    I'm 43 and I remember these back I'm the say they were honestly the unicorn of subwoofers and changed the bass community showing SPL could also be SQ if done right. Brings back so many memories.

      Dude 42 hear and I just stole acquired a 15 from my older brother's garage. I was so excited but it was pretty toasty. I can't wait for the new coil replacement kit. My 2011 Sierra is abut to loos a rear seat for sure.

      @@garc5a1944lol 41 here. Loudest vehicle I ever step foot in was a limo they turned into a sPL vehicle. It has 6 18s of these. 12 amps. 2 to each sub. Of the bigggest dogs kicker had at the time. Think they were called the XS1000 or zr1000 but wild.

    Cerwin Vega Stroker was extremely popular back in like mid 90's and for a reason. Miss these older sub manufactures. I wish they would bring back the Fosgate Power series t1 and t2's with the aluminum plated cone. Fosgate if you are listening.

    Hell yeah I remember those. The first sub that could handle the loaded horn bandpass 7th order. And extremely efficient. Massive SPL for little power. 1 18" will blow the window out with ease. Basically combining a stadium sub with car audio and making the best of both worlds. I came into the game when Jensen was American owned, Blaupunkt was one of the big guys, MTX Bluethunders were the shiznitz, and PPI 25x2 and 50x2 were the big boy amps. Oh, and don't forget the new tech, poly propylene subs just came out and there were even clear subs to show this off. Yeah, back in the day stuff.

    This brings it back this is where it all began for me. Back when I was like 14 in the mid-2000s my cousin's friend he went to high school with had a mini truck with 2 cerwin Vega stroker 12 and a punch 1000 on it and let me tell you that pop my cherry and I was hooked from then on
    And JP all I got to say is I've been following you for like over 10 years bro you come a long way you're definitely reaching the top man. Congrats on all the success

    Just bought a Vega Stroker 12" about 6 months ago. 1000RMS I have it hooked up to a old school Rockford 1501BD at 2 ohms and its AWESOME!
    Was a little worried buying new Vega stuff because I heard they arent the same as the good old days but I'm very satisfied with it!
    Cerwin Vega is underrated now adays.

    Dude im 35 its 2020 and those are the truth. Those are super old school but anywho thanks Uncle Doug is the reason i got into car audio real car audio focusing on mids and highs before the lows. My unc had a 79 cutlass 10 kicker in a 4 order box pioneer mids highs and hu. That thing use to beat up the block but you could hear everything anywho. In the 90s he got a burban with those strokers on some us amps kenwoods mids and highs that thing scared me back then. Man i miss those days. R.I.P uncle Doug shout out to Price. Hope i get a demo next tour

And then when I actually HEARD them!?.... HOLY HECK THEY WERE INSANELY LOUD!!!!

    First time I saw those was around 1996. We drove to a sound competition in Pennsylvania from Bronx, NY. My boy had all Lanzar shit and thought he was the man until A Suzuki Samurai pulled in the lane with four Strokers. That thing was the loudest system I had ever heard in my life, back then. Dude ended up winning the SPL competition.
