I found some pics of the Demo Van that LANZAR had back in '95. Thought I'd share some old school w/yas.

HaHa!
I can't tell you how many times we had to fix that thing. Usually torched amps from dealers that had their head up their asses.
Many a nights
in that thing. haha Our installers even managed to get the Rep arrested one night cruising town with it and bailed on him when the cops showed up

No, we didn't build it. We just had to fix it every time it came around. Demo vans get pretty abused in their travels. I'm sure there was a reason we would get to see them periodically
They had like 3 of em around that time.
Ya .. send em back. I'll keep em around for the next Elite owner anxious about going active

Damnit why do you have to post this stuff? I never liked Lanzar when it was new and now that I'm as old as the hills the nostalgia is killing me. Anyone know the location of any of those vans? Or more importanly... the amps that were in them? I want them!

IIRC, it was 3-100's, 5-200's, and 6-500's.

HAHAHA ! What was it rated? 2 x 25w at 4 ohm stereo and 800w @ 1/2 ohm bridged! What cheater amp?! hehehe
I've seen my share of those go into TOTAL meltdown from under voltage. Man .. to look inside one afterward, it looked like someone just stood there and melted a a whole coil of solder all over the circuit boards.

There's one of those vans still running around here in S.C. I see it on the road every once in a while.

When you see it on the side of the road let me know. I can't install worth a damn but I can deconstruct just as well as any other sales guy.
