Yes for sure. My Velodyne CT-100 was considered the bargain of the year back in the late 90s. It could actually dip down in the high 20s. That was unheard of as most big name subs were only doing mid to high 30s in it's price range.I had a velodyne 1215 for a few years back in the day. 12" front firing with a 15" down-firing passive radiator. It was a pretty nice little sub at the time. I went through a ton more after that including making a few, but that was a nice one for what it was.
Things are better now as even a budget priced subwoofer as my Klipsch R-120sw outperformed the old Velodyne with more punch, less muddy bass for music, and the same if not better low bass peformance. I paid $300 for the Velodyne CT-100 back in the late 90s and I paid $300 for the Klipsch R-120sw over 20 years later. For what it's worth, the $500 I paid for my SVS would had cost over $1000 back in the day for the same performance. That's $1000 in late 90s money is equivalent to over $1,800 today.
