meade916 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 It was about 1990. I had just wrecked my very first car (my 1975 Celica). I had a system but no more wheels because you know a brotha didn't have no damn full coverage.....so i slapped all my stuff into my friends car so we could have some BEAT while we were in his ride. I had some Coustic amps and he just got a Rockford Fosgate punch 45. I had a Sega and a black/white portable TV so i decided to also install that in his 1980 Honda civic. I put the screen in the glove box. Thank god there is no pics of that because i am sure it didn't look that great . But one thing that caught my eye when i was digging through the old pics. Even 26 years ago i was trying to keep my amps cool some how, even if it was a REAL thermostat from a house BWAHAHAH....gotta do what you gotta do. I remember that not working very good although it barely DID work. These are things that stewed in my mind for decades until i met my friends Tony and Juan (D'Amore Engineering). I pitched the idea and they made it happen. This is why it is one of my all time favorite, most underrated product. The TM-1 is amazing! Anyway, back to the old school pics. This thing had 2 15's, i am trying to remember what they were in THIS pic but i know there was about 3 different brands before he wrecked his car and i ultimately got my stuff back. i know one thing though, even back then i was doing the RF Diamond stencil So to all you young, smart ass whipper-snappers who seem to know it all....what were you doing almost 30 years ago? I was hacking in some of my first systems. Proof the SMD TM-1 Temperature Monitor and Fan controller is 26 years in the making. I was trying even way back in the 90's Original Sega. Like First Gen original. 3 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

yurvalentine Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) That's fucking dope. Lol. On the topic of fan controllers, anyone here ever experimented with fan controllers meant for PC's? I've been eyeballing a few lately thinking they could be really nice for keeping an eye on amp temps, and having control over fan noise.

I have used pc controllers and they are almost all junk and even then you don't get the three stage temp output of our product. On a side note, ours CAN be used in PC's and have.
