    Should I Use A Car Subwoofer In My Home Theater?

    So I had thought if I use a NVX vcw 152 in my home theater and wire it to 4 ohms and use my Crown power amp in bridged mode that can do 1550 @ 4 ohms and has a built in crossover would it be a good choice to upgrade with? I mostly listen to music and have the bass turned up loud. I am currently...

    Cerwin Vega LW15 ... Repair?

    Got a Cerwin Vega LW15 (subwoofer) yesterday for $50 but when I plugged it in the subwoofer sounded as if it had a high pass crossover at 60hz. Low bass was not hitting and voices and such were fairly clear even when the plate amps lpf/crossover was set to 40hz - its lowest position. I played...

    Subwoofer for Ohm C2s
