The pics aren't the best my camera on my phone sux and its so dusty in here..lol the poster I haven't taken it down yet scared i will rip it..lol It was in behind a wall that had been added..I love doing places like this..lol we are putting 20 tons of air in here..twining 2 5 ton units on each side..

[mikel7829 90]

I know its hard to see with it still hanging on the wall...But it says "best pair on the road" lol.....that blondes got a big set..lol but I guess its suppose to be talking about the woofers in the prefab  box with the horn tweets..lmao...Anybody have any idea about when that poster was probably published?

That's their original logo and the red surround drivers lasted into the early 90s right before the Optidrives came out, so late 80s to early 90s.

They did a Cadillac hearse like the Ghosbuster car as a demo vehicle and it was loaded with those drivers.  That was the first manufacturer's car I ever heard and it was incredibly loud way back then.    Shortly after that MTX had a crazy Astro Van when the Road Thunder Pros came out and it used the same red surrounds.   I miss those cars with just a massive sealed wall of subwoofers.  They were all unbearably loud, but SO musical.  Nothing today compares to them.  Nothing.

Hell, I remember when Hart came out with the first 1KW rated subs.  They had to run 4 amps per driver to get the thing to move.  Power was difficult to make and expensive back then too.  A lot of great drivers were nearly 3% efficient though, so low power worked well.

Believe it or not, but Pyle was an upper echelon brand.

What happened???

They stopped evolving the sold out to Pyramid.  Actually,  Pyramid was mid quality stuff back then too.  They had some shitty lines, but some good quality stuff as well.

I remember Pyle being the ish at one point and then when I was looking at another system later.... wow.  Not good.

I'll never forget that thing. Saw it at the Cavalcade of Wheels show at Notre Dame way back when.  It had the massive red surfboard Terminator amps and Wayne was there doing PR.  I swear that guy can see sound waves.

I remember they was a guy when I was a kid that had a audio shop in Estill Springs,TN ..He had a big bird yellow nissan hardbody walk through filled with Lanzar's and Oz's...As I got older I never understood why he had 12's and 15's mixed and matched guess it was all for looks...But back then it was crazy loud to me...In reality I probably had 2 12's that was louder..Also I remember a place in Shelbyville,Tn that had a 70's pinto with 6 Prowler 15's and a ton of the old Crunch amps..lol

I'd check out that fried chicken place.  Hell, I'd love a tour of the city when I have time and money to burn.  So... will you be busy in about 25 years?
