    Cerwin Vega Question!

    I would appreciate some opinions comparing Cerwin-Vega Hed U-321 to Cerwin-Vega R-30. My only experience is with a pair of CV VS-120s that I love. This pair would be used along with the 120's. Any help would be appreciated.

    Cerwin Vega AT-15 Moving Dilema

    Moving next week and need to decide what to do with my Cerwin Vega AT-15s (pictured below). I bought them cheap a year ago, I refoamed one woofer but the other needs a recone (I have the foam but not recone kit). All in I'm under $100 into them (I'll need to spend another $60 for a recone kit)...

    Cerwin Vega DX9 Crossover

    I just recently got ahold of some CV DX9's and they are in need of some work. I am looking to completely rebuild the crossovers on them as there are some missing pieces on the board, alongside what looks like broken coils on them. I was curious as to if a full rebuild was possible or if I would...

    Cerwin Vega AT-15 refinishing instructions?

    So... I'm getting to the point where I want to make my (still stuck in the garage) AT-15's actually look nice. Right now I'm thinking black speaker covering (is that called laminate?), but I'm open to real wood veneer as well. I'm hoping someone has done this for these monsters and has a...

    New here. **Cerwin -Vega Pron**

    he guys, figured that I'd join and say Hi. It kinda started when I got the 380se's for free when I asked a guy why they were next to a fire pit. I traded an engine and transmission for the reciever and the subwoofer and the XLS-12's and the component speakers have been pawnshop finds. My Setup...

    Hey all, I've been lurking here for a while and found myself needing some help or maybe some reassurance, advice, opinions, mockery.... So what your looking at here is a crossover for a Cerwin Vega DX-5. I've decided that the Mexican caps and whatnots have got to go and be replaced with high...

    Cerwin Vega VH-36 crossover rebuild

    Bought a pair of Cerwin Vega VH-36 speakers today and decided to rebuild the crossover. In the bottom corner, where you plug in your speaker there is also two pots. I’m assuming these are the mid and tweeter adjustments. Upon taking the back off the only electronic pieces I can find are on the...

    Cerwin Vegas VS-120 value

    Hey guys, so I recently restored a nice set of Cerwin Vega VS-120s, they're in pretty excellent shape with only a few minor Knicks and scratches on the exterior. I picked the up for $10 at a thrift store but was curious as to what their valuation would be as the prices I've seen are all over...

    Replacing old Vega D9 Fuse?

    So pretty sure I overpowered my Cerwin Vega D9 (Singular, not plural. Just one of them...) whilst pushing some unholy power levels of volume (just past 12 o clock area.) with my Pioneer SX-1050. It's completely silent on the left (the blown one), so fairly certain it's a fuse? I saw another...

    Cerwin Vega D2 Crossover removal

    I'd like to replace the capacitors in the crossovers of my vintage D2 Cerwin Vega speakers (I purchased circa '87). In other models the crossover assembly can be removed from the outside by first removing the mounting screws. However, this model doesn't have mounting screws, see attached...

    Pleasant Surprise Marantz plus Bose

    I just pulled out a pair of Bose 401’s... yes I know and admit I have kept a set of Bose speakers since the 70’s. Anyway, I haven’t used these since 2013 or 2014. I hooked these to a Marantz MR 1170..... yes I know (dark years) but these two systems put a BIG smile on my face once I cranked them...

    Cerwin Vega D7E find.

    I bought a pair of Cerwin Vega D7E a few weeks ago. These are my first pair, and believe it or not, I have never heard a pair before! The woofer surrounds were toast, the grill fabric was in rough shape, with one dust cover on a woofer pushed in. Aside from that, they were in good condition...

    Cerwin Vega D5 - D7

    Hey fellas! Do any of the Cerwin Vega experts know if the D5 and D7 used the same woofer, mid, tweeter? What are the differences between the D5 and the D7? Thanks in advance!

    Cerwin Vega M-200, project, where to start?

    I finally may have bitten more than I can chew. Got a Cerwin Vega Metron M-200 project that will either make me or break me. I need a work bench and a scope, beer and a lot of help. I am in no hurry. (yet) Fuse was good, turned it on, made it past the protection click and the left meter lit up...

    Cerwin Vega LW12 sub

    Cerwin Vega L-9. Anyone heard of these speakers?

    Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had info on these speakers. My dad has had them since 1996 and recently gave them to me. From the sticker on the back, they say that they have a “power handling” of 100 watts, and are rated for 8 ohms. They appear to have an 8 inch woofer, and one inch...

    Marantz 140 - 2 ohm load

    Hello! I have a Marantz 140 with new main caps ( 2 x 15 000uf Mundorf) also 100% recapped and I'm wondering if I can run the 140 with my actual pair of Cerwin Vega D7 with a pair of Cerwin Vega D9 (system A + B from Marantz 3600). Am I better to add a second Marantz 140 to run the D9s? I heard...

    Unfortunately it renders the cones immobile. I wish it wasn't my brother that did this. Oh the shame.
