What is this speaker?

[briancol 3]

I am upgrading the sound system in my car and recently scored this sub woofer.

OK it's a 12" Cerwyn Vega but I need to know exactly which model it is so that I can get the correct box and amplifier for it.

I know it is a twin coil speaker rated at I would say 1000-1200 watts, bit the only identifying mark on the speaker is VMAX 124 plus of course the Cerwyn Vega name.

Can anyone here help please.

The article says the manufacturer recommends either:

20L sealed box

or

28.3L vented with 2x 90mmdia x 660mm long vents.

Very small boxes = fairly decent quality sub.

I'd just go with the recommendations as I can't find enough info to do my own design properly

I have the exact same Sub in a slot ported box. Wired parallel so running at 2 ohms off a DD SS1 monoblock.

Look for an amp that does at least 600 watts RMS at 2 ohms. Monoblock preferred.

OR you can run each voice coil off a 2/4 channel amp. Look for at least 300 watts RMS/ channel at 4 ohms if this is the case.

or a very sweet deal on a new amp:

Before anyone bags Soundmagus. Its fine. Its not cheap china crap. Id rate it with the Jaycar amps.

Can put you in touch with a mate that makes boxes to spec if you like?

And if you need anyhelp wiring up, I can help with that. For BEER!
