How old skool is this setup? :D - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Orion Cobalt 2100 amp (400w RMS, not rated at peak like the cheap junk!) and two 12" Audiobahn subs, in an Audiobahn box, before they went all chrome and crappy!

I picked this stuff up today from a guy on Craigslist. Cheap too! He said he grew out of it and wanted it out of the garage. I also got new Monster interlink cables and a new in box MTX crossover thrown in!

I tested everything, and it all works, but the amp is under rated for these subs. When I tried them with my Kenwood KAC-929s, they POUNDED! Like, really good sounding!

I took one of the grilles off so you can see what the subs look like. I do have both.

So, figured I'd share. Anyone know the age of the items?

well, the crossover I know is about 4-6 years old...and wasn't too bad for it's time, though by today's stadareds it is a crutch

Not really old school at all..

I have a first generation JL Audio amplifier (made by PPI in Phoenix, AZ) from the late 80s... as well as a now-non-functional Sony CDX-C910...

88 LE has some really nice old school Linear Powers...

Well, I consider 1996 to be old school! Least that's the date on the amp. Not sure about the subs.

I don't know about the Orion Cobalt amps, but the Orion HCCAs are old school.

On the right side of your pic. Are those a bunch of hard drives all stacked up?

Yup.

They went out of business, so good luck finding one. My friend bought a 3.2HV directly from them last year. It was their last production run on that amp and he had to wait a few months for it (they were out of some parts).

There was a 2.2HV on eBay awhile back, but the guy wanted to much for it.

And speaking of old school I also have a AudioControl EQX (the original one).

Yah, those are hard drives. I co-own a PC shop, and I have literally around 400 hard drives in my basement!

Old school is cool! I am about to do a retro system in my Celica.
Punch 150hd for a single Fosgate Audiophile 10.
Punch 75hd for my kicker Impulse 4.2i's (been in the car since 95)
punch 30hd for rear fill
Source is a Clarion DRX7375 with the hideaway EQ Crossover.

I also have a Power 300 and a Power 100hd (the 300 is in the car now running my round Kicker solobaric 10's)
