How old skool is this setup? :D
Orion Cobalt 2100 amp (400w RMS, not rated at peak like the cheap junk!) and two 12" Audiobahn subs, in an Audiobahn box, before they went all chrome and crappy!
I picked this stuff up today from a guy on Craigslist. Cheap too! He said he grew out of it and wanted it out of the garage. I also got new Monster interlink cables and a new in box MTX crossover thrown in!
I tested everything, and it all works, but the amp is under rated for these subs. When I tried them with my Kenwood KAC-929s, they POUNDED! Like, really good sounding!
I took one of the grilles off so you can see what the subs look like. I do have both.
So, figured I'd share. Anyone know the age of the items?

It sure looks that way. And I could be wrong, but I think there's also a plastic protector sheet for a 5.25" floppy drive lying on the table next to them.

that HD collection is sick.. want to donate some to a worth recipient?
as for the age of the equipment, I'd say 6 to 8 years at the most, certinally not 10. good luck.

the hdd collection was the first thing i noticed when i looked at that photo too. if any of thos are realy old WDs (like 32MB or less) they may still be under the LIFETIME warantee WD used to offer. all you have to do is break it, send it in for RMA and you get a brand new one for 15% shipping. thats a new LARGER drive, they no longer make them that small, last i heard the smallest you could get is 10GB.
