i remeber when pyles where the shit, back then they had the biggest magnet until the rockford pros came out

 

Yeah, back then, no one really cared about anything but how big the magnet was. For amps, everything was based on how much it weighed. I can remember a couple brands that actually put lead bars inside to make them heavier.

Remember the big ass Pyle Bass by nines? For the rest of you, they had a 6x9 that had such a huge magnet, it barely fit through the mounting hole.

How old are you, 16?

 

YEA, AND EVERYONE WITH A BUICK REGAL WANTED THEN IN THE REAR DECK!!! LOL
DIDNT SOMEONE AT THE FLEE MARKET START WHORING PYLE? AND LIKE EVERY OTHER INSTALL HAD A PILE OF PYLE?

 

I remember that. I think that was just as pyle was going out. Funny part (now, anyway) was that there was a guy in the Oldsmar Flea Market who had 'pyle knockoffs'. Looked just like the real deal, but lacked the PYLE logo on the dustcap. These were a step up from his normal pyramid...you know, the one's with the clear cones, so you could see how off center the voice coil was.

Then he got a truckload, or seven, of real pyle. You could barely get within 20 feet of his booth, there was such a mob. Hell, he had 12", 40 oz magnet subs with paper cones and foam surrounds, good for about 150 watts max for only like $75 each!!
