Im looking a replacing the factories with Cerwin Vegas. They seem to have pretty good specs for the price....

 

Front: HED-2652E

Rear: HED-162 or VEGA-6002

 

Anybody have any experience with the Vega's????

 

My 2nd and more expensive choice is Alpine

 

Front: SPS-171A or SPR-176A

Rear: SPS-170A

 

Thoughts???

Cerwin Vegas are awesome, very good speakers for low wattage (perfect if you're using the stock headunit) I've had many sets of these, I also have cerwin vegas for all my home theater speakers.

well my vega subs were awesome, only I had too much power going to them and blew them. Let us reiterate, they are wonderful for low wattage.

 

As for alpine, I have the sps 570As in my front doors, and they are wonderful, I'd highly recommend them.

i used to have some cerwin vega home audio and it was awesome. never dealt with their car audio though. i've got all alpine speakers in my truck and my fiance's car. got 4x6 plate speakers in my truck and she's got the type r 6x9s and the type r 5 1/4s. all sound great and never had any problems with them.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
