if you don't yet, you'll probably have to use a HPF (high pass filter) so your sub will stay clean sounding. warped records, however small the warp, are not good for the health of a sub that goes as low as the pc-12+

i got the same sub and love it. :-)

Thanks for the heads up on the HPF, I wouldn't have thought of that. The system I'm planning to run it with is the Axiom/Velodyne in my living room. The Velodyne cuts off around 25 hz-would you recommend an HPF for it?

PTPlayers, if you don't mind my asking, how much did you snag that Rega P3 for?

i sure don't know about the particulars of this combination; you should ask more knowledgeable people than me.
maybe you could try some tests;
play a disc on your turntable at low vol. levels, and see if the driver moves in accordance with the speed of the disc and see if the movement stops when you lift the tonearm.
if that happens, then no need to try at higher vol. levels, you definitely need a HPF, because more warped and/or playing louder will make matters worse.
warped records can drive subwoofers to their max excursion and you will not hear it nor feel it.

Correction: i should have written: play a disc that has a low average recording level...
