I was just wondering if anyone had put Cerwin Vega subs in a Maxima. I am installing two 12" Cerwin Vega Vega series subs in mine this weekend. I will be pushing them with a 600w Sony ES amp. I hadn't heard Cerwin Vega bump before just a couple of weeks ago, but I love their sound. They are very deep and very clear. I'm sure they will slam like hell!

 

i have a 12" Vega sitting in my basement thought about putting it in... but i must agree i love them they sound so deep.. and crystal clear... not like MTX and stuff that aren't quite as clear as i like.

 

You are so very right!! I installed two 12" vegas in my max yesterday.... I love them! A friend gave me a box of his that he made for a silverado extended cab. It doesn't fit worth a sh*t! I have one sub in the trunk and one halway sticking into my back seat, and it is still loud as h*ll. I'm working on a new box for my trunk right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

mke sure you chk. cerwin's site on the exact cubiv volume they want to sound the best... i don't know off hand..but glad you like them... i loved mine when it was in my truck... and i just am not sure if i should go through the hassle in the max since i have a bose system that sounds good as is.

 

Do you know if Vega 124D4 subs would work in a bandpass box? I'm a little confused as to what the exact cubic volume should be. The Cerwin Vega site has all these equations and sh*t. I was thinking about just buying a dual bandpass box off of www.speakerhole.com. Please tell me what you think.

 

i dont have any experience with vega car audio stuff......but i got a for of their block party speakers and THEY ROCK!

 

i have the VS120 home theater speakers and they kick a$$

The have cracked the glass in a dorm room i once lived in @ 20hz

@ 10 or 15 hz you quit breathing and they breath for you! heheheh

CV makes a hell of a sub.

i wouldn't use the d4's in bandpass you will blow the voice coils... they have enough sound that they don't need a bandpass to sound good like msot subs do... just run straight sealed or ported box (depending on the type of sound you are looking for)

 

doesnt CerwinVega Reccomend a Vented(bass-reflex) enclosure for their subs?

It only has information on the Cerwin Vega website about ported boxes. Do you think that they would work ok in a sealed box. Also, if I used sealed or ported, how big of a box should I get.

 

they work fine in a sealed box my bro has one in his truck... it is like 3cubic feet i think (may be wrong i will chk later) and it sounds damn good! not as good as in a car (very very noisy off-road beast 86 ford f-150 lifetd and all) but still sweet!

 

cerwin's are fun!!!! - but i think rockfords have better clarity.....just my $0.02

 

I really need a solid answer to my questions. I plan on ordering a box Thursday. I would like to have a sealed box but only if it works well with Vega's. If not I would like to know where I could buy a dual 12" ported box.
