Velodyne F-1200 vs Orb Uber 10
|
New member Username: RaaChicago, IL US Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-09 | I just bought Orb Mod 2's (I think they are awesome sounding) I also purchased a Yamaha RXV-663 receiver which helps things a bit I'm sure...I would like an opinion on my Subwoofer choice. I have an old Velodyne F-1200 100 watt subwoofer, still sounds ok but distorts at higher volumes. It's not in the budget at the moment but I was considering the Orb Uber 10 to match what I have and also it offers 300 watts. I'm not anywhere near an expert on this so I am looking for opinions. and appreciate your input. |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 12599 Registered: Dec-04 | Hsu builds (or built) for Outlaw, unsure if they are the same unit...looks like not. The LM1 and LM2 were designded by Dr. Hsu, but unsure of the build. |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2640 Registered: Feb-07 | Doing some more research Nuck, seems you're right. The LFM-1 and 2 are now discontinued, but even the similarities between the current Outlaw and Hsu subs are remarkable. |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 12603 Registered: Dec-04 | Some of the same drivers and amps, with a different look, perhaps. I think that was a buddy deal with Hsu and Outlaw. Nice subs, with the STF2 being the same in parts to the LMF2 |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2642 Registered: Feb-07 | It did... about 6 months ago. Just stopped working, so I threw it in the basement. I decided to plug it in one day and it worked just fine. Came back to life I suppose. |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2680 Registered: Feb-07 | Speaking of Outlaw subs, they have a new one coming out: http://outlawaudio.com/products/ecs.html Not looking like a Hsu at all, and 1000 watts. Sweet... What do you think Andre? |
