    WTF? AvP just melted my SVS!

    So did we ever get a resolve to the speaker issue on this one?? Would love to know how it all worked out in the end. And/or did he play the movie again? Results?

    WTF? AvP just melted my SVS!

    Hmm.. Am I supposed to be putting this on all non-powered subs with external power amps? Man I have done a ton of these setups, and not one have I added a filter on. Educate me please!!

    That is an excellent point Ilkka R.... I find more and more, the engineers on many soundtraks don't take it near serious enough and are generally all over the place. New movies seem to be the worst offenders. I love the "Race to the loudest soundtrack" comment... so true...

    "John S, your Velo most likely has some sort of limiting circuit in it...cuts down on warrant claims. ;-) At some point, no matter how much you keep twisting the volume knob, it's not going to get any louder. The passive SVS subs have no such protection. Were your 120+db peaks with the...

    Alrighty then.. I gotta revisit Alien -vs- Preditor now at reference levels!!!! I just don't remember anything in there tax'n my sub that hard. But maybe I wasn't listening loud enough, or maybe even obviously I wasn't listening loud enough!!! :)

    Thanks for the additional information Tom. I watch movies at reference type levels often. I don't think I am in tune with most of the real world on this. :) Extension down low has a lot to do with it as well. I've never tried to really test below 20hz, which is where the roll off really...

    WTF? AvP just melted my SVS!

    I just spent some time on their website. I'm a little surprised it wouldn't be able to hit those peeks within it's operating comfort though. Maybe a place where a 15" or larger driver sort of hangs in there a little better perhaps?? It will be interesting to see how it works out for him.

    I actually do not know the SVS product line well enough, to even know what sort of level of sub this one is. I think I will go educate myself a little on their products.

    WTF? AvP just melted my SVS!

    I agree, as I stated, I think somehow the driver was a bit of a lemmon. But other causes are totally plausable as well. Nothing to get alarmed about. I run my subs by preference, if it can't take the heat, I need a different sub. I thrashed three JBL subs before getting my Velodyne. I would...

    Do you run you sub(s) hot? Sure sounds that way. Interesting. Thanks for the post. Not many around here melting their SVS drivers. :) So yours may have been an odd exception. Not to familure with that amp, but it sounds like it could provide massive peak dynamic power for sure. I'm hard on...
