Hello From an 80's Basshead

[Zenbizel 0]

Just checking in. The last amp I installed in my own car was a Hifonics that was made in the USA and MB Quarts were the speakers to have. Yup, I'm gonna say it, times have changed. After a few weeks of catching up on what has been going on in the car audio world for the last 20+ years, by lurkin' the forums, I landed here. I'd like to say "Thank You" to all of SSA for providing a great place to gather information, ideas and purchase equipment.

to the forum!  The 80's?  The car audio world must look completely alien compared to what was going on and available to buy back in those days!

It does, in some ways more than others. The biggest problem I've been faced with is sorting out which amp mfg's have gone down hill and which ones unshamefully inflate the output of their amps.

Me too, it's good to see that the old equipment has become collectable and that a market has developed for this stuff, so their real value will be better preserved. I remember a little Orion two channel I had (I don't remember the model) that was rated for like 50 wattsX2, it had 4 guage inputs! I still have some old PPI's with those funky crossovers, they're older than the Art Series. I should probably dig them out of storage. Thinking about it all brings back the warm fuzzies.
