    I use a Velodyne DLS-R 3750 and absolutely love it. Never tried the Polk but the Velodyne quality is really nice.

    I HAVE the Velodyne DSP 12 - AWESOME sub. I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING!

    set it to the classical (flat/standard) mode and forget it. The other DSP settings are jokes. Welcome to Club Polk.

    How would either sub compare to a $300ish entry Hsu (ie VTF), eD, or SVS sub?

    most here would go with the HSU or SVS over Velodyne/anything else. I've heard neither, so I wouldn't know.

    exactly, the other settings make the sub sound way too boomy. Also, the volume buttons on the front is a joke. All you have is a flashing light to tell you how loud it is.

    I just picked up this sub and so far it's pretty good. My question is which input should I use from the receiver to the sub? I have a single sub output(rca) from my receiver but my sub has two rca inputs for right and left, which makes no sense to me as its a sub. I guess if I use the RCA inputs I will have to pick up a single rca to double cable. Either way I am wondering if one is better sound quality over the other? the Speaker level input or the line input? thanks.

    I own the HSU VTF-1 which is a bit more than your budget but if it's an indicator of the other subs then you won't be disappointed at all. My HSU VTF-1 sub is very musical and has wall rattling bass with practically zero (false) boom unless you are in another room.

    I meant if the cheaper HSU subs sound close to as good as the HSU VTF-1 then he won't be disappointed with a cheaper one...ie the HSU STF-1 which is closer to original posters price range.
