I got out all of my equipment so I could take pics and post it in the "stash" thread, upon doing so I also found some old PG pamphlets and some old car audio magazines. One of them features the reactor and has it on the cover.

Start scanning. I want to see the QX/SX brochures. Most of those mags of PG reviews I have already scanned and posted. See what you have that I do not and post those too, PLEASE.

CarSound was probably my favorite.

If I had a scanner, I'd scan it now for you. I'll look into getting one.

I miss the good ol days of so many car audio mags to choose from.
I used to love the Carsound one.

PDF is the way to go, by far the best way to share a document. Get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and you'll even be able to control compression rate and much more. PM me if you want it, i can upload to RS

I must admit I used to spend a fortune on all sorts of mags. Mostly about cars, car audio and home hifi. I must be responsible for a few trees cut down all by myself
I gave up buying them years ago as the cover prices started getting silly and I spent more time online.
So from what your saying I guess car audio mags are a thing of the past then?

These are just my CA&E issues,
These are a mix of the others, Car Sound, CSR, Road & Gear, PAS and AS&S.
All in all, I counted just over 240 issues.

I had a xerox paper box full of CA&E mags I sold on soundbuggy for $100 I wish I still had them but at the time $100 was needed more than a box of magazines in storage.

The '94 - '99 issues are about 100+ pages, then down to ~85 in '00 to their last issue (at least for CA&E). I'd say an avg of 100 pgs per is a good est.
I went through them all and scanned every review in them that was PG related.
I still re-read them from time to time, at least 1 issue every two weeks or so.
