What Was Your First Setup?

one Ground Zero Nuke in a ~1cube sealed box with a 100w@4ohm (bridged) coustic amp.

upgraded the amp a few weeks later to a $150 PPI PC1400 (200w@4ohms i found out - pretty underrrated id imagine)

wanged pretty **** hard.

 
Kenwood Mask CD player (WORST headunit EVER!!)

Pioneer co-axials all around

Sentrek amplifier

2 10" Sentrek subs in a prefab bandpass box.

On a good day, my rearview mirror would almost vibrate. It was awesome.

 
Alpine 7893 (which is still playing perfectly in my buddy's Merc 300E)

Avionixx 800.2 (nice little amp, too bad it was only 4ohm mono stable)

Those are the only things I've swapped out...everything else has remained.

 
Hooray for my

Sony CDX-M630

Infinity Reference 4x6 Coax powered by head unit

Infinity Reference 6.5 Coaxs powered by head unit

2 Sony Xplod 12s in prefab bandpass box

Some Sony xplod Amp powering them

oddly enough that lasted two years because i couldnt afford anything else

Panasonic 602u

Pioneer 6x8 fronts. and stock mids

650c boss amp

2 10's P5 sonys. *just sold them* //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I'm in my mid 40's so keep that in mind //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif You younger guys are spoiled to death with the great gear available today.

In '78 my Dad and I installed an under-the dash Audiovox 8-track player and 4" crappy coaxials in my '70 VW Beetle. Dear God, it sounded horrible.

Fast forward to today....WOW, the industry has come a LONG way!

 
Alpine CDA-9805

Infinity Reference 6.5 2-ways powered off of head unit

Infinity Kappa 6x9 2-ways powered off of Alpine MRT220

later added an Audiobahn AW1251t and a Profile CA400

then MB Quarts for the CA400, and a CA600M for the Audiobahn

then the Audiobahn turned into an SE

then the MB Quarts turned into DLS UR6 and the Kappas got destroyed by blowtorch //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

and now the DLS UR6 find themselves in kicks and the SE turned into an Avalanche

Went to 2 thousand watt lightning subs & an 1800 watt DHD amp. Obviously too much cuz a week after I got this, it was all stolen. That's ok, it blocked my view anyway.
