haha, if you don't want to remind yourself of how old you are, you probably shouldn't quote John Cleese either!

O.k i finally got the GN clip uploaded. I'm not too sure what the copyright law is for post an old video clip from TV. I might have to deleted it in a day or so.

Anyways enjoy...

Just click on the pic.

Now that was truly cool So many neat old school things, and so many wrongs that would be horror if seen today

The GN vid was very entertaining to watch. 27 speakers, $27,000 spent and an install that today most DIY guys in their backyard could better. 5 Linear Power Amps, EQT's, Alpine head unit, 2 10s, 2 12s and I guess 3 15s in it, all stuffed under the rear deck. That thing must have bonked 70 Hz like a *****!

Loved the other vids too. What did the Colt have in it? The owner said he had the biggest system in town. Well, what else are you going to say on TV, eh? And I saw Joe judging install under the hood of that one car! The old Datsun pickup was great too. Diamond-pleat vinyl upholstery and speakers everywhere they will fit Ah yes, it was indeed the mid-80s. Totally throws me back to the first sound-offs we went to that JB's in Edmonton sponsored in the early 90s.

There a short clip of the Dodge Colt system (amps & eq) in the first video (Big bird Sound balloon). BTW, thats the same Colt that was in the Old Timer thread... with four Nakamich Amps, EQX, Epicenter.

Notice........ in the ole days, It was more about sound then flashy installs. and nowadays SQ seems to takes the back seat. maybe thats why there were so much interest in SQ back then vs now.

Right on. I totally missed the vid with the balloon. Seeing those pics of Brentwood Mall then it interesting. There is a now a covered walkway and a bus exchange right where the cars were parked, the Minit Lube has shut-down and the gas station on the corner was torn down a few years ago.

The focus was for sure on SQ then but that's also because installers were only learning on how to enhance their installations to not only better the sound (ie. not just loading up a door with speakers) but also better the appearance. Tonality was probably always there but I'm sure imaging and staging have come a long way.
