Going to memorie lane!!!!!!!

Sup all i want to know what was youre first system and what was the best old school sub's that you loved and wished you had or still have????? My very first sub was an american bass patriot sub 12inch (or at least i think that was it i know the patriot part is right) My second set up that i had was 2 Rockford Fosgate series 1 tens!!!!The third one i had that i wish i still had the sub's was 2 8inch MTX Thunder Pro 's with a 200watt Jensen amp!!!!Man those thing's hit hard!!!!!So let me know!!!!!!!!!

2 Savard Pro series 12s and a Phoenix Gold M100, later upgraded to Hi Q series.....loved that stuff.

Had old pyle subs off a jensen amp. LOL Later helped my brother put in a coustic 190 on 4 of the pyles to later upgrade to 2 jl 10's. After the coustic was stolen, added a la sound ventura- which I still have - on the jl's till they were stolen. Brother had the jl's for 8yrs and banged the crap out of them and they held all that time. Yeah the surrounds were goin away bad, but to be expected.LOL

First was Pyle sub and Sherwood amp. Second was Jbl sub and HK amp.

2 mtx black gold 8's on a sherwood 100x2

pyle 12's and punch 45
then 2 soundstream spl160 subs and a soundstream s700 amp

Kicker gold 12's on a boss amp. I had some of the Gold series subs for quite awhile, and actually megs first setup was a single gold 15 on a kenwood 300 watt amp.

kicker comp vr 12" with a kx1200.1 was my first system...didnt have it more then a month and i got 2 12" RF hx2 with a bd1500.1 then a month later i got a kicker solox 18 and two mojo 2500 amps ...and walled off my buick regal custom...oh those where the days

2-15 inch pyle driver subs and i think a 500 watt pyramid amp, then i had 2-12 mtx thunders the blue ones and i forgot what amp

RF 200a4 with 2 Optima 8s in my 84 s-10

LA sound malibu 120s (still have it actually) on some crunch 10s with a kenwood cd player

that was 1993 ish maybe 92

wow i forgot about la sound, i had a hermosa i believe it was called, but that was around 95

First system I had was 2 kicker comp 12's powered by a sherwood 400, and 4 jbl 41\2's powered by a hk(member those). processor was a clarion gooseneck. Installed everything in 1 day and took best bass that night at a local show. Little did the people know that the box with the 2 12's was held together with nails not screws and homemade glue (baking flour and water).

After a year I got a hold on 2 12's orion extreme powered by a orion 225hcca amp, rated at 40 watts@4 ohm and 400 watts@1\4 ohm.

Two Pyle Driver Pro Series 10's (when they were still good subs), Linear Power 952 Amp, Harmon Kardon cassette deck, Kicker 4" and Kicker D20 tweeters powered with a eq.

I have owned so many subs but the ones that I wish I still had were a pair of G & S Designs Nightstalker 12's. I also really liked the M & M subs, and the Pro Series Rockford Fostgate "The Punch" subs.

I stiil have 2 12 G & S design Redline speakers

which model were the G & S that had the motors larger than the basket?

I started out with one, then two Radio shack dual voice coil subs. I didn't know anything at the time and only hooked up one coil on each sub. I built a bandpass box with no program or knowledge other than I saw boxes like that at stores. No thought to tuning or anything like that. It was powered by one of those sweet 6 band eq booster thingy. Then I later upgraded to a california amp I found in some crappy mail catalog. Down the road a few years I got my first good system...1 MTX blue thunder sub in a sealed box and a Kenwood 2 channel bridged. That sub and amp went through all kinds of hell and I used the crap out of my extended warranty at CC.

The only other G & S product I remember was some redline 8's

I remember G&S and couldn't get them down here!!! But i did think the cerwin vega stroker's was cool and the new one's look cool to,just dont know how the perform!!!!!!But i remember when Radio shack used to sell MTX!!!!!!!What about Dr.Crankenstein yall remember them??????

Two Savard rap 10s...Sony amps on subs and highs. Kenwood coax's in the doors.

Well dayum it has been a looooong time ago, but if memory serves me right. I think my first system was Harmon Kardon cassette deck, HiFonics Series V amps, and Stillwater Designs subwoofers.

Does my portable boombox count as a system?
I had a Lasonic TRC 931 boombox in the backseat of my '64 nova. I ran power wires to the battery, because 10 D cell batteries were to expensive. It was 15x2 rms with eight inch woofers along with tweeters.
You'all know this radio. It's the one on the picnic table at the front of Fresh Prince of Bel-air. They're shooting basketball and get in one little fight and mom gets scared.

Seriously, the subs that I would like to have back. The Atomic HPW 1299. I had 8 of them in the trunk of a mercury mystique. They were powered by an Autotek 333 amp. At only 1200 watts, I would have loved to see 4 times the power on my subs.

MINE WAS AN LEAR JET 8 TRACK WITH TENNA MIND BLOWER 6X9S AND A SPARKOMATIC EQ WITH A LIME GREEN SINE WAVE.
NO ONE KNEW WHAT A SUB WAS THEN!

2 pyle 12's and an urban "1000" watt amp sealed in a 73 monte carlo... then i got 2 cerwin vega 10's on the same amp ported.. whats impeadance anyways?? oh yea and an ooooooolld alpine pullout cassest player.. them were the day... sir mix alot never sounded better lol

I had 3 MTX blue thunder 10's at one point.. One of my personal favorites!! It was ran with a Rockford punch 45 (I think...)
Man I loved those subs

If memory serves me, back in 91 my first system consisted of an Alpine pull out cassette deck with CD changer in the glovebox. Alpine old school DSP/ EQ, the cool one with the spectrum anylyzer. Alpine mids and highs, a pair of Lanzar 12s and two Alpine amps. And yeah "Baby Got Back" seemed to rock it out back then. Later replaced the Lanzars with Kicker Comps.

I grew tired of that setup and put a snug top on and cut a walk-through for 3 JL 12W6s (the first dual 3 ohm I think) in a ported enclosure. Went out and bought an Eclipse ECD416 Deck and Eclipse DSP. Added all MB Quart comps for mids and highs. Two 6 1/2s and a 5/14 in each door. Along with some 4x6 plates in the dash. All of it was run off of a single McIntosh 6 channel 50x4 plus 100x2. Audio control x-overs and epicenter. All squeezed into an 89 S-10. I never took it to a single competition even though a lot of people said I should have. I was a little self conscious about having more money in the sound than the truck itself. I loved that system and wish I still had it around to show people what we did back in my day. This was around 1994 or so.

I got out of it for about 10 years after that untill I caught the bug again in 2004 and haven't quit since.

We had some mind blower 6x9s in my dad's work van(TV repair). I thought they were made by pyramid. They had a remote volume knob that mounted on the overhead console, which also held the 8-track player, cb radio and 100 watt linear amp.

Jensen Triax 6x9's with a Sanyo auto-reverse cassette deck, no music search though. Then came the Craig cassette with music search AND a remote. then JVC KS-RG8. Hot, flip face, multi song music search. First sub setup was Petras Cardiac 10 in a bandpass with an autotek 7100x, I really wanted the 9100 but the pockets wouldn't allow it.
