Award Winning Cerwin-Vega VMAX Subwoofers

VMAX series subwoofers, like the VMAX122, 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.

Best Woofer I Ever Had Just Put Them On A Ported For Best Performance I Have 2 Of Them On A Sound Storm 1OHM Stable 2600 Bang

Crazy loud

I have two cerwin vega V-Max122's in a ported box running 900 rms(450 rms to each) and they are incredibly loud. Everything in my car moves when i get a good hit. Great value for a reasonable price, and very loud. I highly recommend this sub to anyone who is looking for loud and good quality base.

P.S. my two cerwin vega V-Max's are louder than my friend's 15" power acoustic MOFO. & he had it running on a 3000 watt amp at 1700 watts rms.

Crazy loud

This thing is almost to loud. I actually wish I would have gone with a 10". I am using a sealed box & I know most people dont use that so maybe that is adding to it. All in all its an amazing sub, I have always bought Cerwin-Vega & will continue to.

Graet speakers

I ordered 4 12"CERWIN VEGA MAX 122's(subwoofers) for my sound system in my trunk of my caddy and they beat hard as I expected. CERWIN VEGA MAX 122's are the bomb and I highly reccomend these subs for you audio system. SonicELECTRONIX has the price to meet your needs and the warranty to match. A+ in my book

beasts of subwoofers.

I have 2 installed in a ported bass slammer box running a PA BAMF 4000/1D amp at 2 ohms total resistance. I've tested them on music at 154db's in car. But when you dont want to blow out your ear drums they are musical and crisp even in a ported configuration. Most other subs in this price range are sloppy and cant keep up with electronic music or fast rock beats. These win my approval and beat out MTX, Alpine, RF, Pioneer, and Kicker for the price.

Great Value Sub

I ran this for my friend in a 1.3 cubic foot vented box with polyfil. Hits harder and deeper than his old solobaric.
I have had 2 other people buy the same setup off me since then.
Great sub. Great price. Amazing construction. And super strong voice coils.
Highly recommended!

L0ud as hell!

The following review is for VMAX122.2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have just one of these subs in my single cab ford ranger! With it hooked to a crunch 1050.2 amp its pushing 500 rms and 1000 max and this sub shakes my truck like crazy! Best 100 bucks iv ever spent! Outperforms the kicker 12 inch l5 it replaced. Hits low INCREDIBLY hard in my ported box and the highs as well! Friend recommended this sub and i Have NOTHING bad to say at all! Had for around 6 months now and still kicking as much ass as when i first got it!
