One of the first (old school JL Audio)

[TakeABao]

This is for all the folks on this forum who appreciate the minimalistic beauty of old school car audio equipment and not that chromed-out bling-bling Audiobahn crap.

Behold, one of the original, JL Audio Reference series amplifiers from the early 1990s:














This will be going on sale sometime within the next few days -- after I get over my nostalgia. I am entertaining all REASONABLE offers on this rare piece.

Specs are as follows:

50x2 @ 4 ohm
100x2 @ 2 ohm
200x1 @ 4 ohm bridged

If ever there was an opportunity to own a piece of history, this is it.

What do you feel is reasonable for this? I have no set dollar figure that somebody needs to offer me in order for me to sell it. Please keep this to PM, AIM or Yahoo.

oldskool

That's supposed to be old skool?

I grew up with Amps like the Rockford Fosgate Punch 75, Punch 150, Power 650, Power 1000, Alpine 3522 (I think, about 30w x 2), Linear Power, Orion 2350 (that was a beast!), Pyle A200, Pyle A400.

That was back in the mid 1980's. I had a job at a movie theater, and a friend had a job at a stereo store.

I still remember my first system -- A Kenwood cassette deck with a Sony Discman wired through the cassette adaptor, a Kenwood crossover, an Alpine 30w x 2 amp on a set of Phase Linear 5.25" door speakers, Punch 75 on a pair of Polk Audio 6x9's in the back deck, then a Punch 150 on a pair of Eminance 10's in the trunk. It was in a 1976 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Had the stock deck still in place, then the Kenwood in the ash tray. (I loved that big old ash tray..) Then I bought a Alpine CD Player back in about '87 that I paid over $500 for. My brother still has that same Alpine in his truck!!

I wish I never sold those Power 1000's and Power 650's that I had just after that....

Old school as in "at least I was born when this stuff was around." I was still crawlin' around in my mum's womb when you were playin' with your [real] old school RF stuff.

I didn't know JL made amps way back when.

It looks similair to my Linear Power amps.

And I remember those old RF Punch amps.

[cam2Xrunner]

They were made by PPI. Looks similar to the old Crutchfield amps that PPI made for them.

Cool amp.
