i used to love my cerwin vega sub, the sound it gave was delightful. but the SOB has given me too much grief. ive had to pull it out of its box 4 times for repairs

the first time it cut out while i was driving, i pull the sub out, to find this plastic gooey stuff on the terminals had melted onto the wires going to the spider. so i took all the crap off and reattached the wires onto the terminal.

ran sweet for a while, then cut out again. pull it out again this time and found with the multimeter the wires from the box werent didnt give continuity. so i soldered the box wire straight onto the spider wire on the terminal, and again it worked sweet for a while.

again it cut out, pulled it apart and found the spider wire was too short and had been snapped from the cones movement, so i extended the wire and resoldered and it worked awesome.

and now its cutting out, intermittently, when i go over bumps.. i took it out again and cant find the problem, FFS whats with the build quality of this US POS ! /end rant

btw anyone know any decent sub suppliers, other then JB or strathfield..

When I used to have subs and stuff in my VL and pulsar I had MTX for years maybe you can give a MTX sub and (or) amp a try.

all these people that are telling you to get rid of it, must not have heard vega before. I got one in my car, and love it as well.

Check on ebay, you can sometimes pick them up from there.

If your just after a new sub, there is Doran Pro Audio, Fairfield Car Radio, Sound Master, FHRX, Car Audio Excellence all around that will be happy to sell you something I'm sure.

As for brands; JL is in my gfs car and I like that too.
