Home > Consumer Reviews > Velodyne VX-10 - Subwoofer - 100 Watt

I owned this sub for a year or so after becoming frustrated getting a down firing (higher end) subwoofer to sound right in a large, rather odd-shaped room. Having the rear port and being able to control its reflections to ideally tweak the phasing with larger mains was my reasoning behind this selection.

This is a very satisfying subwoofer, although bass extension isn't spectacular and it produces a fair amount of port noise on the lowest notes. It's a great sub for music and excellent for the money, and a definite step up from integrated home theater subs. Unless you push this sub too far (and produce a lot of port chuffing) or you really know what truly deep bass extension feels like, you will be completely happy with this sub--especially for the price. The 10" driver is also reflective of the price, having a foam surround vs a more durable rubber one.

Bought this little guy with an employee discount @ "Lie's" Electronics over 3 years ago. Paired with a Denon AV unit, has been set up in a few different enviroments, always isolated from the ground and placed in multiple locations until optimum sound was achieved. I thought the 100w was going to be lacking, but I'm looking for a quality "punchy" type of bass, not some numbnut driving down the street, bumping whatever eMpTyV's serving to the masses, rattling every panel on the car in order to get peoples attention...

Have not had a single complaint from the neighbors downstairs, while watching films at fairly high volume... Thing still rumbles whole living room in action sequences, with about 18' high ceilings & hardwood floors. This thing has not let me down yet in 3+ years, and I've recommended this sub to lots of people over the years. Can't beat the bang for your buck!!!(Especially in my case, as I got it for under $100,lol!!)

I have one of these sitting in a closet somewhere or did my wife throw it out. This thing stopped working after light use in about 6 months. Velodyne is a respected name in the subwoofer industry but this thing does not cut it . Good velodyne subs cost a grand and then some. Quality control is sacrificed on the cheaper models. Also the power rating is misleading. Your sub has to be able to handle more than 100 watts especially when paired with a good quality amp. Don't buy it because of the name. If you want a cheaper sub deal with companies that specialize in that category. Velodyne won't get another dime of mine.

Velodyne VX-10 are recommended if your looking for value and performance,Have this for almost a year and it's awesome,clean & smooth bass,looks like an 8"sub,construction heavy and solid, characteristics of a quality subwoofer.Be a proud owner of this pocket thunders from Velodyne!!!!!

I love this thing. Very true sound - not just the "thump, thump" you get from other units. I thought the pricing was very reasonable. You could spend alot more, but I don't see the point for a normal sized room. Truthfully, I do have the thing capped out, but it fills the 20'x15' room nicely and rattles everything that's not nailed down. You would need one with more volume for a bigger room. This replaced a small powered Sony one that I actually had for my audio system and stole it for the surround system when I got my plasma TV. I missed having a sub-woofer on the stereo and broke down and bought the Velodyne for the TV - it was a good move - this blows the Sony away.
