How about Concord tape decks, Audio Stamp, Speaker Works Buick GSX and where the first " sound off" was?

I don't remember the first "official sound-off" (or maybe I do ;), but I do remember competitions as far back as 1982. I also remember Linear, Concord and Speaker Works ...met Mark Fukuta at a Sony Zone show in Detroit more than 10 years ago. How about Munsie 8-tracks, Panasonic's cockpits, Audiomobile, Bozak woofers, Sony's Shuttle, Monolithic amplifiers, Clarion's 300EQB...?

A great thread to date our selves. I cant really come up with any great stuff, just remember the a/d/s power plates and ppi art series as still being cool. Some of the names ring a bell, but nothing terribly outstanding.

While you might remember comeptitions that far back, I was just being born!

I never owned any of the plates, but I had a ph15 with the 642csi x-over for my first setup. Great amps, just weren't too efficient.

God 12 Volt, you might be as old as I am! The first Factory sponsered sound off was at the fair grounds in Bakersfield Ca.in , your right 1982. Ahhh I remember it well, girls in white bikinis, plenty of beer and telling the contestents that if they didn't put on their AC we would deduct points ( it was 101 degrees out there ) Craig powerplay, Jensen coaxials, Pioneer KP 500....... Kudos to Paul at Translex in Bakersfield ( God rest his soul ) a real visionary in this business.

Wasn't that the company responsible for an amp that came with a high output alternator for about $25k?
