I'm new here, my first post! My car Audio started out with my first car (1977 ***** Am Black SE).
It come standard with an Craig eight track that had an external power amp hooked up behind it.
Everyone old enough here to remember those days? Anyway, after using the eight track for months
I purchased my first cassette deck with auto search and auto reverse, ...man I thought I was in heaven!!! My first amp though was a Craig 100 watt amp that was a real Junker (not reliable).
After the craig amp I also checked out the ADS Powerplate 100..not very big But reliable as any
amp could ever be....I think before that I tried a Sony XM-120 with a PWM power supply! That to
was a Great Amp! "Great Sound" like the ADS...I here today that sony amps aren't as well made but
let me say they were as good as the old Alpine amps were....But what I really back then to put
in that Beautiful Bandit car was an top of the Line AudioMobile Amp rack system....Unfortunately as
a kid I couldn't manage the expense $4000 or so so I forgot about it....While searching Craigslist awhile back,I happend on this below...You youngsters might not know what this is, but back in the day AudioMobile was up there with Rockford Fosgate, Linear Power, ADS and others! There systems (audiomobile) were "State Of The Art" often seen in BMW's ,Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and such...Unfortunately now like allot of good builders there gone...But looking at the system below
takes me back to my younger day's of Car Audio!
I'll post the photo later as I'm new and unable to at this time.....Duggr
