Old School

[gearhound17 10+ year member]

I dig the old school stuff.

I have had a Punch 150 from way back that worked flawlessly and currently have a 160.4 that I bought in 97.

That one work flawlessly as well.

I have owned Way to many Old School amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Quality control back then was top notch!

I bought a LANZAR Opti150 for $35.00 two years ago. Works like a dream. A bit rough on the outside, but none the less.

Now I must say, I'm disappointed that no one has mentioned old school PG gear. To me it's hands down the best there was in it's time. I have an M50 I'm replacing the caps on, a ZPA0.5 in my install, a ZX450v2 in my install and I'm always looking to get more. The MS2150/2250 are next on my list. Just waiting to get another job.

I also collect older HUs. Mostly clarions. I have a 7770- $30 off ebay, DRX9375R with the DPH9300, and a DRX9575Rz for $10- police auction. The 7770 is in 9/10 condition and the other two are 8/10. All work perfectly. And an Eclipse 8443.

I'm a Clarion guy too. I had each of those decks in succession. Great stuff.

I'm sure no one mentioned PG because it was a given. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I treasured my PGs and Orions. Those were the days.

I must say the older Clarion head units are nice. My buddy had a really good one back in 1992 and I was impressed with the looks and performance of it until his car got stolen. Clarion was top notch and hung right there with Alpine, Denon and Kenwood many years ago.

Thanks for showing the love for clarion. They'll come back around. The only down side to clarion right now is the cosmetics. Their performance is back on par, but it's the looks. I still love clarion and probably always will.

Still running a Clarion 9772RT Magi-Tune pull-out. Still working as good as it did in 91 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I would love to see a pic of that.

I would also love to see a picture of your setup RVega. Once an older amp is repaired will it continue to last and last?

Yeah, those Italians, Germans, English know nothing about building quality amplifiers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
