    Did you see these cast horns?

    This is the first time I've seen dual throat cast horns....... would they be Vitavox? The ribs remind me of Emilar.

    Cerwin Vega?

    The ribs do speak Emilar to a degree, but with Renkus' heritage and what i'm familiar with from his designs they'd have to accept bolt on drivers.

    The threaded throats gotta be a clue.

    Anxious to see if OG puts a name to them.

    Cerwin Vega, and frankly a step above junk. CV bought Heppner's assets, the Heppner drivers didn't handle much power, so just use two. These don't have an accurate horn flare and beam. 511 is 10x better horn. CV made these horns in about 4 versions, most had single throats, early ones had dividers like Altec. they went to a single divider then none.

    Here's an early one in a Kustom cabinet.

    Here's a link to a thread with some CV catalog pics: fan of Cerwin Vega here ??? - AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums

    I see a pair of cabinets there with those dual driver horns in them.

    Well that's too bad, they're pretty neat looking, but I'd want them to work well, too......... not that I'd be paying what that auction is listed for.
