    Need to replace a pot on a Cerwin Vega S1 crossover

    So I've got a pair of S1s I'm refitting and the Mid attenuation pot is blueishly corroded and is measuring out of spec (22r instead of the stamped 15r) What's a replacement that will work for this? Just want to make sure I'm not buying the wrong type for the crossover's role Alternatively, if...

    Cerwin Vega D3 vs Dynaco A25 - My Impressions

    Hi all, I've been meaning to share my impressions of some Cerwin Vega D3s I picked up a couple months ago at Goodwill. For the past 6 years, my system has remained mostly unchanged with: Dynaco A25s as my main speaker, Hitachi HA 610 amp, DBX DX5 CD player (acquired this year), Kenwood KD 500...

    Cerwin Vega AT-15 Low bass?

    Hi guys, I’m pretty new to vintage audio, but I’m willing to learn so bear with me. I recently picked up a pair of Cerwin Vega AT-15s after hearing that they’re loud and have great bass. (My parents had the 250SEs when I was younger and they bumped.) I found a Carver TFM-35 to pair with them...

    reasonable price on cerwin vega at-12?

    newer to audio equipment, spent my christmas bonus on a pair of cv at-12’s (thinking mid 80’s) which i’m currently running off a harman kardon hk6500. i’m very impressed with how hard the 12” woofer thumps and really doesn’t sound too boomy for how small of a space they’re in. both cabs are in...

    AT-12 crossover question

    A good while ago, I went from "Lets fix my AT-12s cabinet rattle" to "Could I build these from scratch?" as one does. I've been aiming for as close to manufacturing as I can get but while documenting the cross fades, I noticed two things. - I can't figure out what rating the "MCI" PTC resettable...

    Cerwin Vega D3 vs AR2A

    Hey everyone! Finally getting around to replacing the Bose 301's in my main system to something better. Have the choice between a set of Cerwin Vega D3's and Acoustic Research AR2As. Both are similarly priced with the D3's in nicer shape cosmetically and having been refoamed completely. The...

    Identify that speaker

    I have never seen Cerwin Vega’s with this style of grill. I wonder if they are custom grills, a Cerwin Vega logo on non-cerwin Vega cabinets, or a logo that looks like Cerwin Vega but is actually something else. This is the only picture and it is part of an estate sale. Included in the listing...

    Cerwin Vega VS-150 Crossover Recap

    Just pulled the crossovers out of my Cerwin Vega VS-150 to recap and I noticed that all the caps are rated in MFD rather than the µF I’m used to. What would be the correct cap replacement value for the one pictured that reads 20 MFD 100V? I am also curious if I only need to replace the 3...

    I need some advice from the speaker builders here. I have reacquired my old pair of Cerwin Vega VS-120 speakers and they need some major work. The cabinets (boxes) are trashed and will need rebuilding. The 12" drivers both need tinsel lead replacement and refoam, neither of which is really a...
