  • Fresh out of the box and into my destructive paws this super fancy 12 inch powered subwoofer gets trashed, I see what it takes to blow the driver in this Velodyne EQ-Max 12 - A long time greatly reviewed sub that nearly survived my torture tests! These video clips were on a camera card that I had lost... I even forgot I did this
    "450 watt dynamic amplifier and down-firing port go as low as 25 Hz while output up to 135 Hz at 3dB" --- Yeah this thing was LOUD

    People need to look at these videos from another angle. It took mains power to kill it, and even then it didn't blow immediately. This is obviously a well made driver, the manufacturer should love this for showing how much abuse it takes!

    I've got a Velodyne Digital Drive 12 with servo controller and has remote control and microphone, I bought it third hand. the driver still hits like a truck after two decades. the whole cabinet has been dropped, the amp has been replaced then repaired but the driver is indeed indestructible. the surround is super thick and rigid, it's like touching a car tire. the force that the coil must have to move that cone is indeed impressive

    You are not going to blow up a velodyne powered sub in its stock form, it just isn't going to happen. They are built and designed very well. They do one thing, and they do it very well. They are not cheap crappy speakers, I think my 10" back in 2005 cost me like 400 bucks. Once you pull the plate off the back and wire it directly to the driver it is no longer as the speaker was designed so who knows what will happen. You ruined the dampening of the box and bypassed all the protection, crossovers and amp that was designed to drive it. And it still didn't blow, that is pretty impressive in its self to me. Where did you get this that you were willing to destroy it? If you hadn't got to extremes to ruin it you could have sold it to someone for a pretty decent price lol.
