Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo



Hi, I've been very interested in running two subwoofers in stereo (diff. signals to each subwoofer); I've heard many people swear by this setup.

My next room for my system will be 14' x 14' x 18' high ceiling loft living room. My question is, will two DD10 be enough to fill the room with organ music and scare me out of my seat for movie tracks? Should I move up to two DD12s? Money is not really an issue, but I'd like to save wherever I can.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

All I can tell you is I have DD12 in a 18 x 24 x 9 high room and one is more than enough. I would say the 2 DD10s would be plenty.
I owned a DD-12 in a room 18x20x8 with one wall of sliding glass doors. Quite the sub but I replaced it with a DD-18. No comparison (nor should there be because of the cost). The 18" sub is just super with anything I use it for... movies or stereo listening. My thoughts are if your even thinking of two (2x the dollars) get the DD-18. Its increadible. Move it around a bit in the room if you can (have help!), find the sweet spot and then utilize the software to tune it to the room. This is one great subwoofer!

Better yet get two!

By the way... Velodyne has a pass through for a second sub built in to their DD series.
Hi Sailfishben,

A single DD15 or DD18 would be nice but I'm really interested in running two subs in stereo. When I say stereo, I don't mean two subs daisy chained to each other receiving the same LFE signal, but two subs receiving different left and right channel signals.
My understanding is low frequency is basically non-directional so I'm wondering what the point is to use it in stereo? I know the sound stage created in my system has plenty of low end response and the low end seems to come from within the soundstage but certainly not from the corner of the room where the sub is actually located.

Wouldn't you have to run the speaker cables to the sub and then to the speakers, creating some long runs not to mention great expense for extra cabling? Although I wonder if you couldn't just use the r/l tape output (assuming they are not used already) letting the sub's crossover do its work on the signal.
