Cerwin Vega? Should I...?

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 325 Registered: Aug-05 | Ok, I'm in a pickle. I hear everyone talking about RE, JL, and everything else like IDQ, DD, and so forth. What I never hear is anyone who uses Cerwin Vega subs. I've found their home audio speakers to have very nice SQ at low and very high levels. I checked RealmofExcursion.com, and listened to a few of the videos with their old model VMAX's, and one in particular features a pair of them in a sealed enclsure while playing Late Night Tip. They are powered by a Carver ZR-1600 power amp. Carver being equivalent if not better than JL in it's respective home audio status. But regardless, would I be wasting my money to invest in a couple of the VMAX's? Has anyone had experience with these woofers? I ran the music from the sample video off the site from my computer to my home stereo, and the subs seemed to sound good regardless of recording quality. Heck, they sounded very good even on my computer speakers! I'm looking more at their 2004 model of the VMAX rather than their 2005 model, as it's RMS power exceeds what my A8000T can accurately put out. Someone who knows, or anything, about their car audio please let me know. Like I said, I love their home stuff... |

No, i dont believe you would be wasting your money on them, and even glasswolf has a couple cerwin vega subs in one his jeep grand cherokees i believe. Trust me, if glasswolf is using a cerwin vega sub, i completely believe they make a quality product. Like i said before, i havent heard them, but i have heard many good things about them, especially the vmax series |

They've handled everything ive thrown at em and with 20mm of Xmax, they look pretty p-i-m-p when they're at full excursion ive had no regrets with mine if u need the specs on em, e-mail or add me on MSN at A_ManY3m@hotmail.com i dont think they're anywhere on the internet i had to get em straight from CV |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 355 Registered: Aug-05 | Sounds like a plan, but I'll be using sealed. But the subs say they are designed for a sealed box, or VEGA ported enclosure. So I'm good. I still think I'm gonna go with the older model though...It looks cooler lol, and I don't have 1200W RMS for a pair of the new ones :'( |
