Members Final Wave Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Has anyone tried (or heard) the new Cerwin-Vega folded horns yet? I.E; Models AB-36C, JE-36C, and EL-36C series. I'm curious how they sound, in particular the JE-36C, since it is similar in size to the powered subs I am presently looking at purchasing. ~Wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mogwix Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 The C-W subs I've heard sounded like crap. If you like the loose, one-note woof of [cheap] folded horns they'll do you fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mshifflett Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 folded horns they'll do you fine. I agree. There is a DJ around our Area that uses 2 of these things per side and the low end has no character at all. It is just one big rumble. Hopefully they have improved on things with these new boxes.

Members tlbonehead Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm guessing user error. The Earthquakes are capable of sound very nice and giving lots of output/box. Used 2/side you should be able to have pretty flat response into the lower 40s area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
