Horrible

I bought this cerwin vega vmax to match my hifonics amp which was rms at 1100 and the sub at 1200. I had it for about a month and burned out on me. Even when I was getting it installed the guy said the rms wasn't true so I basically overpowered the sub and lost 130 dollars. Just note that the rms isn't true and don't be fooled.

Vega fan for life!

I bought this sub only because the name and the fact that I have had 2 Cerwin Vega DX9s in my house for 22 years and just had to re-foam them. I was so impressed with the reliability and the "vega sound", I said what the heck, I give them a try on car audio....... WOW! This thing is a beast! Clear, crisp and very powerful. I paired it with the Cerwin Vega 1200 Wattt stealth amp wired down to 1 Ohm, also used two set of the Vega 6.5 on the 250/2 vega amp wired down to 2 Ohm. System Rocks. Thinking about doing a similar setup in one of my other cars .I will update if the durability level changes. only rated this a 4 on the ease of use because this is actually about a 12.5" speaker and did not mount in the standard sealed box that I had lying around. Not complaining, and no, they can't have it back!
