old school Cerwin Vega

[FBeers]

Does anybody have a owners manual for old school Cerwin Vega le15. I'm looking to see what size box these need and if they need ported or sealed any help would be appreciated thanks.

Do you have a photo of what it looks like and an approximate year range that model was made?

I’ll also add that, if it is really old, it might be worth emailing Cerwin Vega and ask them if they have a copy of the manual.

Yes this is a rare possibility, but I contacted Maxxsonics / Autotek for a manual for a sub that was even before Maxxsonics time, and they were able to locate it in their files and email me a copy of it. Kicker did the same, and I think Crunch as well for a super old pair of The Crunch 10’s I had. Its very hit or miss contacting companies, but I always suggest at least trying.

They are the le15s 4ohm I believe they came out in late 80s and early 90s. ive contacted Cerwin Vega before about my strokers and they didn't have any info because it switched owners a couple times.

I could be wrong, but wasn't the LE a home/pro subwoofer? That's a pretty old sub.

I believe they did have a home le version but the ones I have are the le car subs. I think these were their first car subs they came out before their xl series, the magnet says 1989 on them.

Is that 4.76 for each sub or both?

For dual LE15s subs, tuned to 33Hz, it's a pretty big box, but not out of the ordinary range for 15s. I would add at least one additional baffle if not two. That would add to the outside dimensions for the box listed here.

Box External Dimensions Width x Height x Depth	46.00" x 18.00" x 28.11"
Material Thickness	0.75"
Net Internal Volume	8.50 ft3
Tuning Frequency	33 Hz
Port Area	136.00 inch2
Port Inlet Width x Height	8.24" x 16.50"
Port Length	25.34"
