Name Some Old School Equipment Game!

Autotek Amps (1992 bought one from a friend, didn't know what I had b/c I was 16 and I don't remember if I sold it, or what...darn!)

I also had POS Rockwood from the flea market b4 a buddy of mine convinced me to go for the 2x35 coustic after I returned my 6th Rockwood amp. Never went back. And the coustic was more than twice as heavy as any of my rockwood 2x1000w pieces of xxxx!

My friends and I rocked:

G&S Redlines

Rockfords

Autoteks

Orion HCCA's

pair of rare Celestion subwoofers (my friend was the only one I knew who had em, ever...the hugest heaviest magnets I'd ever seen back then, wish I took a pic when he sold em to me, I sold those too...sad to not have kept em)

HiFonics pushing Kickers

Zapco Reference/Competition

Audio Arts

PPI Art Series (these were sweet)

Earhquakes were my best subs back in '92

OZ Audio's

Cliff Designs

Solo Barics (1st gen)

Audio Control Pre Amp Processors

I can't remember the rest...but that's a sweet list, brings back memories //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

My buddies would sell me all their stuff after they upgraded or got sick of their equipment

I even got to see a numerically limited PG Reactor in my friends bimmer. Now that I couldn't afford to buy off him. Custom installed in the wheel well.

If I kept all the stuff I bought off my buddies throughout the years, I would have had a sweet collection by now. I went through so many second hand items, and even sold my systems.

The first system I bought for myself (not second hand):

Kenwood tape + cd changer

10 band parametric eq

(i messed the settings after i left the shop and never returned to get it tuned, never sounded the same)

PG Sapphire 4x35

PPI PC 275

JBL comps w/titanium tweets (man these hurt my ears, don't know how i was able to listen to em when i was young)

and JL Audio 12w4's

Optima Batt + Cap +Dist Blocks, etc

Nice little system. Sold it to different friends of mine after 4 years.

Brings back memories.

Oh yeah, when I was getting my system installed...I saw the hugest friggen monster I'd ever seen. A "Ground Zero" subwoofer the size of a monster displayed on a pedestal! Never seen anything like that in my life back then. Bigger than the celestions. Didn't mind to ask about it though b/c i was getting my JL's installed. Plus, I think the guy told me, and it did look like it needed 2,000 watts to power!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif

Dam guys thanx for bringing back all those memories! I didn't see the old Harman Kardon amps mentioned. I remember they made some ridiculously low wattage amps. One was 7.5 x 2! Incredibly clean sound though.

Did anyone ever get to see the old MTX hearse demo vehicle? They brought it to a shop I used to work at and that thing was crazy loud! Back then thats what it was all about. Does anyone remember the Integra that had the first kick panels in it? I remember thinking that was just the sh!t the first time I saw it. Ahh memories.

"Viper is armed."

 
What about the old alpine cassette changers. I'll look and see if I can find some pics //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Car alarms, gimmie my box. After further reading, I'd say a voice recorder that you could use with a car alarm so it'd yell at people?http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:uLgYNpp8eakJ:dreadlordpk.tripod.com/voiceblaster.html+%22Voice+Blaster+200%22&hl=en
Step 1 complete //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Step 2 - who made it ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
Back when i was a wee lad i saw a viper ( just came out) on the street.

I walked by it and i heard this voice say " please step away from the vehicle, you are to close" or something along those lines.

It was pretty sweet.

 
I think I have a couple art series amps around here somewhere.... anyone interested if I can find them?
Those are junk.

I'll give you $10 each just to take the POS's off your hands.
