In clearing out the attic the other day, I came across two 12” speakers. Knowing that there
are guys on the Forum that are experts in amps, speakers and related items, I thought that
someone might help me identify these.
l) Peavy “SCORPION” - I believe it may have came out of a bass amp
2) Cerwin-Vega (ER 124) - IMP. 16: have no idea where this came from
Are these just cheep throw-aways or, if placed in a proper enclosure, could they still
be of some use - preferably with steel guitars?
Thanks much for your input.......Wes |

The scorpions are not very well regarded and won't bring much. The Cerwin Vegas might be but you'd have to research that model; they are certainly not any kind of high end speaker, but might be of use. |

The Scorps were designed for lead guitar, and do a pretty good with a high-=powered amp, but they're only average for PSG. Still, they're about all I've used for the past 10 years.
The C-V would probably be okay for an acoustic amp, but they won't handle much bottom-end power, and there's not a lot of demand for them nowadays. |

For steel, they aren't very good. But the Scorpion is an acceptable guitar speaker, to some players. The Cerwin Vega might be a decent bass guitar speaker depending on the model.
If it were me, I'd probably put them on consignment at a local music store, or try to sell them on eBay. They might pull anywhere from $25 to $50 each IMHO. _________________ Best regards,
