The collection starts with this 99 I bought tonight. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Next I'll need a 44 and a 66.

DAMM I wish I had seen that...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

Do a closed auction search for the mint in box 99 I passed up last week because I stopped bidding at 150.00

Haven't seen one of those in awhile. I have a lanzar pro plus 12" in my closet I am thinking of putting in my truck.

Anything pre-pyramid on the Lanzar is fine and dandy to run without thinking. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I have had it since the early 90's. The Lanzar rep used to live about 4 houses down from me. I need to find some specs on the woofer, can't find anything on it on the net.

There's some DVC 12's on the fleabay HERE and a high power 10 HERE, but no "pro" anywhere at the moment.

I bought the red ring 12's with the white triangle on the cap in 1992 and loved them.

Orion if you have "the" alternator, PG or Kicker if you have a "decent" alt.

being a 79 I don't think the alt will be hard to take care of

When I had it in my bronco back in the day, I was driving it with a Lanzar opti 150, and the thing rocked. I still wish I had those old opti amps. And all my linear power that I had.

This is some of my old school Orion stuff....

 

[o. l. t. 10+ year member]

Don't need to go much further... the orion will do fine.

I'm thinking DD subs and speakers with the vintage Orion amps would be pretty sweet

I remember the day the strokers were announced. Man the buzz in the industry of the "baddest *** subs ever built for car audio" was everywhere. Cerwin Vega reps were snobbish about them to the point they said the same things about the subs that US Amps reps used to say about the original US Amps. Remember how they burned pencils, welded, etc..... The Vega reps would plug the strokers into the wall or hit them with double power ratings on sine wave generators..... so much fun when people actually got excited about stuff.

Now it's like "oh that ain't sh*t, so and so has one like that". Back when these came out it was more like "oh sh*t, NOONE has anything like that". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif That's what made everything so good back then. Everybody really got into it and got behind it. Everything was new, and a new stepping stone. We're at a level now where a step up is just a step up.

I've gone too far before. You CAN go too far. You get to the point where you get complacent and everything is just "there". When you are climbing the ladder everything new is fun and a new experience and exciting. Going to your first 1kw amp or your first set of $1k mids or whatever.....

These days every amp is 1kw, $50 jensens are 1kw for $55.00 (LOL). We had some posers back in the day like Mobile Authority and others but even Pyramid made Awesome stuff compared to today's "best buy" brand products.

Red cone Pyramid Super Pro's (even the blue cone) with the gold sticker on the magnets would EAT any of these best buy style subs for breakfast and we used to LAUGH at them! Pyramid has never gotten any respect in it's history, even back then..... but those old Super Pro subs.... by todays standards are better than most $200 subs out there.
