Something to make you old school guys cry


Recommended Posts

A guy that lives down the street from me asked me to build him a simple sealed box for a pair of 12's, so I knocked one out real quick this morning.

He came by to pick it up, so I was going to help him hook everything up.  I got the pair of raggedy, 3/8" thick paneling boxes out, and what was laying behind them?

A poor old G1 Orion 225HCCA with bare wires exposed everywhere, waiting for a fire.  Hooked up in stereo, 4 ohms per channel.  What a waste.  The subs that were in there were mismatched, one Lightning Audio 12, and one no name 12.  I almost cried right there.  I asked the guy how much he paid for the amp, and he said $20, so I offered him $50 for it on the spot.  He said he'd have to ask his brother, since it belonged to him. 

I just can't stand to see the abuse of great old school equipment.  If I get that one, I'll put it under the bed with my other original 225HCCA and use them as a pair in an install down the road.
