This ought to be loud...

My Cerwin Vega Strokers just showed up. Thank God for ebay! I found these old school gems for sale for $190 each, shipped. Brand new, in original packaging. I am sure there are newer, louder subs out there, but IMO old school don't get much better than this!

Anyhow, most of you have read my introduction thread and know my intentions, these are all going in the back of a ford bronco. I will be running all PG amps, and probably all PG ZP interconnects if I still have enough in my boxes of goodies. Once I get it off the ground, I will share the install with all of you as well.

The only thing I did not account for, is the subs are dual 2ohm coils. I did not realize that CV ever made the old school strokers in dual 2 ohm configuration. The date on the subs is 2000, and I guess I didn't realize they made this style stroker for that long either. No biggie in the end, it will allow more wiring flexibility.

So, here are the pics of the new additions to my collection...

Later,
Jason

Man I had a dual 2 15" version in the back of a probe one time and it was painful. Had a mmats amp on it back in the day (dont remember which one). Had to have been back in 1996.

Yeah, I miss getting loud too.

I find in my old age (Turned 30 last august) that I will hear some snotty kid go boomin' down the road, and think, I wish he'd turn that crap down, he's gonna wake my kids...

I don't typically have the bass cranked non stop like I did when I was a kid. My current system will jam though, and I find a lot of times I just want to rock for a bit. It is always nice to have it there, even if you don't use it all the time. And it will be fun to put the little kids to shame at a stop light

The setup in the bronco is going to include 5.1 dds for those on the road movies, so the subs will be cool for that too

I have had a saved ebay search set up for the last 3 months watching for O/S strokers. I saw one set of beat to hell 15d4's go through for $400 BIN and then the next set of o/s ones to go through were these. The guy is selling overstock from somewhere and drop shipping them. He had 8 12's for sale when I bought these, and 4 15's. Might still have some subs if other are looking. His ebay user name is tempo5ohe.
