prototype cars. I'm not even going to get into how stupid his hyperloop ideas are. But he wants to patent the subway tunnel and give it away to anybody who can build a subway tunnel. What a clown! |
I have an older Velodyne 15" servo sub that has been in HT duty since about 2000. It still works, but the volume control needs attention. The volume jumps strangely with small movements and is hard to set right. If anyone knows what might need to be done, it's probably worth fixing. I believe it uses the older class A/B amp. When I recently shopped for subs for my listening room it was clear Velodyne no longer competed with many of the typical companies that now make the short list. I went with the Rythmik 12G servo subs and am thrilled. For pure HT, a ported model from many choices is no doubt a better decision today. |
