Cerwin Vega At40 Specs Today

Cabinet and Build Cerwin-Vega typically constructs enclosures to be sturdy and to minimize unwanted resonance at high SPLs.

This woofer features the iconic Cerwin Vega "red surround"—a treated foam or cloth roll that is notably more durable and compliant than standard foam, allowing for the extreme cone excursion required to produce the brand's signature "heart-thumping" bass. The spec sheet lists the woofer's impedance at 8 ohms (nominal), making the AT-40 an easy load for most receivers and amplifiers. Unlike cheaper stamped steel frames
