Where I Purchased - Craigslist

Price Paid - $200

Condition - 90% (not included in the Average Guy Hi-Fi score)

Very good condition but the plastic cover has some minor blemishes.

Quality - 9.0

Very high quality in this price range. Woofer and the cabinet are very stout and you can tell instantly that this little sub means business.

Bass - 8.0

The bass that this little subwoofer produced was astonishing. The amount of deep/articulate bass this subwoofer puts out will surprise you.

The reason I didn’t rate it higher was because it seemed a little stressed out at higher volumes with super deep bass but that was totally expected, considering it’s diminutive size.

MSRP Rating - 8.5

This is definitely a top contender in this price range. It didn’t rate higher because the competition has been playing catch up recently.

Fantastic sub for the money!

Aesthetics - 8.5

I love the black woofer, thick rubber surround and how small the cabinet is. This subwoofer will fit nicely under most end tables and some chairs.

Price Paid Value - 8.0

I would compare this deal with the SVS subwoofer I just tested. I have seen these awesome subwoofers pop up around this price in the past but they are usually sold before I had a chance to snag them.

Average Guy HiFi Rating - 42/50 = 84%

Final thoughts -

Clean deep bass in a mind “bendingly” small package.

The SVS dug little deeper in my room with less effort but the little Velodyne just edged it out overall. Both are fantastic little subwoofers.

Don’t underestimate Velodyne, like many on the forums seem to be doing these days, with the introduction of Internet Direct competition. I love those awesome brands also but on the used market, there’s deals to be had when it comes to Velodyne.

Other Equipment used: Denon AVR-X3300W Receiver, Marantz MM7055 Amplifier, LG C9 OLED 65” TV, LG 4K Blu-ray Player, Panamax M5100-PM, Xbox One X
