Brand: Velodyne Acoustics
#95 Velodyne Acoustics DD-18+: $5,000 Discontinued eBay
Same family: the Velodyne Acoustics DD-15+ (smaller subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 4.1/5), the Velodyne Acoustics DD-10+ (larger subwoofer, estimated 3.9/5) and the Velodyne Acoustics DD-12+ (larger subwoofer, estimated 4/5). See every Velodyne DD generation.
Pros: A sealed 18 inch subwoofer with powerful output for big rooms and balanced inputs, now discontinued but worth buying used. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 106.4 dB at 20 Hz and 118.3 dB through 40-80 Hz. The sealed enclosure with 18” (457mm) driver has the headroom for demanding film bass in a large room.
Cons: The 576.6H x 525.8W x 650.2D mm cabinet and 64.4 kg mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment. A sealed cabinet still needs careful placement and calibration to avoid room-mode peaks. Discontinued.
