My first car, a 1986 Nissan Cherry :) With a Cerwin Vega Stroker 15 w/6inch aeroport, powered by a Kicker Impulse 1252i, and a Rockford Fosgate Punch 4080, 4x20W to power components:

This was in the mid/late 90s :)

Next car had a Soundstream Davinci amp, PG Cyclone subwoofer slotloaded in a box under the amp, and Boston Acoustics Pro 6,43 3-way components with the midbasses exchanged for Phoenix Gold qx 8" drivers:

And the first system I had in the car over here, same front stage but with Soundstream Rubicon 404 and 1002 amps, and dual Polk DB10 subs:

All of this is from the 90s :)

never understood the concept of the cyclone sub

Random system pics and vids:

RE MT/PSI 12D1.4 and 2.2^3 @ 29Hz custom enclosure (sub and box built by BassHeadsEnt.net) on an AP18001D @ .7 w/ 2 old school 88'/89' Sony XM-5540 4 channels on mids/highs. Loved this setup!

AA Chaos 15D2 in a 2.8 @ 32Hz BHE custom enclosure on an AP15001D @ 1 ohm (800 rms sub took 2x power with ease!) was bass racin 39.9 with this setup!

"Inbetween systems" systems.

Box was 2.8^3 @ 36Hz built to get a higher TL score outa the AA Chaos 15/AP15001D setup but sub was sold before box was finished so I had it cut for a 12 and threw in a sub I had laying around. MOFO-12D2 V1 and AP15001D @ 1 ohm. Switched out my AP15001D for the AP18001D you seen above while I had this sub and hit a 138.x sealed up legal on the dash with a 41Hz tone iirc.

Same box, AP18001D @ 8 ohms on HFi12D4 ~350 rms, hit a 135.x sealed up legal with this on a burp, same freq iirc.

One of my very first systems, 2 Kicker CVR 12's off a kicker 400 Watt mono block, 6" comps, 6X9's, and front door comps all ran off a pioneer head unit :D

510558670a8811713677l.jpg

Then upgraded my car, decided on an audio upgrade, Kicker 600watt amp, and a Kicker L5 12"

510558670a11062120351l.jpg

510558670a11062120379l.jpg

Then I joined Audio forums and discovered what Audio is about lol. 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch 12's, Starsound 1.3 Kw amp, extra battery and 0 gauge wiring :) box was 5 cubic feet tuned onto 27hz

510558670a12013896901l.jpg

510558670a12013896953l.jpg

510558670a12013896971l.jpg

A small video of them playin:

Had a little run around for a while, got me a Kicker 15" L5 for cheap so made 1 3cuft box tuned to 32 and stuck the starsound amp onto it, no pics but here's a small vid:

Then I changed car again, and got addicted to bass, so this time arouond same 5cuft box, 2 Vibe Space 12's, Hifonics 2607D, MTX roadthunder componants, Alpine 9886r HU, car deadened with Dynamat.

73759_484993405762_647610762_7610272_1535154_n.jpg

And here's a small flex video of those subs:

Then I finally took the plunge and walled the car. Completely deadened, 30mm of MDF on the roof with plenty of foam, sunroof sealed shut, 2 AA Mayhem 18's, 2 Hifonics 2607D's, Epic 160, SPL D 4 Channel amp, 2 sets of AA 7" carbon mids, 2 sets of 1" AA tweeters. This equate to 149.9 @ 32. I am currently rebuilding the box, and changing amps for something a little beefier ;)

230080_10150251121780763_647610762_9398994_4521525_n.jpg

Of course for batteries I have nothing less than 3 XS Power D3100's

227254_10150254834590763_647610762_9434863_3132898_n.jpg

Also an Alpine PXE H-650 for telling the front end exactly what to do

Those the old pyramid super blue amps? My first amp was a 75x4....actually sounded decent for the money. Heard a rumor they were designed by PPI...no proof though... Wish I still had it for nostalgia sake, dont see them come up very often. I pushed my HARD bridged to two channels on a pair of CV 12's(yes the ones with the red surround).....fwiw...first HU was also a Kenwood....with changer control.....I thought I was so cool...lol...

Wow this brings back some memories. My first set up was a Jensen 12" from sears with the blue surround, and A REAL Lanzar Opti drive 100, All in my blown up honda accord off the battery charger! I did get an Phoenix gold M100 after that And wish i could reach my head to kick myself in it for getting rid of it. Don't have any pics unfortunatly. First car I could drive was a 72 Mercedes 220D, I had 2 Pioneer IMPPs in the grand old q logic bandpass box! run off 2 Profile california 600's audiovox 2 channel on the highs. which I believe were sony 5 1/4s and realistic tweeters in the kick panel. I was big pimpin I tell ya. Or so I thought.

Consisted of an Eclipse 5302 CD player, Kenwood KAC-723 amp (mids/highs), Kenwood KAC-823 amp (subs), MB Quart first series Discus 6.5" Components and Orion XTR 12's I think they were the 2nd gen XTRs maybe first.

Nice clean looking install....very nice for the times.....

Looks like you might have a first gen and a second gen XTR there, seems to be more writing on the subs on the left, (series2, maybe)....did you get a little heavy on the volume and toast a sub? Just curious. I had some of the first series one XTRs and they took all the power i could throw at them at the time..Orion 250HCCA @ 2 ohms....it was a SQ system, so i didnt push it too hard, but every now and then I let it fly....had a second 250 for the highs, orion nt1, 4 and 6 for front stage..... miss that system, and the taurus sho it was in....right around 94-95 as well.

Again...nice install and great looking car too.....love nissan/datsuns.....

What I had in my '03 s-10 before I sold it, never took pictures after carpeting the enclosure for some reason.

System consisted of alpine cda-7998 source, JBL GTO series 75.2 and 601.1 amps, Clarion SRS 1686 components in doors, and one OZ Audio Matrix Elite 12.4 sub in 2 cubic feet tuned to 34 Hz.

Still have the alpine 7998, oz sub and clarion comps. Sold the amps though.

Same amps, and sub as above, but when I had them installed in my 92 ranger, was running JL VR 5.25 components in it, with an alpine 7897 deck at the time.
