Old School SPL Challenge? Dust off those Old Amps and Join the Fun

I competed back in 91 to 92 in the 100 watt class , best spl I hit was a 147 . Which we thought was impressive back in the day . Best time of my life . Little blue pioneer cavalier.

[@brianfernandes2382]

I love seeing new life being breathed into some old classic amps. Sadly I have sold most of my collection now due to moving and nothing the space or time to do anything with it. Having been a dealer for many years, I am a huge Rockford Fosgate fan.

[@ImConstantlyConfused]

I still use my Fosgate Punch 150 amp that I bought 20 years ago. It's been swapped into several cars over the years but it sounds great and is pretty small for it's age.

That was my first amp

Back in 1999 I ran a punch 40 to my Mids and a punch 60 to 4 10” pioneer impp I was in the 51-100 watt class I was hitting low 140s in a chevette

The pressure sensor is 6-8dB quieter than the AC, B&K and LinearX Mics from back in the day according to Wayne Harris. Still impressive for 100 watts total 👌

I PURCHASED tons of car audio equipment from 1986- 1993 . It was /is all top of the line brands . Over 3/4 of it has never been taken out of their original packaging. Except for a very few exceptions , the brands I'm going to list are. 1. ALPINE Amplifiers 2 Harmon Kardon component system speakers with built in passive crossovers. The rest of the mid to high frequency speakers were Polk Audio. ALPINE PRO SERIES 12"-10" SUBS. AUDIO CONTROL MADE UP ALL OF MY PRE AMPED ACTIVE CROSSOVERS. ALPINE CD head pieces. About 2 months ago, I had a few full weekend my time on my hands So I unwrapped a few apps a set of Polk oval speakers, and a pair of HK full mid range speakers . And of course one of my pre amped active Audio Control . Matching my HK s with an ALPINE 3528 and last. But ANYTHING but least, 0ne of my previously used ALPINE 3545 AMPS , With a Audio Control Epicenter , pushing a pair of my previously used 10" Alpine pro subs. The only thing I cheated on, was that I installed more modern era Capacitors. on the 3545. Final result. In all honesty , that system installed in a restomod 72 VW beattle. One more thing. I put all of my old unused as well as used ,audio equipment ,in a climate and light controlled garage. In my opinion, It sounded just as great as it did back in the late 80s ,as well as most audio equipment you can buy brand new right now, in 2019

That’s awesome 👏

Back in my 1984 Accord hatch back I drove in HS in 96 I had 4 IMPP 12 inch Pioneers powered by a Phoenix Gold M100 2 Clarion blue cone 6 1/2 Clarion coaxial speakers ran off a Phoenix Gold M25 with a Pioneer Premier CD player. LOVED that system.

[@bigdogbrodavepresents6178]

them PIONEER ROCK speaker cones huh?... Hard like rock.... Yeah back in the daze ya used either decent HOME woofers or ALTEC LANSING..... JBL.... Cerwin Vega.... there were others. Them home box speaker add ons was what really got me going in Autosound. Once I dropped a couple Jensen Home speakers in back my 64 Barracuda... what a DIFFERENCE.... REAL SPEAKERS in BOXES in my car.... Loudly in 1976...LOL.... BDBD/2021

[@emersonmayeaux2482]

My first sound system was Eclipse single din radio with the 12 disc CD changer in the trunk. Pioneer EQ with built in crossover. Hifonics Odin 150 watt amp on (2) Savard Hi-Q 10's in a custom ported box. On the Highs a Zapco 150 4 channel. All mids and highs were Infinity Kappa resting in custom door panels front and back. Custom back dash with 4 Infinity 6x9's all the way across. Everything tucked away out of sight as to not attract attention in a 1985 Chevy Monte Caro S.S. . System was not just loud but one of the cleanest I have ever owned. All were top of the line components back in the day. Had the custom a-piller tweeters that would melt your face off when you wound it up. Lol. I have been into car audio for over 40 years. God I miss those days. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RealCapricousCavy]

Gotta rear-face the subs, and ideally have a piece of MDF close to them for it to face and reflect back off. Facing "up", facing "sideways", facing "down", facing "front", or sticking the sub in the middle and facing in one of those orientations, usually results in less spl at the ears. And having the subs on the FLOOR always helps. It gives the bass a surface to reflect off. Same deal with home subs. Hang them on a wall midway between floor and ceiling, and bass will be unremarkable. Put them on the floor, it'll be more pronounced. Face them towards a wall or even a corner, to mimic the old school way of placing a box so it reflects back, and it'll thunder. A lot of these goofy set ups you see online would be louder IF they were positioning the subs correctly and unfortunately teach the wrong things to newer people that just overpower the subs anyways and still come in short. Having inverted subs with the baskets exposed for example, mixed in will not get louder, etc., and yet people waste efficiency by doing that. Having subs facing each other cancels out bass, etc. etc..

[@wal]

Great tips!

Try flipping your box around where the port is facing backwards. Move the box closer to the B pillar. Also you may want to Set a small sheet of wood against the back of the back seat for the port to deflect off of.

Would be fun! I'd need a box and meter though. One of my original chrome RF Punch 250.2 is currently in my truck on 2 underseat downfiring rfp-1210 dvc subs. The other is still in the original box. Would be fun to move the subs to a proper enclosure and open this thing up for a run. But at the 500 class would be better on some more cones probably.

[@lagginswag]

Picked up a sony xm-502z (from 2003) at a thrift store about 6 years ago for i think it was 6$ lol. The right speaker terminals got crossed/ arced and theres no output, and the transistor or mosfet that it burnt costs more than what i paid originally so i tossed it in a box somewhere. It does do around 150-200 watts at 2 ohm bridged, i know cuz i blew some cheap set of 10s on them years back. Still hung onto it, just in case i wanted to repurpose it for maybe a home sub setup or something, if i had a meter and some old woofers around i'd maybe get in on this. Good luck Big D!

Hey man can you do an amplifier from audio dynamics(1200.1 or 1500.6) and highlight if the apec feature makes a difference. It's an interesting concept never seen in car audio before would be some good content

[@wal]

They have removed that feature from the newer amps. I’ve talked to the owner about testing them, just hasn’t worked out yet

[@95Sn95]

I always knew the whole peak wattage thing was a marketing scam (and how many yuk yuks brag them, I got sick of explaining it just let em think they have 1,000,000 watts for $49.95) but I thought most RMS ratings were prob a smidge close this channel is a total mind blower... There isn't any consumer fraud thing out there.... It's obscene.

[@bigdogbrodavepresents6178]

its why it helped to make friends with them INSTALLER types.... They would steer ya in the right direction... usually... That SALESMAN there.... he will sell ya a million watts for 49.95...LOL.... yeah. That installer guy.... he just BLEW UP that million watt amp.... last Sunday during beer...... BEER SUNDAY.... wonder what I can BLOW UP today... LOL.... Fond memories of a time.... BDBD/2021

Would a zapco 9.0 be ok to use in this contest??

[@LunchmoneyH]

I brought the ignite r1600/1d and for some reason only sound I get is when the rca is in the bridged input. And only from 1 cable not both... what In the hell is wrong? RCA's bad? Amp bad?

[@darrennaicker1913]

Yo big D...I know it’s allot of work but please do a setup for each category...Rookie is my favorite and bass boxing...bass boxing was cool

[@mosessalazar7818]

Would my JL Audio slash 500/1v2 amp or my JL Audio Slash 500.1 be in the 500watt old school challenge

[@ooo1242]

My dad has two old school solarbaric 10’s sitting in the garage 8 ohm subs and can’t find a good amp to push them he wants a old school one

[@harvey5159]

Big D, I've got an old 5 channel. The whole amp was rated at 400 watts. The mono sub channel was rated at 100 watts. Which class would I be in.

[@wal]

As long as you are only using the sub channel for subs then 100 watt class

[@charliefrancis6438]

Hi i still waiting to see the new leader board?

[@bubbawubba2307]

Got a question how come you did not wire down to .25 ohm load with the lanzar amp. Impedance rise would have it around 1 ohm.

[@wal]

Will do that!

[@033Fritz]

Love ya D, always make me laugh.

[@wal]

👌😜👍

[@sppb32]

You have to tune the box much higher than that for max SPL

[@wal]

Absolutely...my runs were just to get a baseline and try out the 37 Ford for bassin’ 👈😝

[@blazer81gs100]

What about alpine 1750 1500 watt 2 channel

[@walterkeely1499]

Omg I wish I still had my spl car! 88 Subaru wagon with four Orion hcca gen 1 15's running off four Orion concept 97-3's!!! Used to do 163's with four "rated" watts lol

[@charliefrancis6438]

I know how you feel , I had Orion hcca gen 1 15s , 8 in a 40 cubic foot box made with 2 layers of 1 inch mdf, 4 layers on the baffle wall, I had 1 XTR 2250 on each voice coil , with a 16 volt battery system, hit 165 sealed at the windshield, and did a 171.8 in outlaw , nice to see a fellow Orion basshead

[@walterkeely1499]

@@charliefrancis6438 nice! I redid the car with the same four subs but used an xtr1400 per coil. My best score was 171.4 sealed on the dash. Good enough for second at iasca finals in 2001😊

[@charliefrancis6438]

Walter Keely that’s awesome, I recently built a 4 15 , old hcca system with my son in his suburban, tuned the 20 cubic foot box to 35hz , it’s sits about 8 inches behind the c-pillar and the best on the windshield spl we got was 153 at 43hz with a new Orion hcca 8000.1 d2,powering it , it sounded like it was in the high 150s but the pressure senors now days I wonder what we would have done now 👍🏻
