I have a pair of Cerwin Vega VE15 speakers when i bought them the guy played them for me and they sounded great after i got them home and hooked them up a little while later when i turn them up not real loud the bass speaker on both of them will start to reverberate really bad and fast

i hope that video plays any ideas on what's goin on i would appreciate it
 
That looks to me like you're clipping the amplifier badly. What is the amplifier, and what is the music source? Have you got the bass turned up on the amp?
 
What matters isn't the brand of amplifier, but the amplifier's output power and the load the loudspeakers present. What your video seems to show is the amplifier unable to control the bass cone movement. This is most likely to be using an underpowered amplifier, or possibly the loudspeakers being of too low impedance for the amps being used. This will be made considerably worse if the bass tone control is turned up, even a small amount.

Bear in mind also that those CW loudspeakers are bass reflex, which means that the bass cones are unloaded below the port resonance, so won't be particularly good with vinyl, so if that was the source and it had a lot of LF content, which the amplifier didn't filter off, cone flap would result.

What was the amplifier you heard the 'speakers demonstrated with, as that sounded OK you said.

I have an amplifier that is only rated at 50 watt rms into 8 ohms but due to the 440,000 micro Farads of capacitance it may output 200 watts rms into 2 ohms of class A. When driving speakers of 6 Ohm and only 85 dB at 1 metre at 1 watt I have no problem with high pressure volumes. It is not just the number of watts, it is how they are controlled.
I would therefore agree with Sergeaukland and suggest that it is your amplifier that is at fault. My power amplifier is a The Gryphon: Essence.
