Cerwin Vegas, Music and Harry

So, many of you may know that I got the Cerwin Vega speakers Harry brought down to CarverFest last year. He tells me you guys had them cranking.

I say not so - I had them cranking yesterday and blew both speaker fuses at one time....So, did you guys really have it cranking or did you just turn up the batteries in your hearing aides?

Jesus - I didn't even have it loud by my standards.


Apparently, someone doesn't know what loud is. Better get a stockpile of fuses now - I am sure won't be the last time....

Are they slo-blow or fast blow fuses?

A slo-blow can get toasty over time with repeated beatings then give up the ghost at a lower volume than would normally blow....

Either way, glad they were FUSED & that it wasn't anything catastrophic~

they were slo-blow.....and no excuses for the whole "over time crap". I got ribbed for having it too loud? You guys may know systems - but you don't know LOUD - that's for sure lol.

I keep hearing how they were cranking at Carverfest lol. Now, I had them cranking, what you guys listen to them on volume level 2?


and I am especially glad only that as well.


I guess you can say that men THINK they can smoke some speakers - but it takes a lady to blow them two at a time - and do it right. I's got talent lol.

Glad to hear it was something simple. You're lucky they have fuses, fixing blown speakers can be time consuming and some times pretty expensive.

Yes simple - this time.

As far being more difficult - I will save that for next time.

I am getting some shit about weaking the fuses at Carverfest. I guess we will know IF they blow again...

um, not to be a pain,
you my want to check the DCmv's that amp is throwing out.
very easy to check.

just saying

yeah yeah yeah you guys come up with al the excuses - lol - Harry checked it out today when he found out I blew fuses. Thats how the whole - you have it too loud came to be. Iguess you guys like a whisper lol.

he check the Mv offset? should be less than 20Mv, but it maybe a bit higher
also has the bias been checked? .
these have pots that drift over time.

Shortcake

Glad you got it sorted out

Not liking the sound coming from my speakers...

I don't think they are used to music without the Boom boom boom.

Then crank em up!!!

Absolutely! Never a question in my mind.

Buck Cherry sounds good, so does Theory of a Deadman and GodSmack - and I in that kind of mood today (at least for the next hour or so, before I revert back to some dance music) - so will just stay away form the Eagles, which caused the problem in the first place.
