I still have one of those Crossfire 202's new in the box along with a couple smaller 142's (I think). Never have hooked them up. Might try 'em in a Chevelle SS I take to local cruise-in's and shows.
I had a set of 10" OZ sub's and you are completely right, that company came out of nowhere didn't it? Mineral filled cones. I don't remember the specs but, they had to be highly sensitive. I only had 200 watts running two subs and they were plenty loud and accurate.
Those Orion XTR's were all the rage for awhile too. Especially when DVC's became available. A very good SQL sub I thought.
You are completely right on the XM-3 as well. Best deal ever on a inexpensive way to go active. Small footprint and a nice quiet design. Wonder how many thousands of those were sold?
Your final pic: you can always tell a true audio-head. We'll sacrifice comfort, convenience and practicality for great sound everytime! LOL!
Great stuff!
Thanks for the comments. I wouldn't know where to begin on the comments for others on this thread. For a while there, I was wondering if I were the only one who still loved car audio when quality counted.
I guess I do have something to put in here. I got this thing a few years ago on a whim...paid like $30 for it. I plan on putting it in the largish recommended 1.75 cube sealed box for it and running it in the VW to see what it can do. Its a 1st gen. ID12. Not sure if it is 4 or 8 ohms. Not even sure how old it is exactly. Oh well....as long as it sounds good.
Well, I didn't need another one but, I picked this up recently...
...MTX Terminator MTA 225 in white.
I now have 5 Terminators and would LOVE to work out a trade with someone for a PPI 2350DM in black...hint, hint!
DUDE! where do you find all these things!!!!????!!!!
I really want to find a BTA & MTA set 225& 250's...

Nope... Just to help debunk some of the stupidity of DIYMA..
I'd love to show you guys my RF power 650 Mosfet with chrome shroud, sadly it was ripped off about 13 years ago... I had the chrome off at the time but tossed it out a couple years ago, it was just too painfull to look at... Then last year to my stupid giddy excitement I found a RF power 300 at a "Liquidation World" store of all places, I snagged it for fifty bucks! I'll post a pick when I get a chance.

I have 2 of those Blues 10's right now in my car in a pre-fab sealed box Bought them off Craigslist along with a very nice condition Alpine 3539 150x2 amp for $150. Looks like it was all bought new as a package and wired as such. They sound really nice and I feel fortunate to have found them.
That Kicker 10 is awesome. I loved that series and would like to find a pair of 15s.
All five of my MTX Terminators are for sale as well. I'll make someone a great package deal. I just have too many amps laying around in the way that will never use.
Of course, I will probably regret selling them...don't we always do that?
tomtomjr ...thanks for those pix. Funny thing ...just the other day I was thinking about the first real external amp I remember owning was a Sanyo PA6100.

One of the first car audio systems I lusted after was a CRX. I remember the two 10" Nak subs that just happen to be for sale here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-School-NAKAM...3%3A1|294%3A50 I think it had all Nak gear too.

EQT's were always so bloody expensive for what they were. How much did those cost you back then? Dig the old skool slide out drawer though
Yep, they were pricey, but I used to work for a dealer so it wasnt an issue. I ended up switching to a DOD converted EQ later. The drawer that home depot built, motorized by Hirschmann.

You sir are absolutley correct. the car was a white 1986 CRX, not an Si unfortunately. Looking back it was amazing just how much work went into the car, a little bit here and a little bit there. The car was pretty much swiss cheese by the time it was done. Man, I miss that car though, a lot of memories.
