[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2437903, member: 550915"] Those were the ones. All the great cars of the time had very extensive custom passives, especially the ones coming out of Speaker Warehouse. Did you ever see the passive network that was in the Blazer? Took up its own drawer in the amp rack that was about 2'x4'. Own one of the latter to this day along with 4 other HCCA amps. One of the nicest things about the Soundstreams was the fact that they were the first that I can remember that had screw down direct insert terminal for all the power and speaker connections. The screws ******, but the idea was good. Yep, W5 was the first with the original W3 being the 8" model in that line. The W1 was next, I have one in nearly perfect shape from '92 and still have the original box for it. Coustic XM-1 and XM-3. Got that one, too. Quite possibly, especially considering that the Runt didn't have a switching power supply and was only 16W per channel. Difference was I could get Linear Power in my hometown. Not so much Alphasonik. Ah, yes...but how? [/QUOTE]
