Posted May 8, 200718 yr I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's FIRST system was or what you installed back in the day. For some of you that may not be that long ago. Here is one of mine.I didn't have money for my own system at the time but I remember this......Concord cassette unit (that was the Cadillac of cassette units in the mid 80's)a pair of Pyramid 15's with a port (really just a hole in the box)6x9 pyramids no upgrades in the front speakers10 band graphic EQ (can you say... extra 40 watts)and I think it was a Blaupunkt amp running the subsThis was in a 86 Cavalier. YEAH!!!!Lots of bass and bad sound up front.I got more but I'll wait

May 8, 200718 yr Kenwood tape player, Kenwood 40w amp, and a truck box with horn tweets and 8's (some real off brand). Bright enough response that it sounded better in my trunk than in the car. I paid $90 for the whole setup when it was 2 years old.
May 9, 200718 yr Author YEAH Ramos!!! I had a 10" woofer in a...... I kid you not... Corrugated Box (double wall, my dad worked for a box company) The woofer was taken out of my moms home stereo (8 track and record player). NO screws, just duct tape to seal the box. Amazingly enough, it did produce some decent bass for what it was. Oh, and it was just sitting in the back seat of my brother's 1974 Mustang II. Good times. The deck on the Mustang was a 8-track player with the cassette adapter. I wish I had pics.
