Jensen Triax were the top of the line, but I always liked the Cerwin Vega coax better.iirc werent jensen 6x9's popular also?
WTF, in his day? I think not cuz a 69 Camaro is still one of the hottest cars ever to me! hahahaI know they prolly sound like crap by todays standards. Im more interested in the nostalgia of them. In his day, a 69 camaro or late 70's firebird with cragar ss wheels and mind blower speakers were the coolest cars. Id love to set up a car the way he wouldve back then, and get a sense of "experiencing" that era.
THIS THREAD IS OLD..........Believe it or not Pyramid, Pioneer, Jensen and Pyle were the best brands back in the day.
Hi,Everytime I install modern stereo components, my father tells me stories of his audio systems back in the day, circa late 70's. Although the cars change in each story, he always mentions "Mind Blower" speakers. He said they were 6x9 speakers with thier own amps mounted to them. I did some research ad found out they were made by Pyramid. I would really like to get my hands on a set and surprise him on a future restoration project. Plus, I'd love to look at and hear these things. Anyone know where I might find some, or any other info about them?
Were the alpines the accordian cone looking things? Those were bad ***//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifTis true, all we had were 6x9's that were overpowered as possible. My favorite that I owned was the Alpine 6x9 subwoofers, which were 150 watts each which was mentioned previously was big power back then. I too had a Sherwood amp (it was square, huge fins for heat dissapation.) I don't remember what size it was, perhaps 100x2. Later on I moved up to an MEI amp, which was really nice but later in its life started going into protect alot.
You **** skippy, pyramid was and always will be flea market crap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifTHIS THREAD IS OLD..........but for the record Pyramid was NEVER anything different than what they are today - JUNK
Pyle on the other hand used to be a quality speaker,jensen too - Pioneer is about the same now as
