Show your old school gear (if you have any)
 

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum yet not new to car audio.
It seams that there is so many people in the U.S. that have old school gear like amps etc.
Sometimes I feel that I'm the only one that has old equipment.
I was wondering if anyone else has some nice good old stuff.
I will start the ball rolling with just a couple of my amps.
Here goes. The first one (ESX 60.4) is currently in my daily driver today.

hev u sold the small one in the last pic

Beautiful amps man, especially that Crunch amp. Years ago I used to have a similar one pushing two 8" crunch bass tubes. The speakers sounded like ass but the amp was bulletproof. I'll take a pic or two tomorrow if I can hunt down some of my old stuff.

thats some great stuff there zeus is the boss... had that on 2 jl w 4 and it shaked!!!!

Zeus
 

I actually have a few Zeus one still brand new the others mint.
Believe it or not I have yet to install them in a car to hear them.
I have had them for a while too.
I know they will rip my alternator and or battery to shreds though.
I sold my Zeus VIII to a guy and he said that when he turns up the volume it dimms his dash and everything goes low...hehe.
Great amps made well.
These are almost 15 years old not like today's amps which don't survive more than a year or two.

Come on, am I the only one that has anything?

Well either no one reads these posts or no one on this forum has any old school amps.
If that is the case what the heck are you all using?

L.

I've got an old Eclipse model # 3121 amp, with an old Alpine crossover, model # 3653. Combination works great for a single MTX 6000 series 12. :smilie_da I'll get some pics up, when I get them unpacked.

cool can't wait to see them.

I actually have 5 brand new crunch in thier boxes to top it off there are 2 guys wanting to buy 2 of them. I don't know what to do.

No I still have it, actually i'm also waiting for 2 more mint ones just like it in their boxes. If you want one let me know.
Remember these are mint and never repaired!.

Stephen Mantz is the man... I've spoken to him via email, a really nice guy for sure.

I'd love to get my hands on an old Autotek Mean Machine or so... but they're damn hard to come by... so I'll probably go with his new line of amps. They're supposed to be serious business and they're decently priced as well!

i have the kenwood kac-720

I'll post my setup later this week...:headbang:

i got a Kenwood KAC-606 but it's toast

come on guys I can't be the only one that has old school amps.!!!

Here you go, this is my setup, as it has been in my last 5 cars. Works great, won't change it until one of them blows.

people don't want to know where my old school gear went that was taking up space....... :salook:

I don't bother with the new stuff.
That is why this thread is called "Old Shool Amps"
hehe
Thanks anyway.
The new stuff can be posted in 10 years and i wonder if they will be in good shape or will even work.heheh

L.

The "new" stuff is Made in China, and blows on it's own after a year...

A LOT of companies sold out and it really is a shame.

so true

The new stuff won't work in 10 years.:smilie_d0

old school all the way
 

I guess i have to keep this thread alive.
