Back when cheating was a good thing? Yeah, in the 90's, some organizations used 4 ohm stereo wattage to divide competition classes. How could you "cheat" the system? Get an amp rated for high current, low impedance operation. Today I'm going to discuss the Old School SPL challenge and the details. I'll also show a couple of (lame) SPL runs with a Lanzar 50c and Crossfire CFA-30HC. This is all for fun, but feel free to join in by taking some of those old school amps off the wall and joining in on the fun!

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.
This is my favorite UA-cam channel! When I see the notice i pretty much stop whatever im doing and watch.
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.
Brings me back to early 90s where I had a crunch 10 in a 5 gallon bucket off the factory deck. Not to mention I used a extension cord for speaker wire. Lol the things we had to do to get a little bit of bass in our vehicles.
Whatever works!
thats BB.... Before BAZOOKA....LOL.... nice 5 gallon bucket enclosure.... hmmmmmmmm........
I've been waiting quite a while to dust off the old mean machines! :-)
Any pictures of the mean machines
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
I wish Kicker would remake those c series comps from the 90s. What an iconic look.
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 👏
Great video! Impressive hair tricks at the end. Eye brow hair tricks, that is. :)
😜👍
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.
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
I love this stuff... great channel!
Awesome video Derick. Old schooooiil👍
Seriously loving the crossfire CFA-30HC action! x)
She’s a beast yo!
Still have my 20yo MTX 1000d and my 4 15" Coustic subs. Love that amplifier!
MTX shit never dies.
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 👌
@@wal why the discrepancy in db?
How did you hold that Chevette together? 😊😊 My brothers had one and every time someone shut a door something would fall off.
Michael Hollon
Zip screws and duct tape
I had a homeboy with a Punch 40 on 2 Punch 18s getting down around that same time...
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..
Great tips!
Until I watched the first video of yours, that I ran across , about a year ago. " I just thought I knew a lot about high end car audio equipment.!!! !!!
Hey man, love the content. I’d love to see you get ahold of an old Butler/PPI TD series tube amp, a TD-1500 maybe. I drooled over them back in the gap, but didn’t have the cash to spend on one. I’ve never even seen one, and at the time, I worked for a shop that moved a TON of the old PPI Power series amps. Speaking of the Power series, PLEASE get ahold of a PC-2350 (later PC21400), and were juggernaut class A/B power hungry amps. I had four of these on four 15’s back in ‘99, walled in a ‘94 mustang (horrible idea) 😬. Good times. Thanks again Big D. 🤘🏽
Truly old school A+!
Those old-school Crossfire amps work really good
I need to pull my old US Amps out of storage... thanks for reviving my interest .
Yeah boi!
Last year I gave my friend's father my US AMP...I think it was a US AMP 75...A great cheater amp.
@@missayawk Your a hell of a nice guy.
@@breakerbroke23 It was collecting dust..Yes I am
Miss those days of the chatter amps. I used to compete in the pro 101-250 class in outlaw spl usca back in 98-00. Just started getting back in to spl again after being out of the game for 20yrs.
I had a test one time in maui way back with 2 jls with PPI amp in a 96 ranger. I think the year 97 or even 96. 143 spl. I slapped it all together, I beat the guy I bought the stuff from. Lol. Truth. My PPI speakers I bought later still going the 8 omh 12's, I forget the name. Letting my younger sister use. The one with no dust cap and not flat. Neighbors is says can you not play your bass so loud. Toooo funny. Thanks for all your videos. Great job.
funny.... HOWZIT from the BI.... Haaaaaawaiian....... BDBD/2021
Love ya D, always make me laugh.
👌😜👍
My buddy Jerry Diaz had 6 Fultron 15s (walled), back in the day, with two champagne Autotek 44s (these things would run at at .25), and was hitting like 146 back in the early 90s.
I sure miss the old school runs. I went across Texas collecting trophies with my 2 15 orion XTR Pros running with Orion HCCA 275, then went to Mmats amps but they did push like the 275 did
Too bad u couldn't get to colorado to go up against my walled van
That would been epic I bet !!
@@mrmeiii yea I would love that. Love the challenges, and to see there face when I'm done. Thinking about getting back into it
Great video Big Dwiz!!! 👍👍👍 I love those ROCKFORD FOSGATE PUNCH DSM old school amps that you have shown in this video!!! I myself have a little PUNCH 40i and a PUNCH 60i DSM amps that are still in very good condition!!! Many people have offered to buy them from me but I'm just not ready to let them go!!! I have them since the mid 90's!!!
I keep wondering if there will be a Car Stereo Museum.... where I can DONATE my old gear... like ART....
@@bigdogbrodavepresents6178 I don't think it would be a good idea to donate your old school gear after all the money and time you have invested in it!!! If anything it would be a good idea to try and get some of your money back!!! 💰💰💰 I personally don't believe in donating something I really worked hard to get, not unless it's for a real good cause and someone needs it more than I do!!! Otherwise I will try hard to sell it depending on how bad I may need the money!!! That's just me!!!
@@josea.garcia3994 yeah... money, like gear... You cant take it with you. I have been dragging around old gear for several decades now LOL.... I am buying a Kia Sorento Sport Wagon that I intend to do the OLD SCHOOL NEW SCHOOL thingy... Oldest decent CD [layer with a 1/4 inch jack and from there OLD STUFF.... I have 2 10 inch MTX Thunder 6000 woofers, a Eminence 15... s pair of 6x9 Pioneers from 1996... and the AUDIOMOBILE stuff... It will operate again... decades in a BOX..... IT LIVES..... THEN I will donate it... Give it to someone worthy. Might be my last install..... BDBD/2021
Wow it sounds like your getting out of the CAR AUDIO game with what your doing is that correct,or you just have to much stuff laying around that you just don't care for anymore??? I personally have some old school ROCKFORD FOSGATE AMPS that I'm thinking of selling for some reasonable prices, but by all means I will not sell them for a very cheap price to the point where I would be giving them away!!! That's because I know what I have and some people will always try to low ball you with very low offers!!! I have a PUNCH 40i, PUNCH 60i DSM models, PUNCH POWER 50x2 and 50M matching pair in mint condition, along with the matching pair of the 1999 POWER PUNCH 500a2 and a 200a4 amp series that are still brand new in their boxes!!! Haven't had any good offer's yet but I will try to get what I want for them!!!
@@josea.garcia3994 yeah... theres a good aftermarket out there these days for the RF stuff. Always liked that you could smell them amps frying..... but let em cool down and they OK... hehehehehe. I am 62, started installing age 14.... I worked for free for most of the late 70's kinda just learning and doing favors for my friends and such. Later I found work, 1981... I worked for the shops all of 6 years or so then went ROGUE. Became independent and worked for all the shops here in Hawaii as well as installing used gear for the most part because at that point.... Gear became more RELIABLE. Thus people would want their entire system pulled and PUT... add a new alarm while yer at it. These days I look at my old gear and theres ONE... AUDIOMOBILE. When I was a KID THAT was the benchmark. I worked on so many exotic cars that had them systems installed in Cali... later the car would end up here in HAWAII.... Lots of happy people here in Hawaii.... and eventually them cars would show up needing a fuse change. Usually. There was small fuses.... PICO FUSES I remember them being called... inside them amps. They usually popped cause of over driving etc... never really BLEW one myself. I still own my AUDIOMOBILE SQ system... all these years.. was made in 1981.... LOL.... I have other gear.... and yes I cant take it with me and what price for...... PRICELESS.... thus the Donation mentality... A Car Audio Museum.... one day my RACK will end up there for viewing and safe keeping. Do what makes ya happiest I say.... BE SAFE my friend... BDBD/2021
Awesome challenge !
Join in on the fun 👌
@@wal I will for sure !!
Makes me wish I still had my walled Astro!
Still got my alpine mrvf-1000...thunderpros need a recone and I'd love to play
Reminds me of a popular build when I was in high school. 2 jl w0s and a punch 40
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!
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.
Audio controll is what we used to use in Whitley auto sound compitions
Going to break out my Soundstream 10.0 for this!!
Got the like and the save ..all day OSS .
Just installed 2 15 inch RockfordFosgate Punch Power Dvc d4s on a 1500 watt RF amp. In a single cab !!
wished i still had my blazer. I had 4 orion XTR DVC 12's on two Orion 225 amps. It hit 162.5 on the meter back in 1990. never entered it in a contest.
Back in 08 I had a 03 Monte Carlo SS with 2 Orion HCCA “When Directed Audio Owned Them” I believe they were Dual 4s on a HCCA 5000.1D had a optimas red top in the trunk 0 gauge power & ground wire. 2 gauge speaker wire, a custom Hi amp hi out put alternator and a kenwood KVT - 512 I believe it’s been 11 years lol no one ever believed me that it was a single amp on 2 12s I use to hurt people’s feelings people would have 4 L7 15s, have a crowd of people around them listen. I’d pull up stop get Plies - Shawty Remix where the bass hit and turn that bass knob everyone in the parkin lot would turn around 😂😂😂😂😂
You sure have a way of making me feel old, my current set up are ppi's from 02 but I never think of them that way. They have always worked and worked well so I have just moved them to the next vehicle over the years. Plus if they stopped working I would just use other left over amps that I have laying around.
Reliability killed the industry.... Car electronics died a LOT..... THEN it seemed.... Everything got fixed, addressed, and then RELIABLE car audio. I still have good working amps from the 90's... My current Kenwood system is from 2005?... 16 years.... They might outlast me at this point. LOL.... OLD GEAR... BDBD/2021
I remember a time when ya might see a customer two or three times in a YEAR.... Cassettes... 8 tracks.... TAPES got eaten a lot... Stuff just died... Jensen amps...LOL.... just died... like every 6 months. LOL..... Reliability.... Kinda miss the old days BUT, THESE DAYS... its so good these days for the consumer. 2000 watt amp for 100 bucks.... man... Have a HUNDRED DOLLAR challenge.... all used gear. NO LIMITS except 100 bucks spent. LOL. BDBD/2021
Big D can I borrow that Proton D275 from 198??? LOL. Thanks for putting this together for us old farts.
In the year 2001, i was 12, in 6th grade, running three 6 inch tube woofers, a 250 watt amp, an 80 amp on the door speakers, all Roadgear crap, in a 2 seater 1986 Ram 50. That was my way up the driveway to the school bus (long country driveway lol)
love every vid
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sweet 👍 I'll try
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.
Dope brother...
I got an old Kicker ZX460 4 channel bridgeable amp. It needs repair but is a really great amp. Even today. Got an old 15" Kicker Comp I bought in 94 still to. It still works pretty good but needs rebuilding as I haven't taken the best care of it. It's really dirty and dusty even down in the motor. Works great though nothing has ever failed on it.
👌😬
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
Hey man, if i can ask, why did you change from Old School Radio .com to Willinston Audio?
When will we get the full video for the md8000. I'm thinking of buying the 1800 from your test . Would you recommend it big d? Much respect from Barbados!
Hey Big D could you do a dyno test on the kicker pxa 300.4 and why does it get hot so fast as many buyers have claimed
Wish I had my audio art 100hc still. That running two idq v2 12's is still one of my favorite setups ever. Best overall spl, sq, & killer lows.
There were lots of Audio Art imported in Philippines . 1996 saw the first Iasca sanctioned event.
@@angsieverz4938 They are great cheater amps. 50x4 rated but made like 550x2
.5ohm 1100x1 1ohm bridged. A lot for ab amp very good sq & efficiency too. With was amazing in my 83 z28 running the idq 12's.
I miss my 80s Sanyo amps!!!!
You talking PA6100? I have several. Darlington power pack stk-0049 chips. If, you smoked one, cost ya 15 dollars for a new one. I bought these new in '81.
Those old school Orion amps were serious!! HCCA!! I remember my best friend big brother had 2 Fosgate 12s in a camaro with a punch 150 cheater amp it was rowdy
The HAT !
I want the spectrum analyzer HAT !
I would definitely use any one of those amplifiers you have on your wall brother.
😬👍
Would my JL Audio slash 500/1v2 amp or my JL Audio Slash 500.1 be in the 500watt old school challenge
Whats the cheapest meter allowed? I kinda want in on this since i have some old school amps hanging in my garage.
Do you remember if you tested the ac voltage on the speaker outputs , just curious to see the difference from the 2250 to the 1400 , I had all of mine gains set to the same output within a few tenths of a volt , when they where all working properly, which was rare ,all 16 were doing 82 volts on 1 hcca coil , I would like to hear anything you remember 👍🏻
I have a 16 year old Sony xplode 1600 max pushing 2 12's in my dually. Still working fine
There ya go
Time to get some true numbers from these old amps and subs!!
Yeah boi 🤙
Hollywood sound labs was the shit back in the day
I had a couple 12's back then
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.
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
Audio control is what we used to use as a dB meter when I used to compete
Yes they were used a lot, but the pressure sensor models have been proven as more accurate and reliable than the mic measurement models for SPL
My oldschool amps all over 500 watts.. one is the Rockford 800a2 90s
I still use a old school mtx thunder 2160 still sounds as good as the day I bought it brand new had it in a 1993 probe gt powering two kicker c15 now it’s in a 2001 z28 Camaro powering a JBL audio 12w3d2 that I put a new surround recommended by big d wiz
So, just follow the 1996 USACi rule book for the power classes. ..lol
Lol, should definitely keep everything old school including subs, so people can dust off their old USACI test cd, & bringing back to live their Brahma, Jackhammer, L7, Stroker, etc.
fisherTW And show them plexi and acrylic boxes off too!
Where can I get one of those oh dropper things that I can use in my car I want to drop my dual 4s to .5 I have 2 skar evls on an audiopipe apcl1800.1D
That’s dope
How's the yinlong's treating you ?Love that frickiN hat .
I bought more to beef up my bench. Waiting on Toolmaker to finish my new setup. Gonna be dope!

If only I knew somebody with a legit SPL meter!
Word
I just love the idea of systems under 1500w total. No need to upgrade any electrical lol
Hey man. Could you please do a Dyno test on a JBL gx1200 12 inch. I got a set. Im wondering if I got ripped off or not. Be very appreciated if you did a video
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
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
@@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😊
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 👍🏻
Have you ever done any dynos on the vii series hifonics ? Thor ?
Wire it all in parallel to allow for box rise
Gonna do dat fo sho!
I have an old hvx3000d made by hollywood in 2004 that I can use plus some old soundstream Tarantula 15's I can put in a box. I am thinking 2 15's with 3000 watts I can pull close to 150 spl db.
Bass miner 😂😂
My MA-2075 isn't going to do much ...but may have to pull it out.
great hat
😝👍
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?
Just a thought..... what if you place those in a Tline enclosure?
I love this!
But you should have a hatch/trunk and a wall class. It would be more linear. And what about other old school amps classes? 501-1000? Say I want to run a Hifonics Colossus with 2 8”s? Or a Rockford Power 1000 on 2-12”s?
Or even 2-400 watt old school amps on a pair of subs?
Or better yet a Rockwood amp(😂😂😂) that “says” 1000 watts? 🤪
Would a zapco 9.0 be ok to use in this contest??
In the 90s did they burp or was it all SPL with different wattage car classes. Im 47 now and cant remember when i was 16....i didnt compete because i never finished the build to show quality..i ran all kicker speakers (two 18s two 8s two 6.5 two5.25 four d20 tweeters and two3.5) in a cut out s10 pickup on autotek7204 (150w)for mids and highs and a hifonic zues(600w) on subs crossed over with a alphasonik 2/3-way electronic crossover..walled what class would i have been in in 1990
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.
Will do that!
Who do you recommend to repair car audio amplifiers. Like the Memphis belle
repair (at) freemanscarstereo dot com
I never hear you ever mentioned ‘nail driver’ in any of your old school amps
Hello my friend, how are you? I really need your opinion about the oldschool zapco Z50S2 amplifier, I see that it has only 2x25w, I would like to plug it into a two way 60w kit each, would it have clear strength and quality? Thank you friend.
always ran a QUALITY amp system on my Mids and Highs.... ZAPCO is a good QUALITY amp.... for the most part. I would run/BLOW UP many an amp on the woofers.... What ya got... lets see what it will do... hehehehehehe....... Wheres that Fire Extinguisher..... LOL... You should be good running them 2 way speakers safely using that amp bud.... HAPPY LISTENING. BDBD/2021
The first wall pic is Al Lee's Dakota. ......
My bro was hitting 146 bitd on the old mics with a pair of JL W0-15s on an old Legacy amp
Back in the day a 150 watt rms per channel 2 channel amp and a pair of fosgate 12's hit as hard as stuff with twice the power now days. Heck we had a targa hexfet amp pushing two Pyle driver 12's back in high school in an old cutlass and it slammed. One of the hardest hitting systems at our high school was four 10 inch pioneer IMPP subs. My friend had four Orion XTR 12's powered by an Orion 2150 and it slammed hard. Dont get me started on a punch 60 and 2 punch 12's. Love the ood school stuff way more than this new stuff.
@Tekboy 808 definitely true,
I should just try this....I got a few 120a2 Rockford's I could play with😈
I used to have a Now n Later amplifier back in the day. And it turned heads. People was more shocked by the name, but it was a power house. Has anybody ever heard of it? Called Now & Later... Not sure about the spelling but i cant even find a picture of one
I have a Sweet Poison A5000+. Do you know anything about it.
I just bought a 15 inch kicker l7 in a ported box. I’m on a tight budget and need a new amp for it, I currently have a jl jx500/1 amp but u don’t have a video on this one. Help plz
That’s a good budget amp
You should do prs340 amp, I run my rockfordp2 subs off it. It bounces them.
Can you do a MTX 225HO next time if possible?
hmmm.....now where did I put those little red amps?
