AlexSked Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Like others (including Steve), I bought a Pyramid amp. It was crappy but I couldn't tell if it was the amp or the shitty 10's I had (remember the ones with the translucent cone?). It was horrible. All of it. But I was hooked!

state_of_justin Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 It was... a tiny 'Pyramid' 2-channel amp, driving two 4" JVC speakers in the dash of my first car (1988 Toyota Tercel). I shortly after added some (other) no name amp and a 2 x 10" (junk) box. An addict was born. Last serious install was all Boston Acoustics (Pro Series 60), 3-way separates up front, pair of co-axis in the back, a 10" Pro Series Sub (10.5), each set run by 1 of 3 separate original Alpine V12 amps (circa '02-03). After all the tuning (friend of mine is a recording engineer, had him listen and do the last few tweaks)... it sounded incredible. Car (1995 Nissan 240SX) was totaled not too long after (rear ended by an S10 pickup doing 70+). Jonesing for another full system and am starting to pick up items for it now! So Far - DLS Reference CC2 - Class-AB / 340w into 4-ohms (bridged mono) Boston GT-22 Boston Pro Series 10.5, 10" Subwoofer (4-ohm version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansacman Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Mine was a sherwood 40+40w powered 2 optimus 6X9s in the rear package tray of my 71 grand prix around 1990, everyone thought I had subs in that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saved up the $5/hr I was making stacking bales of hay, hit up the Radio Shack for an Optimus 340. (85 x4) Got stolen. Replaced it with a pair of US. Acoustics which I still have. The optimus amps were good, I still have a XL400 that I just retired 2 years ago, I want steve to do a amp test on it, im sure it still puts out 300 watts clean. I just replaced it for a 5 channel thats 1/4 the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernecki Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) This beast, copped it from a pawn shop in Barrie Ontario when I was like 14. Convinced my mom to let me install a system in her car. (Thanks Steve for the photo cred) That's where my addiction started, 18 years ago. I had to modify it though, I cut the emblem out of the case with a dremel tool, installed a plexi window and a blue light inside.
