Memories of the 90's in car audio AKA THE GOLDEN YEARS there is nothing like the old school car audio. LEGENDS IN THE GAME OF THIS HOBBY NICE VID UPLOAD BIG D AWESOME.......
I had a full McIntosh system in my 60’s Benz back in the 90’s. That was superb. In other vehicles Phoenix Gold, MB Quart, Focal, Soundstream Human Reign and Davinci, Alpine Blackbird, Sony ES,
What a great year in review video your supporters really came through with some killer Old School gear and swag congratulations on your success Big D your channel is amongst the best around Lets have another great year of awesome content👍🏽
Thanks big D great video to start the new year! Looking forward to a deeper dive on some of this equipment. BTW I'm a HUGE cassette collector that sony you have there is gold I had to pause the video and drool a bit 😁
Brings back memories MTX Blue thunder pros 4 15” powered by some MTX amps, huge capacitor, all in the back of a Geo Tracker, minus the back seat of course. Couldn’t wait to get my hands on the latest Car Stereo Review magazine.
Thank you for this video, this old school audio equipment really brought back good memories. I appreciate you Big D for all your hard work you put in for your fans. Much love and respect bro!

Big D do some more vids like this please. Nostalgic heaven! In the 80's 90's my older brother would bring home catalogues and brochures from Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, Trio, etc etc and I would drool over them and plan my set up for my future car. Big dreams that didn't happen. But i'm enjoying your vids and getting inspired to start a project! Great work mate! You're so lucky to have stuff donated to you...especially in original packaging!
Wow remember those days good,1000 watts was good back then.Started installing 89-90 and still a system in my truck,alittle overboard but so much more sound these days in a smaller space.
I had a Blaupunkt gooseneck eq back in the day. Also the Kenwood 4042. I still have my old 97 Rockford fosgate amp and a 5 channel sound stream in my basement.
I was just looking at the KEF150 5" bookshelf speakers like 45 minutes before I put this on. They happen to be on sale on Crutchfield right now $300 for a pair,usually they are $600.... But I digress, this was a great video showing off all the nick-nacks that you got an shouting out a few people! Spread the love!
That first alpine six channel amp that you show in this segment is one of the best amplifiers in my opinion I ran it at two ohms on all six channels and it handled it for five years in my car every day extensively Until they stole stole it
Congrats on your channel success. I remember being into your videos a few years ago and recently have been thinking about car audio again so had to track you back down. I graduated HS in 1990 so I grew up in the heyday of the car audio rise of the 80's and 90's. IASCA competitions, RF Punch, Orion, Alpine, Kenwood, Audio Control etc. Those Alpine head units with the lime green chicklet buttons give me a visceral reaction when I see them still to this day. A thousand watt system that would "romp" but also sounded clean was the stuff us broke HS kids dreamed of. Especially when a Punch 45 was like 250 bucks. That's 5 bucks a watt! Now it seems that the culture these days, with $100 Class D amps that alone can pump out well over 1kw and speakers with tires for cone surrounds, bouncing quarters off a roof isn't a novelty anymore, it's the norm!
Some cool memories. I still have a punch 360.6 from 1998 sitting in the original box. It's a grey one with gold end caps, warranty tags still intact too.
Idk after this vid I feel like sending you some old car audio stuff I’m sure I’m not alone. So maybe a few times a year you can show us your collection of stuff. Keep it up your the man bIg D!
Hey Big D!! Great info. I was in Toronto in 95,& pioneer was showing off their ODR (Optical Digital Reference) equipment. Have you hear of this? Back then they said this was the future of car audio. All their hook ups were fiber optic. This was at an IASCA show I was at back in da day!!
I hate that their were so many things I wanted when when I was a kid. But we barely had heat in the winter time or food let alone super expensive stereo equipment.
I worked at Custom Car Stereo in Colorado Springs Colorado in the 80's. Hi-phonics had the power from the gods series, still soldering caps and coils on the speakers.
That sony X-over threw me off at 1st. I had flash backs of my old acoustic xm3. Gotta go dig it up I used to keep some of my old stuff on my "I love me" wall like my Itasca badges punch 45s Crutchfield amp Goust sub Orion preampi hope I still have all that tucked away somewhere
This video took me back to the 90's. Time spent looking through the catalogues & browsing the car audio stores. Alpine was always the go to brand for sound quality back then. The Japanese brands were the only ones you could find in the UK at that time, until the mid 90's when the US stuff started to be available in the stores.
Awesome, congrat's Derick! Awesome equipment, it all takes me back! I need to get going on my install, I plan to document it here on youtube, as well. Vintage equipment going into my championship 1996 Mustang SVT Cobra (Mystic)! :)
I live in Fort Wayne Indiana witch is about 20 mins from Huntington Indiana where the Pyle factory was...this area was flooded with Pyle speakers. It might be just nostalgic for me but I love old school Pyle stuff!
Grew up in the eighties in Tempe Arizona and as some of you well know it's a very high quality amplifiers were born in that part of the world well I got caught up in the bug of the passion for car stereo and it was my life for many many years. When I saw the Sony products you just unboxed it it lit up my heart I remember that stuff. With a great fondness.. my obsession started as a student at the high school across the street was a small stereo shop that always had the best you could get for car stereo at the time it was Alpine epi. And I was lucky enough a few years after high school to get a job there is an installer and it where's my life for many many years as I said before. When I had the ability to make the purchase I went all in on Alpine and fosgate.
I have an all Alpine system in my 86 Vette. I’d love to have that 6 channel amp for it. The 5 channel I’m currently using is not quite loud enough. Love the channel Big D.
Oh man Big D! Just saw my subs. Brad from Legends got the pallet of the Extacy subs from me, SpeakerAddict 🔈🔉🔊 I hooked him up cuz he was supposed to use them on a big vintage install... (C-mon Brad, where is it :) I still have a couple floating around. Gotta get him to send you an old Sweet Poison. Anyway. The subs came from the man himself, Avi at B52 pro audio. They still build many lines of pro audio and guitar amps completely from scratch right here in So Cal. I gotta send you some gear. I've got tons, mostly speakers though. Been installing since the 80s. LOVE LOVE LOVE the vids! Anyway, I'm outta heeeea
The tech that has disappeared is the old under dash equalizer/amplifier. You can't find them anymore. Remember when you could put a 10 band/120W EQ/amp under the dash and run speaker wires to the back dash (which was mostly carpeted fiberboard)?
The Alpine A-R90S is their current version of that. X10 high pass on 1&2, with 250x2 on 5&6. Perfect for a sweet 3 way setup, or a 5 channel system. I would still use that classic one if I had it.
Man those old spade terminals on the speaker! Reminds me when I first got in car/home audio. I never had money so when I got something like a speaker instead of properly hooking it up I would just twist the wire and put in through the hole of the connector and wrap it around itself. Using car speakers inside on my receiver, knowing nothing about what ohms and resistance means.
Yeaaah Boooii!!!!... Those old goose neck EQs n the late 80s were really wild. IIRC kenwood had a few models too. Those pyramid models still were around $250 iirc at my local flea market, not cheap by any means. My buddy had that sony 4xch amp powering some boston acoustics separates in his 89 crx. Yep crutchfield catalogs were the best!!! If you ever get a chance, check out the crutchfield store brand amps from the late 80s... they were made by ppi at the time and were really good for the $. Have a great 2021 buddy!!!
0:58 I have that same punch 40.2!! great hitting amp, unfortunately the output stage let out the magic smoke, but I kept the amp and I'm capable of repairing it, just haven't got to it yet.
I would love to look through those car audio electronic magazines once again just to see all the good old installs If you send me some I promise I'll send them right back
You know by today's standards my old amps would be considered weak but I ran two kicker 240's bridged down, one per sub. Now they were 4,2,&1 ohm stable and I should add that I also ran a cadence QR-7 crossover with 7 volt line driver which you almost never hear about any more but what an improvement they made boosting the line voltage before the amps . Also I should add that the two kicker amps had been rebuilt and may have had an upgrade when rebuilt but those little guys slammed in my little hatchback! Deep bass!!! In fact we hit 144 DB and they had the meter in the floorboard and we found that there was a lot of junk under the seat so I wonder what it would have ran if the junk would have been cleaned out first! However it was my first time attending a stereo competition!
I had an XEC-1000 back at the end of the 90’s into the 2000’s. I really wish I knew where it went. That thing was mint at the time. I’d never trade it for any of the audio control stuff I’ve got now, but it would be neat to have to show how far I’ve come since those early days of audio gear.
I had a chance to buy a pair of those Ecstacy subs brand new for damn cheap and didn't. Up to this day I kick myself for not getting them. Having something like that pop up here in Belize is like winning the lottery.
I remember the first time I heard the Kef Kar 6 1/2 speakers in a maxima, it was the rep car, I kept looking for the tweeters in the a pillars. The center tweeter made the highs sound like they were above the dash.. Great sounding speakers, but the passive crossovers were the size of a small amp. The rep had Kef, Velodyne and I think Rodek. Best sounding sub with 300 rims, the velodrome servo sub was so accurate, best sound q sub
1:59 The satin black Alpine with the faux wood grain reminds me of classy mid 90s Mercedes automobiles and Pioneer Elite home audio gear. It also reminds me of mid 80s Ford Ranger dashboards. Either way I like it
@@csj9619 yuppers, mine was a 1974 mustang 2 hatchback, lowerd on its ass ,for my cross over for the subs, I had found two bass coils, cause the amp was full range two channle, with a split box sealed!!!! I had no idea about ohms law yet, so yeah ,ran the amp in stereo, 4ohm!!
Would like to see you test some of the android head units off amazon and ebay and also start showing the accuracy of the clip light on some of the amps you test Love the channel
Most of my stuff was stolen in the 90's but I'll see what I can find to send next year. I have a Proton D275 but you already tested one of those. I'm sure I can find something Class A. Love your videos. Liked and Subscribed. Keep it up!

Back in the 90s I would get so excited when a new Crutchfield catalog came in the mail!
Like Christmas
We all did.
Yes! High prices and all!
Hell yes. I miss a good paper catalog to flip through.
Hell yes
Forget about Crutchfield I remember that Pyramid EQ in JC Whitney!!
hell yea. old school.
JC Whitney with their "1000" watt subwoofers lol.
HELL YA! All that sweet Chinese I mean American goodness. I loved that mag
Really awesome stuff ppl sent you, takes me back, really appreciate a blast from the past when things were so much easier, if you gre up in the 80s and 90s you really know what life has to offer before these phones ruined everything.
Nostalgia is cool 😎

Yeah, I ran a boss 400 on those super pros
And Orion was good but I never gotten the privelidge
Memories of the 90's in car audio AKA THE GOLDEN YEARS there is nothing like the old school car audio. LEGENDS IN THE GAME OF THIS HOBBY NICE VID UPLOAD BIG D AWESOME.......
My first amp was a punch 40 pushing to punch 8's. It came out in 1997, my senior year of high school. Big D,your videos are making me feel old.
Doug Bernard has a pair of the extacy 10s in his sons car. He built a bandpass enclosure like they show in their catalog
Indeed for his sons car !
I think they’re from the same source.
Yes they were from the same person
So cool giving a shout out to Brad at Legends. I am also a member, and an admin in the group. Love me some old school car audio.
I had a full McIntosh system in my 60’s Benz back in the 90’s. That was superb. In other vehicles Phoenix Gold, MB Quart, Focal, Soundstream Human Reign and Davinci, Alpine Blackbird, Sony ES,
Autosound and Security mag was always opened in my room.
I have hundreds of car audio magazines an I still have them an cherish.
Let me send you a Deka Liquid SC subwoofer! i got like 5 of them. Those are really rare from the early 90s. Lol
So much cool "old school" technology! We audio enthusiasts cannot wait to see them tested!
What a great year in review video your supporters really came through with some killer Old School gear and swag congratulations on your success Big D your channel is amongst the best around Lets have another great year of awesome content👍🏽
I’m about to pick up an old school Alpine amp right now and more excited after watching this, thanks for the vids, keep em comin😎🤘💪✊️🇺🇸
I need that
I got myself one. It's "only" 500W one but I suspect it's putting out more than that
Best part of 2o2o? B I g D Wizzle.
Thanks big D great video to start the new year! Looking forward to a deeper dive on some of this equipment. BTW I'm a HUGE cassette collector that sony you have there is gold I had to pause the video and drool a bit 😁
i saw a clarion gooseneck eq in a customers car back in the 90s. pretty cool
May 2023 here I been rocking with you since day one brotha....I appreciate you doing this videos...
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Brings back memories MTX Blue thunder pros 4 15” powered by some MTX amps, huge capacitor, all in the back of a Geo Tracker, minus the back seat of course. Couldn’t wait to get my hands on the latest Car Stereo Review magazine.
Those old woofers would make a good showpiece , they are beautiful.
Those Ecstasy's look they were going to be the upscale FunkyPup
reminds me of thump audio
Urban audio subwoofers looked like that also
Thank you for this video, this old school audio equipment really brought back good memories. I appreciate you Big D for all your hard work you put in for your fans. Much love and respect bro!
Damn old school stuff!!!! My small tool chest still has a Rockford Fosgate authorized dealer decal from 1994 on it when I was an installer.
For the love of God, I want that McIntosh! Nice! 👍
I've got some really dope stuff to show you guys this year, trying to space out the coolness, but yeah boi, it's coming!
@@wal Looking forward to it!
Me as well. And everyone else who watches the videos.
Man I’m beginning to really love the old school gear !! Pyramid old school Rockford it’s just cool 😎

Do you mean the store or the items ?

Beauty alpine. Luxman owned alpine during this era. Alpine home audio was available also. Awesome stuff
Wow! I remember wanting one of those pyramid equalizers! Nice memory.
I had that goose neck EQ back in the day. It worked great for about 6 months when it just didn't anymore.
The gooseneck eq got me.... Now im curious 🤣
I love those 90's Sony XM series amplifiers!
Pretty sure I had the 4ch version of that
Alpine. Sweet!
Think mine is still in the basement
i have seen ecstacy woofers here in the Netherlands early 2000''s
They look almost identical to California Profile woofers.

I wanted some of those Ectasy subs. Dang the memories

Yep crutchfield catalogs were the best!!! If you ever get a chance, check out the crutchfield store brand amps from the late 80s... they were made by ppi at the time and were really good for the $. Have a great 2021 buddy!!!
0:58 I have that same punch 40.2!! great hitting amp, unfortunately the output stage let out the magic smoke, but I kept the amp and I'm capable of repairing it, just haven't got to it yet.
Now I see why you moved year back. You needed more acreage!
Love your videos as always brother :D
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have been in the car radios since the late 80s and I've always wanted one of those pyramid gooseneck eqs that is cool
Oh man the Clarion one with the digital display is the ticket!
I would love to look through those car audio electronic magazines once again just to see all the good old installs If you send me some I promise I'll send them right back
Okay who remembers the Alpine Erag320 in dash eq???? I am 20+ years later still looking for that. I would love to install it in my rig!
You know by today's standards my old amps would be considered weak but I ran two kicker 240's bridged down, one per sub. Now they were 4,2,&1 ohm stable and I should add that I also ran a cadence QR-7 crossover with 7 volt line driver which you almost never hear about any more but what an improvement they made boosting the line voltage before the amps . Also I should add that the two kicker amps had been rebuilt and may have had an upgrade when rebuilt but those little guys slammed in my little hatchback! Deep bass!!! In fact we hit 144 DB and they had the meter in the floorboard and we found that there was a lot of junk under the seat so I wonder what it would have ran if the junk would have been cleaned out first! However it was my first time attending a stereo competition!
That QR1 is super neat!
I had an XEC-1000 back at the end of the 90’s into the 2000’s. I really wish I knew where it went. That thing was mint at the time. I’d never trade it for any of the audio control stuff I’ve got now, but it would be neat to have to show how far I’ve come since those early days of audio gear.
I had a chance to buy a pair of those Ecstacy subs brand new for damn cheap and didn't. Up to this day I kick myself for not getting them. Having something like that pop up here in Belize is like winning the lottery.
I remember the first time I heard the Kef Kar 6 1/2 speakers in a maxima, it was the rep car, I kept looking for the tweeters in the a pillars. The center tweeter made the highs sound like they were above the dash.. Great sounding speakers, but the passive crossovers were the size of a small amp. The rep had Kef, Velodyne and I think Rodek. Best sounding sub with 300 rims, the velodrome servo sub was so accurate, best sound q sub
I used to have a big version of that SPL amp. Also I had the subs when they came in a dedicated suite case for each speaker. Memories
I have a 15" nib
Raging with jealousy here. Them Car Audio and Stereo Review mags plus the purple subs are indeed my favorite.
Thanks brother
boy some great stuff, now lets see if you can get ahold of a Omnivox pa250 amp, or a lear jet amplifier... classics i had back in the mid 80s
Congratulations Big D!!!!
1:59 The satin black Alpine with the faux wood grain reminds me of classy mid 90s Mercedes automobiles and Pioneer Elite home audio gear. It also reminds me of mid 80s Ford Ranger dashboards. Either way I like it
😬👍
Those ecstasy subs in fact did come out and I had a pair of them when I was a kid
I remember back in da day, I had a set on "m,m" 10 inch subs,completely see through cones,and a unic amp,!!!
Unic 100×2 was my first amp in my first car (1967 VW Beetle). I purchased it at Mad Mark's in Bradenton, Florida around 1993.
@@csj9619 yuppers, mine was a 1974 mustang 2 hatchback, lowerd on its ass ,for my cross over for the subs, I had found two bass coils, cause the amp was full range two channle, with a split box sealed!!!! I had no idea about ohms law yet, so yeah ,ran the amp in stereo, 4ohm!!
I would love to see any of the Sony amps on the Dyno
Oh yeah Big D that store that gave me the complements for best sound quality sold McIntosh!! Respect!!!
👌😬👍
Would like to see you test some of the android head units off amazon and ebay and also start showing the accuracy of the clip light on some of the amps you test
Love the channel
Fun videos. Back hobby time and chilo
Most of my stuff was stolen in the 90's but I'll see what I can find to send next year. I have a Proton D275 but you already tested one of those. I'm sure I can find something Class A. Love your videos. Liked and Subscribed. Keep it up!
My 90's alpine car alarm cost $2000 installed, all black wiring, kill switch, proximity sensor, back up siren, internal screamer, & pager.
Wow the good old days were expensive! People tend to forget
Man, I would love to get my hands on some of those old magazines!
I'm still running the old punch 150 on a set of phoenix gold sapphirea in the doors and a Panasonic CQ tx 5500 head unit.all works perfectly
Wohne zwar in Deutschland, aber deine Tests sind super. Bin ebend selbst auf der Suche nach einem Mono Amp für zwei MTX Subwoofer....
