MY first stereo was all MEI gear in my chevette.

I'm still peicing my current stereo together.

 

my first was the stock tapedeck in my 1990 pontiac transsport minivan hooked up to a 100watt Alpine amp that has its power spliced in through the rear cigarette lighter and 2 used Orion Cobalt 12s in a sealed box that was shaped so it would fit behind the last row of seats in the van. Then when I got enough money I got a deck which was a clarion drx7575Z (which I still use lol) and then added 3 10" EPX high mass series woofers also in sealed boxes to my 2 12" cobalts and ran them off a Rockford 360a2 amp. Then I sold all that stuff and bought my first set of shockers...shocker2 12a's and put them in a ported box off a non-modded MMATS D300HC. That got the SPL bug in my system so I got a pair of shocker2 15b's and ran them but I liked the 12s better so I got some shocker2 12b's and went to my first competition (Audiothunder 2001) where I came third. Shocker had a trade in offer at the time so then I traded them in for a pair of shocker extreme 12s that I used for the rest of the season although I did get them reconed to differant spiders and coils a few times and switched the amp up to an earthquake D2 and that system got me up to a 155.0 on the old termlab meter. then it escalated from there lol

 

JVC Deck, A 400WATT Legacy Amp, and two 10 inch Pioneers in a bandpass box. LOL! It was ghetto. But, it was way better than nothing!

 

Ahhh, the nostalgia.

crappy 3 year old clarion cd player hooked up to 2 alpine 5x7 and 2 home theater speakers in the back, also hooked up to a 8" home theater passive sub.....dang that sucked.

o ya, I also had a passive 8" jensen sub in a "bass tube", bass was "ok" but SQ sucked big time.
