so dude lol was this last yr at the pub?Got to love the sub placement.
I wish I had pictures of mine. I never take pictures of possesions so much. I have owned 30 different cars in life and wish I had pics of more. I think I have a couple of my Japanese RX7, My Toyota Truck and perhaps a couple more but wish I had pics of others for various reasons. Sorry.
 
Unfortunately no pictures, I agree with Jon sometimes you kick yourself for not taking pics of important stuff during your life.
My first audio setup consisted of
1 Pioneer home amp
1 Sansui amp
2 Pioneer direct drive turntables
1 Technics equalizer
1 Marantz tape deck
1 Technics tape deck
1 Radio Shack mixer (The one everyone had :D:D:D)
2 Pioneer 15" 4 way speakers
2 JVC Dually 12" speakers

For lights I used 2 strobes and 2 Police beacons.
And spot lights with different color exterior bulbs that ran off a home made chaser.

The 80's bring back a lot of memories :D:D:D
 
I actually had two Technics radio ttables basically 1200's but they had woodgrain edges and were more like a home setup but many radio stations used them in the 70's-80's/ I had a Pyramid mixer with effects 12 band eq etc and I ran a Pioneer 900 cd player with cue wheel. Amped the system with a Marantz 250 Watt home reciever. Boomed the room with home system Cerwin Vega PD 9's used em at a couple gigs. Then I got out of the military sold the receiver, tables and the PD 9's. I then bought a DJs setup and added a pair of 9 inch PEaveys on sticks along with a pair of plastic imitation 1200 like pitched Technics, bought that same radio shack mixer everyone had and a Crown CD player along with a technics cassette player. Also had some traffic light like boxes with different coloredpatio bulbs with breaker switching adapters for each socket to make them randomly blink. Did many high class Southern Cali gigs with this setup and a Decca 9 Peavey Digital amp.
 
You guys are suchy youngsters....


This isn';t my first set up, but it was close.... if you want details afetr you are done laughing, let me know

Well this was a gig with about 200 people at a fancy country club. Only made about $1500 on the gig, but thats OK, right?
