Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Yes, i need to measure the woofer. 12 ohm sound VERY strange though.

So, did a quick temp hookup. QSC CX702 (one channel) fed from sub out (cross over at 50 Hz) to passive Velodyne DD-15.  Very tight.  Surprised: The QSC (class H) driving 1 channel only has clipping light coming on at higher (not crazy, but loud)...

Yes, EBC (Matt) already received the amp.  I made a back plate (with speaker cable pass through) to seal up the enclosure (RTV silicone around the speaker cable, used existing screws). RTV should be hard now, so will test tonight if enclosure 'hol...

Now an unrelated question: my main system (audio, TV) is in an extremely larger volume room (2 1/2 stories high, open on 2 sides to other 2 1/2 story foyer, and one story dining room and kitchen (guessing 1800 sqft plus big volume). I use Dayton U...

WayTooMuchStuff: Will run it as passive with external amp until EBC sends the amp back. Put the back plate on, need to seal up (silicone) the speaker cable pass through hole. Then get the Class D amp and plug it in, see what happens.

  rwwear: this is what I actually have 'sitting on the shelf', reserved for my 'resurrection project Infinity Quantum 2'. Goal is to tri amp (feed the 2 coils of the Watkins woofer with class D, low/mid class A/B, high/EMIT with tube or class A) ...

I think you misunderstood: The Behringer (1000W or so into 8 ohm, 2000 into 4 ohm) external amp is driving the 15" Velodyne, signal to Behringer is the sub out from the receiver (and using the receivers low pass). Pretty sure the Behring can provi...

Package the plate amp up and shipping to EBC (NJ) today. Made a seal plate (not finished) and will run the sub with Behringer EP2000 direct from sub out of receiver until the Velodyne amp comes back.

So not just software, but associated "plus" hardware = not applicable for DD15.    
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
So if fixed, get the new "plus" software for the 'non plus' DD?  
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
My Eureka moment actually came when I selected 'small' for my front speakers (even so they are BIG floor standing speakers) and send everything below 50 to the sub. Not sure WHY it sound SO MUCH better, likely because the receiver does not have to...

Thanks rwwear. Paul from EBC (thank you for replying !!!) commented regarding the suspicious caps "they are not leaked. it is a glue the manufacture used to hold them in place. it degraded over the time and became cranchy but should not be an iss... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  rwwear is it possible (photos above) that the 2 small leaked caps in the incoming small power board are the issue? $370 for NEW (??) amp would certainly be the way to go; will contact them how much shipping within Germany is (and then see if I ...
