Bronze Member Username: Dabeast34Post Number: 22 Registered: Sep-04 | Ive been told by a lot of people on this site that both the Cerwin Vegas and the Adire Shiva are both good subs that i will get good sq and spl out of, i was wondering which one of these is a better sub and which one is a better deal, here is their info Adire http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofer_drivers/adire_shiva / Cerwin Vega http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13950 I know that the Cerwins are a little cheaper but if it is worth paying a little more for the Shivas let me know, so if you could look at both of these and tell me which one is a better brand and a better buy -Thanks- |

Bronze Member Username: Dabeast34Post Number: 23 Registered: Sep-04 | So the shivas are a better deal for what i am getting, even though they are a little more expensive? because i am lookin at buyin 2 12" subs. What makes the shivas better than the Cerwins though? |

Post Number: 247 Registered: May-04 | for you this wont matter. but for anyone else looking into buying 1 of these 2 subs. if you are only getting 1 12" or w/e size instead of 2, then the V-Max would be to your advantage if price has any bearing on your choice. The Shiva only comes in a dual 8 ohm which means you would either need a 300w @ 4 ohm mono amp or a 300w @ 4 ohm bridged 2-channel amp. for the v-max you only need a 300w @ 2ohm mono amp which is usually alot cheaper than either of the other choices. |

Bronze Member Username: Dabeast34Post Number: 25 Registered: Sep-04 | well i am planning on getting two 12" does that mean that i would have to look into a different amp than the ones that you have mentioned if i were to get two 12" instead of just one? |

Silver Member Username: Iamduff_87Michigan America! Post Number: 253 Registered: May-04 | nope. i said if u get 2 it doesnt matter. i was just stating that incase someone read upon this and wanted only 1. |

Bronze Member Username: Dabeast34Post Number: 33 Registered: Sep-04 | oh ok i got it so getting two of the v-max wont matter, even though they are the svc version, or will this limit the choices i have on amp selection? |

Bronze Member Username: SqmanMidhurst, Ontario Canada Post Number: 16 Registered: Aug-04 | No, two subs running at 4 ohm can produce either 4 ohm x 2 (2 imputs into your box, one for each speaker) or combined parallel to make 2 ohm, or series to make 8 ohm. Dual voice coil will just give you more choices....but also complicates thigs a little. have dual imputs @ 4 ohm each and run a stereo amp, or a single imput @ 2 ohm and run a monoblock amp. |
