Speedball Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 And I used to think people were greedy hogs when they parked between two posts and used one in each of the passenger and driver side at the same time. COOL picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhoak Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 UMMM... I think I might have sort of seen bits and pieces of quite a few movies that I never heard. [:$][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjd Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I saw one of those in this banned super bowl commercial.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Oh yeah! I think I drove around with one of those hanging on my window! Hmmm... actually I think that the car belonged to my girlfriends' dad. Definitely not made by Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not made by Klipsch. A pair of them rested in the back deck of my 65 Dodge Dart driven by a Spark-O-Matic 8-track deck unitl I could save up the $$ to buy a pair of Jensen 6X9 coaxials. Yea... Definately NOT made by Klipsch. They sounded like @$$ but at least I had tunes. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 OK, I see 8 Track mentioned but who here had a 4 track. My parents were p.o.'d when I 'installed' that thing in our 63 Impala. Wayne Newton and Pearly Shells rings a bell. I was in the 6th or 7th grade then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoak Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I never owned one but I recall my earliest bench work at 15 or 16 as being servicing old 4-track players. I can't place the brand name though. Muntz or something like that maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We have a nice drive-in near here, that uses an FM transmitter, so you just tune your radio to a certain freq. If your car audio is good, it's great. I had a nice Panasonic 8 track tha I put in my VW Squareback. I hooked up a pair of some off brand bookshelf speakers and had them in the back.

Mighty Favog Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yup, driven away with a couple of those. Sometimes on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 OK, I see 8 Track mentioned but who here had a 4 track. My parents were p.o.'d when I 'installed' that thing in our 63 Impala. Wayne Newton and Pearly Shells rings a bell. I was in the 6th or 7th grade then. Yuck. Even then I was too "audiophool" for those. I had a 45rpm record changer under the dash. Smoked those things sonically BIG TIME... Actually, I still have it. It's in decent shape and probably restorable. It would be killer in a fully restored Chevy SS convertable or similar. I suppose I should slap in on Ebay or something. Dave PS - I should point out for those who weren't there that the 4 track players were the "BetaMax" of car audio in that they were physically much superior to 8 track and sonically WAY superior. As with BetaMax, however, Jill and Johnny Highschool voted for the longer playing time of 8 track. The 4 track mechanical mechanism, however, survived all the way to the digital dawn as the prefered tool in radio stations for playing commercials.

Thaddeus Smith Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 There's a drive in up here close to Dallas that has both FM transmitters and all refurbished/working car window speakers. It's a pretty good time and they show double features - cheap tickets, and they of course bend you over with concession prices. http://www.galaxydriveintheatre.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
