In-wall subs

[ottaone]

I have a HTD whole house audio system with six zones and I'm planning on adding in-wall subs in a couple of zones - kitchen, dining, and study.

Any recommendation for a good value in-wall sub and an amp to power it?

TIA

I don't have any options to consider, but...I really would not go in-wall sub myself. I have found sub positioning to be critical to having the sub sound right. In wall fixes it to 1 spot. I would not do that. That's just me, though.

Thanks Mark. I'm just adding a bit of oomph to the eight-inch ceiling speakers for background listening.

Velodyne is my preference.
I would visit their website and see what’s new in the architectural department, since you need to go that route.

Just a Velodyne follow up.
I went to the site to get the latest, but at the moment it’s down.
Perhaps California fell into the ocean 🌊 over the weekend??
Worth looking once the site is running.

Bass can indeed add "oomph", but it can also get boomy. That's what I would worry about with in-wall. For me, I've found room positioning alters whether there is a boomy sound to bass or not. I'd hate to go to the trouble of mounting in-wall then have it sound boomy. Any option to add a small in-room sub that just tucks away somewhere almost un-noticed?
