Well, since I am having some difficulty with the installation, I thought that you guys may want to see what I have even though it is not yet installed. Everything is brand new and unused, I can't wait any longet to get this installed!

So nice to see someone who can appreciate quality components. Love the Helix amp.

Should be having mine installed in the next 2 weeks.

Wow!! *cough**cough**YOU*SUCK*cough*couch*

Just kidding of course. That's some great looking stuff. I had the chance to get a Velodyne 12" with my system but passed it up. I wonder if I made the right choice to this day. Oh well. I'd love to see how you get it all installed.

Yeah it is great for a space saving or stealth install. VERY small imprint... What color did you get?

Hey Brian,

Not sure what you're complaining about, you have a pretty sweet set-up too! How are you enjoying it? How much could you have gotten the Vel 12" for? My original plan was a single 12" Velodyne, but when I was ready to buy it, they stopped making them. Peter hunted down 2 of the last 4 in North America for me! The sound is very difficult to describe. It really doesn't sound like regular subwoofers. I guess you really have to hear it to believe it

I am having major trouble trying to install the front stage. The Dynaudio MD130 (4" tweeter) and MW170 (8" Mid) are freakin' huge! If anyone has any ideas about where I could mount them please pass them along!

I got the silver one like you. Can't wait to get everything hooked up. After Ron's latest creation (Ernie's CL) I can't wait to see what he has in mind.

If I remember correctly it would have been around $650 from the same person I bought the Brax amp & Focals from.

was that for a brand new on? If it was brand new I am VERY disappointed in you Retail on the 12" $1000, and becuase the subs were limited and highly sought after, they usually did not sell for much less then the $850-$900 range... should have jumped on that deal!

No. It was used. I couldn't afford to buy all of this stuff new. It still was a good deal even used. I just decided to go with the eclipse instead since I got them both for $450. I' not dissappointed with the Eclipse at all, I just wonder what the Velo would have sounded like.
