Old School Car Audio Installs Compilation - Volume 1
Ғылым және технология
I decided it was time to show off some of the cool old school car audio installs I've seen over the years. You'll see some simple and also some very complex installs in this video. If you guys like these types of videos, I'll try to put one out every 2 months or so. You may not know the names, but I like to show off all old school systems!

I love looking back at the old school installs. Thanks for the memories.
Damn, this brings back memories. I loved installs back in the day. Whatever happened to clean installs and systems? All I see anymore at comps and meets are unfinished boxes, glue, foam, paint and wires everywhere.

There’s a young kid on you tube named Jacob and he showcases installs. He so enthusiastic about installs it’s cool but almost everything he shoots looks like garbage and the vehicles look like they’re about to fall apart. I miss when people took pride in their systems appearance.
Very cool love those installs they really bring back memories.

The box that rocks! Loved those things. Man this channel bring backs my youth. From 1991-2002 car audio was my life. Won many many competitions. Won my region in IASCA pro 301-600 every year for maybe 7 straight years. Rockford, us amps, mtx, JL audio, linear power, eclipse, pioneer super tuner head units! I lived a breathed all this old school stuff. Love this channel big D my spl vehicle in 1999 was a 1984 Chevy Astro van with 12 mtx black gold 15’s and 6 crunch 600’s. Only competed spl that year. Honestly didn’t do so good. 157’s was all I consistently got. My sound q vehicle changed every year. Since I was dealer all my equipment was free or heavily discounted, so in the off season I did a new install every year. My favorite sound q vehicle I ever did was for 1999 world finals. Eclipse 5303 head unit. MB quart 3 way component up front. 8’s in doors, 6.5 and tweeters in kick panels. Single solobaric 12, the first year of square ones, and 2 USA-300 from us amps. Placed 6th that year at finals. One place away from being on stage.
Loved Linear Power. My first car amps and they sounded great.

This is still one of my favorite videos from you, good job, I keep watching it cuz I've actually seen and heard a couple of those systems role through Florida.
Memories... thanks for taking me back! I wish I kept some of my goodies from back then.
I love those Rockford power series in the beginning!! Friend had two 12’s in a crx and that shit was so loud!! It was what got me into bass at 14 years old😍. Those 2 15” solo barics were bad ass too!! Had two of them in a 93 integra. LOUD!!!
Some of these installs blow my mind! So fresh, so clean!

I was waiting to see some MTX subs in here. Thanks for the video. It's really dope brings back memory's.
Makes me wish I took more pics back in the day. Bieng a teen in the mid 90's was the golden age of car audio. JL audio, Orion, pioneer, eclipse, alpine. Soundstrean, Lanzar, PPI, Cerwin Vega, and Pyle drivers, LOL! I can't name them all. God I wish I could go back to those days and make better choices in life in general, but it was a good time. I do have one video on my channel showing some old school Orion xtr subs I blew and replaced with kicker CVX'S, which are awesome. The kicker CVX is the same as the square kicker solobaric L7. Same voice coil, and motor, just round instead of square, and they slam with better clarity, but a bit less output than the square design. Thanks for the old school video, I enjoyed it. This really took me back and made me reminisce.
Nice. Love the old school stuff. I Was happy to see those Orion amps at the end there. I'm totally going to dig out some gold to submit. I have some good ones.
Beautiful installs.
I LOVE IT! Install from back when I was young!
I wish I would've had some pictures of a couple of my old school installs. I had an 89 Beretta with two Image Dynamics 15s on two 1500 watt amps with two 5 farad caps and two gel cell batteries. I blew out my rear windshield in front of my high school and got suspended. Then I had two JL Audio W-0 15s on two Kenwood 1000 watt amps with a Sony Xplod tape deck and Sony 10 disc CD changer and MB Quart 5x7 split sets in the doors. I had 4 of the round Kicker Solobaric 10s on a Soundstream Reference 1000x4 amp in my Integra. I have always been a basshead.
Love the old school installs.... takes me back to my youth

BigDWiz I bet you did. How could you not really? You're living the dream too BigD. I hope you don't take that lightly, like many do. Despite our problems, which I think are miniscule compared to how it has been in the past, this is truly a great time to be living in the USA. I think people just need to realize this, and embrace what we have. Revel in the old school, but take advantage of the new school opportunities that we have. Like you seem to be doing. That's part of why I love your channel so much. You love the old stuff, and celebrate it. But you don't *live* in the past. And you keep an open mind on new audio gear too. I do this myself also, and have an assortment of both new and old gear for my home and car setups. Keep up the awesome work BigD. You're doing great.
Oh hell yes the old school kicker solos those things bumped hard.

Would you have any suggestions? The A/D/S set must have been at least 1" of soft dome + shell. They nearly fit into stock 3 1/2" dash mounts.

I think we may see a resurgence with events like RADwood but OEMs learned from this era and incorporated the best designs into factory systems negating the need for upgrades. We now have amazing factory speaker placement, multi-channel outboard amps, time alignment, crossovers, and integration with devices we didn't even know were possible in 1995. I was about to rip out the stereo in my 2015 Wrangler until I realized it just needed a better head unit. Alpine already gave me a 45 watt x 12 amp in the dash with EQ and some amazing sounding speakers. Obviously a single subwoofer with 4 voice coils getting only 180 watts isn't anything to write home about, but I value my cargo space too much these days. However, for the 1985 Toyota MR2 we picked up a few years ago, I'm piecing together a nice vintage setup that should turn heads and bring back memories at car shows.
Awesome video.

Best subs on here, 15” power series @ 7:00. Had a set running 2 punch 200ix, best sounding system I’ve ever owned!
love those cerwin strokers, damn! i have two myself :D
So many memories
My first system was all new old stock parts in my first car, a Honda Civic. MB Quart 100 x 4 amp, 6 1/4"Jamo factory speakers w/ fiberglass cones, and Jamo 1" soft dome tweeters. Each driver was only 5 bucks, so I bought two tweeters per woofer and made a bridge out of duct tape and epoxy above each woofer to hold the two tweeters like some crazy dual coaxial shit. No crossover on the woofers, running em' full range, with the tweeters using a 1st order at 5k. It actually rocked hard and sounded great. At some point I even took my circa 2002 12" MTX home theater sub and put it in my trunk running on an inverter. So loud in the back seat it gave my friends headaches hahaha. Those were the days. My system sounds much better now and is cleaner, but nothing like those old bootlegin sound days.
NICE OLD SCHOOL AUDIO 👍

I first had an 800w 2-Channel amp(Can't remember what amp it was) and a 10" Bassline Alpine in a Bazooka Tube Box, then I got a Rockford Fosgate Punch 400x4 Trans Ana and a 12" Sony Xplod from I believe the late 90s early 2000's. Now I have the same sub but a 760w Pioneer GM-5000t Amplifier and it's made me happy since. All hooked up in my house as a home stereo. I've had an Exonic Head unit, and now a Sony Xplod CDX-GT330.
