A Distinguished Look with Cerwin-Vega's VEGA Series Subwoofers

When you look at the VEGA122.2 and see a bright red rubber surround, you instantly know it can only be the infamous Cerwin-Vega VEGA series subwoofer. The VEGA series subwoofers are the most recognizable Cerwin-Vega subwoofers and are available in an 8", 10", 12" and 15" size woofer. With each size having the option of either a Dual 2 ohm or Dual 4 ohm voice coil. With this many available sizes and different voice coil impedance the possibilities are endless and the VEGA series subwoofers are sure to satisfy any bass reproduction need. VEGA woofers have a power rating of 500 watts peak and 250 watts of continuous RMS power. The woofers feature a composite polypropylene design that offers perfect weight to strength ratio to increase the durability of the subwoofers and improve performance. Its rubber surround allows for high amounts of excursion, while the rolled aluminum former increase thermal capabilities to improve power handling. 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. The VEGA series subwoofers really are the "face" of Cerwin-Vega and for this reason have been designed and manufactured to reproducing rich, full and tight bass for any type of music and in any type of vehicle.

I recommend these i own the exact version but two 10" subs in my home audio system and these subs sound good with any kid of music you listen to. I listen to all kinds and they have very hard hitting bass. I bet they would sond awesome in a car or truck they been around a long time and sound as good as they did way back.

Pros: nice look, well built and hard hitting bass

Con: none
