Customer Testimonial

After a few issues with one of my orders, it has been completely resolved to my total satisfaction by Larsen. Too often complaints fall on deaf ears but Sonic has proven to be customer focused. Companies grow by customer service. Word of mouth is the best and/or worst marketing tool you can have.

Award Winning Cerwin-Vega VMAX Subwoofers

VMAX series subwoofers, like the VMAX104, has been the most popular, award-winning, series of Cerwin-Vega subwoofers for the last 10 years for many reasons. The series of subwoofers are offered in a 10", 12", and 15" size with each respective size having the option of a Dual 2 ohm or Dual 4 ohm voice coil. They offer a power rating of 1000 watts peak and 500 watts of continuous RMS power making them your daily "ground-pounders". With these many different sizes and impedance options, these woofers offer versatility and a significant amount of bass that is sure to fit anyone's bass needs. The woofers feature a composite polypropylene cone and a wider larger than normal rubber surround for increased excursion level, performance, quality, and strength. The use of O2 Cast technology increases basket strength and lowers basket resonance, which also increases the quality and performance of the subwoofers. The woofers also feature cross-flow window venting that reduces voice coil temperatures and radial contact convex domes that reduce cone flex and minimize distortion. If you want to achieve exceptional low-frequency reproduction that is accompanied by quality manufacturing and amazing value, look no further than the Cerwin-Vega VMAX series subwoofers.

I ownded this sub for many years and I never regret it. I made a sealed enclosure up to specs and it produced very clean bass with great lows. Too bad my mechanic "misplaced" something on the cone and has a big hole in it... Looking for a replacement, thinking of two Idmax 12". But for someone that doesn't have that much space and still wants a nice sounding subwoofer than this is it!

This was a great product, hit really well and sounded crisp. Unfortunately after bumping it for 6 months the cone separated from the surrounding. Sending it in now for the warranty.
