Dang this brings back memories. I used to work at A&G customs and that was Al's Vette with the gold plated amps. There was also a shot of the old Kicker van with 9 18's and 9 Linear power 5002's that we had for a while. We'd cruise up and down Hollywood Blvd on Friday nights advertising for the shop, I got to drive the Kicker van which was so fun. I miss the old days.
It was the best of times in the 90’s…The elders of the generation had Elvis that they loved and had conversations the same way…Cruising in the Mini Truck slammed with deep dish rims and the Snugtop lid open…Wouldn’t trade those memories for anything…..
@@themaddrummer8341You can put the fire department in danger, and then it’s serious, because emergency sirens are a necessity, I don’t want an accident to occur where somebody crashes into an emergency vehicle!.
This is not good, because this is a danger to emergency workers, and yes the fire department is being disturbed, since the sirens are not able to heard when there are emergencies!.
Thank gosh Boom Cars are finally getting the representation they deserve. There's been so few old skool videos about it around on here and its good to see it. Even if you're into what's going on now, its important to know where your culture comes from.
@@hazeltonsounddotcom yeah I don't think a system will really cause damage to your hearing unless you're giving a constant full db bass tone as you drive around everyday.
I had 2000 watts on 4 kicker 10s behind the seat of my standard cab Chevy pickup in 98. That thing slapped. 42 years old now and I have 4000 watts to 1 10 and it beats hard. I love pulling up next to the younger kids and still showing them what's up in my lifted truck. 😂 I also install and help any kid in the neighborhood that asks. Gotta keep it alive and hope they pay it forward too!
I fell in love with bass in I first heard it in 1992. I was 14 visiting my dad, awakened in amazement to the sounds of the boom coming from the neighbor’s car early in the morning playing Baby Got Back wondering “what the f*** is that sound?!” and was hooked ever since. And still a bass head today at 45.
I remember it clearly too! But freshman year in high school. Guessing 1987. Walking from the bus I swore the ground was shaking from a low rider pickup. I told myself, I want that!
@@shawnthomas7404 You care enough to respond so yea, you care, if you didn't you would have kept that yelper closed and moved along with your own business, son.
@@shawnthomas7404Going to have to agree with you. Only one person cares about his 10KW and that him. Starved for attention. 10KW of sub par entry level peak power.
Bought my first amp in 83 for my 82 Z28, a Sanyo 100w. And to this Day... I'M STILL BUMP'N‼️I really miss my 84 Cutlass that had 4 Cerwin Vega 12's being pushed by a Pyramid Gold and later by Autotek 1200's in 97. Those were the Days.
Is all coming back all over again 🤔 time to bass out. I'm big Rocker Fosgate stereo system need more than 2000watts plus is good for me I miss 1990- 1999 high school and my kid's was born. Great times
I had Four Kenwood 18s, Four 12 inch Cerwin Vegas, Four MTX 10s and Four M&M 8s. Running off a bank of 4 Rockford Fosgate Punch 150's. Not a lot of power, but it did the trick. Lot of fun times back in the day. We weren't trying to hurt anybody, we were just cruising and profiling! LOL I had a buddy with a 1,000 Watt swap meet special that really did have a lot of power and blew quite a few speakers. I loved cruising the Vegas strip every weekend. You saw all kinds of cars and trucks that were rolling artwork! We were in clubs and did a lot of charity events and it was a great time! I liked the punchy bass a lot better than the doomey bass, so I could dial in whichever set I wanted at the time. I also wanted good sound clarity too at a decent volume because at some point you want to hear the rest of the music notes. ;)
That's BS about hearing loss because out of all the bass I listened to 25 years ago, I can still hear perfectly fine.It's the high frequency that kills your ears. Im 57 years old now.
That's my generation x .got a g37 coupe and yes it has a system . I learn how to install modified and look great. Just a hobbiest at a professional level.
I remember this when it come out. There was several of these demonizing car audio. This is what started the downfall in popularity of it all. These shows come about and then laws were passed and tickets were written. I got several tickets one local town was so bad if you could hear any radio outside the car you were getting a ticket. so lot of people got tickets for a factory radio. passing these laws actually put a lot of places out of business. Cops were writing tickets and kids stopped cruising. restaurants closed, gas stations etc all along the route we all cruised on. It was always so packed at nights and it was a ghost town afterwards. But if you had glass packs on your truck or car and the exhaust was blowing ear drums out that was ok.
I've been a car audio fanatic since I started driving in 1992 and I can tell you why. Because it's fun. Everyone needs a hobby and it's one of mine due to my love of music and the high-quality reproduction of it. Next, all the dorks in this video don't know anything about girls or how to meet 'em. Anyone trying to be "cool" has some things to learn. BTW, I don't blast my stereo at red lights or act like a d-bag because I believe in mutual respect for my fellow human.
lot of interesting things in this video...old people complaining, who got the cars, who's dancing to the music from the cars, who looks like they have the money, who doesn't.
In 1990 a Punch 45 $250 for around 200 watts. Today you can buy 2500 watts for the same price. In a way that shows how that great hobby has lost some of its character & creativity. I miss those days. Car audio , sadly has been replaced with ear buds and iPhones by this current generation of young adults.
I watched this when it first aired. Then, went out and promptly bought my first car audio system. Oh to be 18 again...

The fking envy!!!!💪🏽 ... I never slapped that hard in the late 90s
90s car audio...!!!
Back in the day the old people didn’t get us with stereos nowadays the young people don’t get us. I’m 43 and still love bumping
One of my favorite RUclips comments! We were 9yrs old when this came out. I had two 15-in MTX subs in my car before I got my license.

It all started in the 80z n not the 90z.

Been into car audio since High School in 89 freshman yr, saw so many cars booming coming into school!~
Peak civilization right here... we grew up so good. Prove me wrong. I miss the 80's and 90's...
My cousin got me into bass back in the late 80s, so when I started driving, I started bassing 😁
I’m 51 and still enjoy this great hobby. The late 80’s, early 90’s was the peak of car stereo.

This brings back so many memories been bassen since 1988. Used to be $1.00 per watt back then
33 years ago it was 1990. 33 years before 1990 was 1957. 😮

Whoever had that power 1000 it's worth some money
The 90s and early 2K was imo the peak of Car Audio
i agree with you
Facts 💯
Facts!
I’ve had no less than four 12’s in my cars since 1993. Now I have over 20k watts and ripping panels apart. Subbing never gets old

Yes, I’m 51. Lost my left ear from a surgery, not my audio. Yay mono sounds wonderful :/
The lady with the red afro is a legend
Love that this was produced by Ethel Bass

Jeez this is awesome, too think 600 watts was a lot back then too
6:29 oh man, Danny McBride hasn't aged one but 😂😅
5:02 the true 1st generation Karen
See, the old lady said they blasted the "Rock Music," not rap. 😂
They park, they try to pick up girls
Anything that can't be played on their 78 rpm record player is rock music.
Im 19 got into car audio at 17 lol
It’s changed a bit since this!!
Hope you enjoyed this bass history lesson.
I had a s-10 lowrider with 8 mtx terminator 15’s in the bed with 2 kenwood 1020 powering the subs with 8 6 1/2 mids
I remember when this aired on TV
They were all listening to my posses on Broadway

I programmed my parents VCR to catch this episode 😂
