JBL JRX 125 vs. Cerwin Vega V253

Interesting Info.

if your mate is looking for something similar again, hunt down some MR's or Sr's, MR825's or 925's often sell for as little as £150 a pair (and the compression drivers alone in them are worth about £100 a pair second hand value, especially the ones in the 925 as they are the same as eon's!) or a while back i sold some 12" + 1" jbl sr-x (can't remember the model) for about £300 for the pair, even as a 12" when fed with 600w RMS the sr 12" model wipes the floor with a 15" JRX and will even almost produce as much bass as the dual 15" but will sound tighter and smoother especially on the top end.... gotta bear in mind the 2206hpl driver used in the SRX series is more of a sub driver and has a 8mm X-max verses the JRX drivers which are about 4mm! other budget cabs worth looking at that will also eniliate JRX's...... Celestion (very under-rated) and NJD (even more underrated! if you get NJD with celestion drivers @ 600w rms (each) they rival JBL srx, and a 15" + cdx celestion horn loaded cab can sell for as little as £200 a pair on ebay) also worth looking out for DAS gear, often referred to as the spanish version of EV, & if your after speakers for dance music (i assume most people looking at this thread are, as this is a dual 15" + horn topic) DARE AUDIO produce some amazing speakers for dance music, which often have B & C, celestion or JBL components in them, thou sadly they are often made from MDF and suffer water damage, so simply copying the cab and re-building them in ply and re-using the drivers can be a great way to go..... dare gear often sells for much less that you could even dream of buying the components for :s

i bought the cerwin 252's insted of jrx series, never had a problem with any of the horns....took a right hammering weekly from my pv2600 amp n sounded great mid and top but no real bass deliverance from bottom 15 driver.. had nowt but problems with the cerwin 152's tho wi blowing horns..... I STAY AWAY FROM CERWINS NOW! the older cabs im not sure?? but im tipping JBL will beat em hands down

If you can pick a pair up cheap second hand they are not too bad for the price, but new, no way. I have had quite a bit of use out of mine and they have done a good job for most things.

And going downhill.
