[QUOTE="SocMunky, post: 2451689, member: 572014"] Wow, posts like these bring back all sortsa memories. My Alpine 7390 pullout tape deck with a remote...a remote! Back in those days that was some crazy stuff. I had some of the oldschool kickers, with the gold lettering, stuffed into a badly designed ported box (basically just cut a hole and rocked it).....thank god I can't lay claim to having made that.
