Your first amplifier - what was it?

[bbeljefe]

Here is the beast that hooked me on teh power....

That's not mine... mine has long since been traded off for something else but, mine was mounted just like that under the dash of a '70 El Camino SS. It was driving a Cerwin Vega 10" woofer with the groundbreaking new technology called dual voice coils, along with a pair of Kenwood 6X9s, a pair of 6" full range drivers I robbed out of an old Soundesign home stereo system and a pair of Realistic super tweets, all of which were mounted in a wedge box behind the seat.

Being the experimental sort that I was and having heard that a completely sealed enclosure was the best, I painted the cones on the 6" speakers with rubber cement so no air could leak through the paper cones. For a 15 year old kid with no money to spend, I still think it was a decent system, although I'm sure it sounded like shit relative to today's OEM sund systems. :-|.

And the source for this powerhouse was this little gem:

Traded a Kenwood half din with a digital PLL tuner for this one, because I didn't want to cut the dash on the Camino.

Those were the not so good old days. :-)

EDIT: I just noticed that the pic is a Punch 100. Mine was a Punch 40 but the chassis is the same. I'd have given my left nut for a Punch 100, lol.

Not mine, but mine was identical, and strangely in the exact same condition before it was stolen. It was a rockwood 2 channel with the push button "holy shit" bridge.

Pyramid PB717X 1,000-Watt 2-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier three or four years ago off of amazon before i started researching into everything and upgrading to real power. Someone gave me a JL 12" 300 watt sub and in my single cab truck at the time i thought i struck gold!
