Who remembers boosters and equalisers .... couldn’t afford the ones with the flashing lights ..although I could turn on my hazard lights .... you were pretty important looking when you turn these on ...
......damn, I thought that they were still “normal” equipment ! Gotta get out more......... Cheers, Mark
I saved up Tony and had the Pioneer KP-4000B Cassette Stereo dash mounted and the equaliser that I mounted under the glove box area. The flashing lights were mandatory to be in tune with Meatloaf, ELO, Fleetwood Mac and Aussie Crawl!
That’s the one ... and to the tune of ride like the wind .... always made it feel like you were going fast .
Decent head unit and decent speakers, equalisers and stuff should no longer be required. Early years in my Escort panel van I had all sorts or amps and equalisers. Even at home now, we have Sonos syrstem with no bass or treble control, much less equaliser. Sam has a Retrosound head unit and four speakers. Satisfies me and the young daughter. Unless you want to sit at the lights competing in the doof doof contest, don't bother.
Defeat is Equaliser-speak for off..... Can't just say on/off if you have that much tech. Cheers, Mark
I had an alpine equaliser, always trying to adjust to reduce tape hiss. CDs were the beginning of the end for these I think?
The cassette tape chewer. Also remember the ribbons of tape, from failed cassettes strewn along the roadsides.........
I've got boxes of old tape decks and radios. The plan is to one day get them freshened up to put in my cars. By then there probably won't be any radio stations left though!
@KahunaKombi Wonder if it had something to do with their emergency number being 111 I heard ours was 000 as it is the longest to dial so less accident dials??
Ah yes mine had a high pitch squeal when it was about to happen - then that’s when the pencil in the glove box came handy .
