Anyone using Cervin Vega sub?

Is there anyone out there who has a CV sub? I heard them, the CV speakers in a home system once and nothing came close to it in quality and loudness. I should say awesome was too little a word to describe it. I was wondering if it is same in the car audio world as well. I'm now looking for a real (real) good sub and/or amp.

CV holds a much better place in home systems than in mobile audio. and personally i like CV's older stuff to their newer speakers.

Thanks for the info. That clears my search for CVs for my vehicle.

CV makes real decent home, car and pro speakers.  They are in the process of redoing their car line, and their lastest speakers are impressive.  They have won more competition and awards in car audio than in home, just finding the car stuff is a little harder.

Always willing to post a pic of my CV sub...and it sounds really good.  But then, markcars, I might have liked that Alpine type R too!

hey stevdart,
can you please post the picture again? I can't see it, sorry.   Also Im now doing some testing with my alpine but cant find where I hid my power supply.

I didn't realize it only shows up on my computer.  Guess I can't figure out how to do it.

You may have to upload the file from your C:\documents and Settings\Steve's documents\My Pictures\Web\DSC00001.jpg onto this site by clicking on the third icon from the right. It is the icon that says "Upload Image" when you put the mouse on it and wait for about half a second. (We call that a bubble or a "ToolTip").

OK, thanks for the schooling.

Thanks. That looks like one kick ass machine. Where did you get the speaker grills from? I like the bars you got. And is that a 12 or 15 inch? I can't tell by looking. And how deep is the box?
Looks very good.

I'll try asking my local shop to demo me a CV if they have one.

Thanks for the compliment.  Parts Express sells the grill bars, and they are very heavy-duty.   The sub is 12", the box is 10.25" deep, 15" at the high point, 8" at the low point,18.5" at the base, 8" of flat top.  Air with speaker is .88 ft^3.  Not many people would take this sub seriously for SQ; it's priced quite low.  But I like the sound, and 200 watts rocks my car all I need.  I put the angle on the box to fit deep into the trunk, and it fires from the side into the center of the trunk.

Nice subs, i run 4 12's of the same model, though it is CV's entry line speaker, very clean sound, tight and great response. Our shop deals CV, and I chose these because I wanted a sealed enclosure, as I listen to rock, and I like the tightness of a sealed enclosure vs. the looseness and boominess of a ported. But the new VMAX subs can be used in either.

Who picked up CV after they went bankrupt a couple years ago. We used to carry them but the company went belly up. Im kinda interested who started the line up again. Or mabye they never went under and Im on a big dose of funny leaves, I dunno.

never went under. I don't know where that would have come from, lol, The guy that designed the Stroker is now an engineer for Fosgate, but that is among the biggest of any changes.

I know that as a company we dropped them because the Cerwin was, as they said, "In Financial Peril" meaning that if someone didnt buy in they were going under. Obviously the peril wasnt that serious or someone bought in. Im pretty sure that a company that big isnt gonna be able to hide its numbers from a chain as large as FS so I am guessing on the buy in option

Cerwin Vega was closed for 2 hours to confirm inventory.  They were sold to Stanton Audio (ya, of the cartrige fame), it seems to fit well with their other "pro audio" and allows for divertions into home and car.   S.F. Marketing in Montreal is the Canadian distributor.
