Car audio is affordable.when did that happen ?

Back in the 1980s I saved up for months to buy an Alphasonik 75watts x 2 amplifier , girlfriend at the time said I could’ve bought a washer and dryer for less .. Long story short I’m back into it .. bought some amplifiers including a Smart 3K Bass .. only have room for one subwoofer in the pick up .. I guess some of us never grow up

So
Taramps smart bass 3 + analog kid = Blown up $1000 subwoofer
Amazing woofer , sounded great , I had all the bass in the world but power rating should be 800 W max not 3000
Going back to the old reliable BLACK widow ( i’ll change the crossover from 50 to 80)
Until I find a more high-powered woofer set up

Good chance nobody cares about this - but there might be some useful information for anybody getting back into this nonsense - so i’m going to post it anyway - solved my bass situation with a couple 10 inch American Bass Hawk -1ohm load , 24-60 hz powered by Taramps smart bass 3k

Also the taramps and the better pioneer amps and of course Rockford Fosgate are extremely efficient .. i’ve been running three amplifiers on stock electrical without much problem , But Tuscon alternator had a sale I was able to pick up 370 amp alternator for $429 ($200 off)
- 196 Amps at idle -
I have a SX power D6500 coming in the mail this week .
A fool and his money .. do whatever the hell they want

... what ?

Stupid gets stupider - It’s easy and you can stick with the traditional electrical - go to Tucson alternator and get a 370 amp alternator and buy one of them X-S batteries And get a belt that is a half inch shorter than stock - you can power a 4000 W system - Just be sure to use zero gauge for your bass amp - Anyway I replaced 10” American bass with Sundown - cannot say anything bad about American bass - but now I’m at 30 hertz instead of 40

Makes my head hertz. Found this in a box under some cans years ago with some radio manuals. Maybe you could explain this to me- Ziphippie

Looks like a mic pre-amp for a transmitter and/or could be used as a karaoke machine :)

Uses tubes and dates to maybe 1940s to 1970s. Equivalent to a three transistor circuit.

Nice hand drawing, a work of art!
