Yeah, seems like a lot of things went down hill since the 90's haydays. I don't remember the bridging modules (did it bridge two amps together?), but I remember those gigantic red Orion HCAA 2100 amps! I always wanted some XTR subs.
Firebird, nice! 2 12's and 2 10's on that amp must have pounded. Must have been a TIGHT fit - did you do two in the deep back part, and another two on top of folded down rear seats?
Speaking of firebirds, my buddy had an 89 firebird with two 12" Rockford Punch Power Series in ported box we built tuned to 35Hz running on his Punch 200, it pounded good. That box was a bitch to build, so many angles to use up as much space as possible in that deep back part of the hatch. He ended up moving on to a '96 240sx, got a 2nd Punch 200, and eight 8" JL W6's (the original W6's - ordered for cheap from an ad in the back of a Popular Mechanics magazine, lol). At stop lights, the car would die from current draw from those two Punch 200's unless he kept his foot on the gas to keep the engine reved, haha! He always had more funds than me back then, so I slummed it with my 15's and gradually added bigger and better amps.
Check out these old school beauties I've held on to - Rockford Power 500a2, Kicker ZR 120, Rockford Punch 40i, and my old Rockford Audiophile 6.5" component set. I've ran all those amps at various points balls-out at 1 ohm (bridged into my two 4ohm 15's in parallel
) and they all held strong.
