Everybody has seen the SVS drivers since day one.
I have even seen some HSU drivers.

Anybody have pics of the Velodyne Drivers starting w/ the DD, SPL, and DSL stuff?
That would be great.

Since, I am on the subject does anyone have pics of the HO drivers for HSU and the AV123 drivers for their subs?

Here is a link to the HGS-10 Acrylic--similar driver to what is in the DD, a little beefier than what is in the SPL an way more overbuilt than the DLS series. As crazy built as this is the DD's are a tad more overbuilt.

Great Pic. Holy Crap.
What if someone put that in a larger enclosure and it was a DD series?
Would it still Auto-EQ flat?

MORE PICS.

Thats a cool looking sub. It would be even cooler if it were made from UV reactive Acrylic like those PC cases :p

Here's the pics from the link. I don't know how to just stick it in the message, so it will be an attachment. PM me if you know how and won't call me stupid.
This link loads up lik 29 pictures.

Yeah, I kind of always wondered what would happen if velo decided to build a LLT built around one of their amazing drivers and hihgly capable amp with their incredible electronics. I am sure that the drivers are designed specifically for small sealed enclosures though--and they would have to start from scratch for a vented or PR application. I am sure it is within their means, I just don't think in their philosophy. The shear amount of bass they get out of smaller sealed enclosures is more than is needed for 95% of the non bass junky population. Now, for most of the guys in here....that is another story. We are always trying to push the envelope.

since there's a shortage of pics ... will a close up do?

Take it out. We want to see the motor structure.

There is more to bass then SPL and that is why velodyne builds subs the way they do.

ha ... im no good tinkering ... I have a pic of the class d amp!

you guys should request pics from Bruce Hall or Curt C

but then again, the DLS-5000R/CHT-15R is among the highest SPL subs out there.

One just went on eBay a few weeks ago.

Darn, I missed it! ;)

i thought the grill wasn't removable? i just got one and it doesn't seem like i can take it off.

I like the bug light it comes with. :D

the grill cloth is a bit flexible ... you can grab hold of the grill and pull out the ring that holds the cloth. I have done this many times but cannot guarantee yours will work. :p

Curt C mentioned that Velodyne might provide us with pictures of all the drivers.
Score.

That looks like a vent on the bottom. I'am not too familiar with Velodyne subs but I though they were all sealed subs (not ported in anyway).
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

most of velodyne's subs are sealed but this model is one of their few bass-reflex subs. according to curt c from velodyne it's a more efficient design.

Most ported subs are more efficient than sealed.

I wonder how great a Ported DD-18 would be.

Don't know how great a ported DD-18 would be :), but there is probably a good reason (SQ) that Velo's top models are all sealed. For sheer output, a $1200 SVS PB-12 Plus/2 would likely out-muscle the DD-18.

nice looking sub[/drul]
I'd be interested in removing the amp and replacing it with a piece of acrylic

ThomasV555, if they let you grab the link to the pictures location.

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but that's a pretty weak looking subwoofer driver.

yeah im not gonna lie, i wasnt too impressed when i took it out. its got a decent magnet (55oz) but the actual driver looks like its simply thick paper. but im building myself a new sub so soon this will just be my back up

There is nothing wrong with paper woofer or subwoofer drivers. Paper is very light and can be pretty strong.

The magnet does look pretty weak but if it performs fairly well to you, who cares.

That's sad looking. I suppose it's all in the enclosure engineering :p

...and now we know why it's a vented enclosure. ;)

haha, you guys having fun bashing my sub? :p

Well I figured that was velodyne's entry level sub and probably only runs around $200, then I checked Circuitcity.com. $549.00? Now if ever you are paying for a name...I shouldn't bash it since I have not heard it but to look at that hardwear I cant see price justification. I would have to believe that my 25-31 NSD would beat the snot out of that unit at the same price I paid. Wow! :(

haha, you guys having fun bashing my sub? :p

Read the last line of Unicron's post....that's all that matters.

now Im curious if the DLS series has the same driver as the DSP series (which I think SHOULD be the same)

this looks alot like Soundstream sub frame

i thought velodyne was going to provide us with pics of the drivers?

Good thread people,it is good to see some have taken the time to show the woofers of the Velo subs. I have a file with pics of many drivers,if anybody wants I can try and find it. Mostly Sunfire woofers(TC Sounds and others)

You want to see impressive woofers from Velodyne,only two ranges have them.

HGS/DD and the SPL series,all other Velo subs use very ordinary looking drivers(not much linear on these).

All Sunfire subs use very imposing TC SOunds made woofers,look more like beefed up SPL series woofers.

HSU uses very ordinary looking woofers(with greatly beefed up suspension and motor structures).



In the end it is all in how they sound.

I used to rep. car audio products, including some very fancy looking speakers, many which were real garbage. Can anybody say "Power Bass"? :D Keep in mind a lot of this has to do with aesthetics. Trim rings, die cast and chrome baskets, etc look great, but they don't always guarantee better performance. The new PB10 NSD is an impressive looking, heavy duty, die cast driver, but it doesn't offer any better performance then its predecessor or some of the other SVS subs, which use a stamped basket.

The driver may not be that impressive, but check out them toes. :D

I have not taken mine apart but here are some outside shots of the driver for a Velodyne HGS15
