We're here. I've got a few PG items hiding, but I'm mostly an OS Clarion and LANZAR guy.

Good Vibes head Clarion and Phoenix Gold, while Pro Audio sold LANZAR. Good memory. Did you use to live near here?

Greenbush St. I used to make the rounds to all the shops. Remember Sound Lab ? They had PPI, MB Quart , JL Audio and some other high end stuff. A lot of high end home audio too.

remember when each town had 3-4 shops and it would take a day for you and your friends to make the rounds, bs with everyone and maybe even buy/install something?!

Those were the day's ! We had monthly competitions at Good Vibes (Car Wars) with some good items to win per month when the comps were going on! Hell HHGregg had good equipment back then in Lafayette.

What's considered old? My first "system" in a car back in 1994 consisted of a pro-logic Sony Tape player, with Sony mids and highs along with an M50 powering two first gen JL 12W1 subs in a band-pass box. I'm 40 these days, so that was back when I was in my teens, lol.

I'm still rocking a PG M25 (just go it), Audio Control EQX, JL 12W3 (first gen), PG XS2300, and some brand new PG Ti265cs separates up front.

I still want to get an M50 and an M100.
Daily Driver (van) - Alpine CDE-172BT, PG M25 - Polk Audio SR6500, PG M25 - Focal ICS 165, PG RSDC-124 - PG ZX350, PG EQ215x
Rustang - Pioneer DEH-X2700ui, Sapphire Sa3.0x - PG Ti2-65cs, Sapphire Sa1.0x - JBL GTO572, JL Audio 12w6 - Sapphire 3.0x, Cadence CD7 x-over
CRX - Pioneer DXT-2369UB, Sapphire Sa3.0x - Boston Pro 5.4, Sapphire Sa1.0x - Sony XS-602F, JL Audio 10w1 - PG SD200.2, PG EQ215ix

I still have my papers from CW12. That and the one show a year Pro Audio had were the only 2 I ever competed in.

H.H.Gregg......Do you know Bill Emery? A good friend of mine.

I'll bump this.

I'll be 43 next month so while I'm not old, I'm not young anymore either.
I'm still kicking around. Haven't dropped by in a few months. Finishing up school, along with other life events.

Last system was in 2006 with a/d/s components, diamond audio subs, and orion hcca for power. Have been heavily into home and pro audio since then, but after a long break from car audio, finally building a new system for this summer.
