dog24fret Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 you know I was looking at some of this and realized I owned a good chunk of it at one time. I was like thats not old school. Then I realized Im just getting old. Thanks twisted. I agree with that, but the memories are cool. Even if they are a little dated. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp

WillistonAudioLabs Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 US Amps 50HCA - (often mistaken for the 50HC) - this amp was 1991-1992'ish. Looks like the one currently on eBay, but it's not. I contacted the seller b/c she used my ratings w/ no attribution, then she "attempted" to correct the posting, but used the WRONG specs! She used specs from the 50HC, which required a 75A fuse, this one required a 30A fuse!

WillistonAudioLabs Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Next up is a BEAT UP RF Punch 150 1st gen. My brother has owned this amp since 1986 when he got it from a guy selling it b/c it had a channel out. I think he paid $60 for it. These models had fuses on each channel, so he popped open the case and replaced a fuse and wallah!! Amp has worked ever since! He used it for about 4 years powering 6 M&M Poly subs (2 each 12's, 10's and 8's - I'm still looking for pics, I know we have some ). Then I used it for about 5 years running 2 ohms bridged to my MTX Blue Thunder 10's, then he got it back and used it in his last 3 cars, just taking it out a few months ago. This thing is ROUGH, but shows the quality of old school!!! See my videos on YouTube http://www.willistonaudio.com Many tests and demos of OLD and NEW SCHOOL car audio gear!

WillistonAudioLabs Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I can do this all day, but will give it a break for now...after this post! Early 1990's Alpine 7903s CD Tuner (pull out, no internal amp, QUALITY and SQ!!) I bought this one back in 1991 from the original owner (paid $250 IIRC - these were $600 new). He wanted a Nakamichi HU instead... Pioneer CD-5 EQ - sold this one last year on eBay....went for $179! It was BNIB, never used!! Rockford Fosgate Pre-Amps - PA-1, PA-1HD and PA-2 (took me almost 5 years to find a near mint PA-1) See my videos on YouTube http://www.willistonaudio.com Many tests and demos of OLD and NEW SCHOOL car audio gear!
