Tahoe12, I agree with you mate about setting priorities with electronics as they can cost a lot. I cannot assume that most pics here were bought new or second hand but its good to share pics of new and discontinued electronic products of the yester- years. Whatever the outcome, I am happy that you all shared your pics here. Not worried If you are chasing SQ or SPL , its just the idea of seeing items in good condition regardless of their age as most here would take good care of their products regardless of how much dosh was forked out to buy the gear.i always wonder why people worry so much about what others spend on hobbies/collections. do you have a domicile? are you and your family fed, clothed, and financially secure? are you adequately prepared for the future, financially, and otherwise? do you have transportation, or a way to travel to neccessary locations? if the answers yes.. have at it. have 5 million dollars in nostalgic electronics. have fun and enjoy
Very Nice man.I found some old photos of what I have owned or built for friends along with some recent builds at the end:

Some of my very first car audio stuff. The ssl and the 2 channel were my very first amps, and a kenwood 500watt dvc was first sub, then the pure audio was second subthe 750watt rms 2 ohm, sold it and got two dvc 4 ohm 750rms pure car audio for same price as the one. Built box for the two and then sold to buddy and installed to get the re audio sxx dvc 4ohm 1200 watt rms. Oh and then got the nvx amps the jad1200.1 and the jad800.4 (second amp setup) and ofc 1/0 awg nvx cable and all rcas through them too. And built new box for the re audios.

Thanks, it photographs better than it looks in person. The color isn't as even as i wanted, I thought I could get away without prestain but birch is too soft of a wood. The stain is Varathane barn red and the sides are ebony. I literally finished the box on Sunday.Stain on the orion xtr box looks great.
