I need some Identification help on this audio setup

perzbenz · 11th October 2007, 05:53 AM

I believe the woofer is a Cerwin Vega. Whats the rest of it? Iv been trying to figure this out for a long awhile now. Any ideas?

Thanks.

That is a Cerwin Vega "stroker" sub, on the left and right hand side panels are custom made passive crossovers, on the vertical wall is a pair of Phoenix Gold Stiffening capacitor units that were mounted inside amplifier heatsinks that matched up with the MS series of amps (from memory) and at a guess though it is hard to see I would say that the amp is a Phoenix Gold MS-xxx.....

I'm doubting it is a stroker.

1st, it has a different top spider. (CV uses flat top spiders)
2nd, the frame is chromed. (I don't think chrome is the fad when strokers came out)
3rd, the surround is also different. (the orig stroker uses corrugated surrounds from PA sub designs from what I recall)
4th, there's no nipple.

(the 'nipple' is where you adjust the front spider position)

probably an audiobahn modded to have a front spider?

or that this is indeed a CV but I have never seen a stroker that looks like this.

if its not a stroker, then it may be an earthquakes balls (or different series), planet audio also made a sub with a top spider.

but if that car is using amps from that era, stroker would be the closest thing in that time frame.

planet audio used to make a stroker knock off as well. I believe it was called the FU series
