Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?

I need to read up on how Velodyne's software/hardware works. Does it have an equalizer? How does it measure the movement of the speaker cone or how does the feedback control work? Or what crossover frequency the Velodyne uses (fixed? or adjustable based on measurement with their mic of in room accustics)?

Have you ever used the video out on the Velodyne? The DD series uses the microphone to equalize the sub to your room. I believe the standard xover is set at 80. You can set the xover to whatever and for 5 different settings. You can also use the parametric EQ and manually adjust the output at different frequencies. But to do so you need to use the video out from the sub. There's lot's of settings you can access by using the video out. If you don't have a manual, download one.

I have enjoyed reading about your Repair/Service process for DD15 subwoofer.

Happy Listening!
