Question of the day: What was the first subwoofer that you heard that made you fall in love with BASS?

[boxgeek217]

Both of these would have been 1996-97. There was a guy in my town with two of the early Kicker Solo Baric 12s in a hatchback Mustang. He had some big-ass RF amp pushing them and it was pretty impressive. You could hear him from blocks upon blocks away. Everybody else was jealous as hell. After that I went to a local show and there was an S-10 minitruck there with a camper shell and a blowthrough wall containing 6 RF Power 12s and this epic extending amp rack on actuators that housed some strapped Punch 500m amps. It was brutally loud! I was hooked. I owned a pair or Punch 15s (RFP-1415s) before i owned a drivers license because of those subs!

I rocked one of these in a carpet laying van. Anyone else guilty?

I'm an old fart. I was the first in my town to have big speakers (I don't think the term "subs" had been coined yet)... I put a pair of Zenith Allegro 12" home speakers in a 1984 Chrysler Laser back in 1985... was awesome back in the day!

The speakers that made me fall in love with bass was a pair of home 12" Pioneer tower speakers on a old school 500 watt Scotts integrated amp that my cousin owned, at which point I later traded for that set up and was in heaven, until I was introduced to Cerwin Vega 15" tower speakers. Then when that wasn't good enough I got into car audio I bought a pair of 12" rockford power Hx2's in a obcon godzilla bandpass box on a Rockford 1000.1 amp and those slammed hard back in the day! Been in love ever sense always looking for the next best thing.

Ehhh tough to say, but the first real stupid loud system I heard when I was young was Diamond M6 subwoofers I think? Four 12"s .... it was the year 2000 though. So if those were out then, I think it was them. lol
