I miss the hand made Linear Power amps. Those things were the crap in their day...hell, in any day...

HAHA...i was just gonna post the link to the "L7" sub. What pieces of crap.

Cant wait to hear back from my mom about the RE12's.

yea its kinda odd but they do it so you can compare their stuff to what is now carrying similar model numbers....

man up until earlier this year i was still running a hifonics series IV odin and vulcan in my last truck....for those of you interested in the pre crappy kickers.....these guys used to make kicker subs before they went the way of the chain store....also some others but that is all they have ever done is make subs for other people...i talked to them and basically when everyone started going overseas they started their own speaker line....nothing but subs though and every now and then they have overstock of some product that has someone elses name on it......

Wow.. I almost forgot about the m&m subs.. Remeber Rose or Black Magics? My first real setup was in 94. quart components, four Jl 8's on a ppi art 600. Clarion deck.. I miss the old punchs, hcca, old school hifonics(zed), autotek.

man i forgot all about the hott setup stuff..i also had a couple ads pq20's at one point and everyone wanted m&m godfathers.....dr. crankenstein was made here in ky and clarion is made about 10 min. from me...

i think you can still buy crankensteins. i wanted one just to show off. maybe if i can still buy them i might. well anyway back to topic.

My first system was in a 1990 Olds Calis 442 it was pretty cool for a little car quad 4 with a stick. i got a pioneer something from crutchfield that was pretty decent back then. stock speakers 3.5s front and 6x9s rear and then i had 2 kicker truck boxes with 8"s and then later on 4 ran off an old punch 150 at 1ohm it lasted about 2 months before my + wires came out and hit the - post. then i was with out bass. next car was a 89 barretta with a 2.8 and a stick. same deck but with sony 6x9s in the rear and 2 xplode 12"s and sony amp it got pretty loud compared to the 8"s. next car was 1985 ford f150 that i beefed up a 351W and a 4speed. that had a sony deck (bad choice) kicker 5 1.4"s in the door and the kicker 8"s behind in a custom box that i built it wasnt too bad. next car after that was a 97 blazer with the sony deck for a little while but then an eclipse 8443 and 2 10W0s and the sony amp and infinity comps up front. it was actually a pretty decent sounding system then i rolled it end over end. so then i had to drive my ranchero for a while with no radio just got to listen to the pipes. then i bought my 91 mustang GT and the 8443 got installed and i got an eclipse 8122 12" alum sub in a custom box same old sony amp and an eclipse 4 channel for my front and rears and the fronts where mb quart discus. very very harsh. now i got bravox comps same deck elevation audio comp 10"s and a hifonics amp and autotek amp. i came a long way and im not about to stop here so youll have to see whats coming up.

the guy who owns the local shop here used to hold a world record with 15 crankenstiens... lol old school days!

Terry mentioned the old black Kickers in block gold lettering. I had a set of these in 10" Form. On the back it said made by Stillwater Designs...

I also remember hearing about the Dr Crankenstein stuff...lol

Memories...
