10 years ago I had a Subaru SVX with a Denon HU, Audison VR amps, a treo of JL 8W6's, and some 10 year old Clif Designs components (the originals from the early 90's) and a PG EQ230 and AX204.
20 years ago I had a '83 Ford Thunderbird with a Pioneer Premier HU, the same Audison amps, the same PG EQ230 and AX204, the same Clif seperates, and a pair of IDQ's 12's.
I always liked the JL W6's back then. Clif Designs that brings back some memories also
hummm..it was an eclipse dead head all i kniw for sure is that it had a knob, not the volume up and down w/changer, infinity 3 way kappa set up, w/silk dome tweeters and the massive crossovers about the size of a brick each, a rf dvc12" sealed sub with a rf PUNCH 150 maybe..mono, and an a/d/s pplate to the 3 ways..in an 86 toyo supra..
Wait, 10 year ago was 2001. I'm getting so old, I was thinking mid '90s lol. I think I had some JL subs because by then my mother had set some boxes on top of my Cerwin Vegas and punched holes in the cones while I had them out for cleaning.
lol-why don't they get it? Fortunately never suffered that loss, but back in the 90's a British TV show, Later with Jools Holland, had a grunge special with Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, L7, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and others on it. I recorded it and painted the tape bright yellow/black chevrons and "DO NOT RECORD OVER-EVER" all over it. Put it on to find my mother had recorded Neighbours on it ( a shit Aussie soap opera!), still grinds my gears!

that is funny/sad...i don not know about the uk, but in the us video tapes have a plastic tab you can break off that will prevent them from being re-recorded on unless you use something to replace the tab.
if you want to get even set up her dvr to only record top gear....

lol-I had taken the tab out-she stuffed it with some chewed up paper to allow her recording. Alas, the only technology my mother can work is the VCR-if she needed to record Neighbours she could probably learn how to fix a VCR!
twenty some odd years ago, it was an 82 toyo celica gts rfpunch 45 the 1st series on 2 mtx blue thunder 10's in a compound loaded 5th order ported box, 1 side down from 20-38hz, other side from 35-75hz mb qt 6.5"s in the rear seat area, mb q tweets in the top of the doors and mb q 4" in the dash using factory loc running off maybe a dennon (memory is a little beer fuzzy from those days) amp...i went through so many amps back then that i truely can not say which it was at the time, could have also been a linear power 2 chan 50w or so a side. i had a nak td 700 and a sony aux switcher using a portable sony cd player (it had a digital dsp, eq and a fiber optic out), i was not ready to commit to cd only h/u yet..at some point i removed the sony switcher and put in an eclipse EQ1000 when they came out. i started out with a monolithic xover i had from my 1st car, and went to kenwood..i do not remember the mod #, but it was built by someone else for kenwood and had burr brown and a 24db slope to it, with more adjustability then the mono had, and no damn din plugs.. that car was a lot of fun for me, but i also remember on more then 1 occasion having to remove the sub box to travel, as it took up most of the space behind the back seats.. the quart tweets, i put in a thin layer of accoustic foam in the grill cloth to smooth their metal (imo) harshness. the car was a blast, only had 90 some odd hp, but still a blast to drive. drove it into the side of a tree due to bald tires and rain one afternoon...rear window busted, mdf got wet, box was toast..salveged most of the equip and sold it off to buy a car.
lol, gonna sound odd, but there's a DVD of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus-make her watch it! My missus made me watch it-not realising it wasn't all about men not doing what women want, most was pretty obvious, but it clearly states "men need their cave" ie: video games/TV/audio/fishing-just about anything we want to do we NEED to do, to stop us getting depressed and moody, helps us switch off after work etc and de-stress. Women just need us to listen (or pretend to) and not offer solutions! (I know, there we are trying to help by offering solutions and they don't want them!)
I might do that. My wife knows this stuff but family comes first. It just doesn't leave much time for my hobbies during the school year. I have extra time during the summer, but yard work takes over.
10 years ago, I had a Mini ITX carputer running Windows XP and Winamp, with a VFD 4x20 character serial display, driven by a custom visual basic app. I think I used a Logitech cordless game controller for volume and track selection. Some 4-channel Kenwood amplifier that I picked up on Craigslist for like 15 bucks. I think I may have had a cheap Pioneer 10 or something. No SQ to speak of. But the install looked great, there was a piece of tinted acrylic where the radio used to be, with nice chrome socket head cap screws in each corner. The display was behind it, with a blue gel, which matched all the ldash ighting in my truck. Wish I still had pictures of it. I was too poor to own a camera at the time.. But I had a bitchin system with tunes for days.

Thanks! I held onto that gear for a long time. It was the first good quality equipment I ever bought. I'm 44 and started working in car audio in April 1991. 21 years later and I'm still in the industry. I love it and will be involved until I retire as an old man.
