Got some Cerwin Vega D-9's, and need some help
My father in law gave me a pair of Cerwin vega D-9's the other day. They have a 15": wopfer, two 6" mids, and a horn tweeter. They have fuse and circuit breaker protection. he told me these things would bring the ceiling down in my house. It was love at first sight!
Well, I ran out and bought a Pioneer $349 surround sound receiver. Hooked it all up with a nice JVC dvd player I had using the fiber optic cable and some nice Monster Cable speaker wire. Turned it all on, and I'm diappointed. The bass sucks, but they are very loud though. When pushed hard, the Pioneer receiver overloads and shuts down.
Do I need a better receiver or amplifier? I take it I'm lacking power?
