Was visiting friends today when they pulled out an old set of Pioneer 6X9 coaxials - TS-6905 models. They have a treated cloth underslung surround (red!), and the tweet was separated from the woof by a light red foam - never seen anything like it. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] And they were still in good shape, no rips or tears. Probably 20-25yrs old.

So I went home and dug in the shed and pulled out my old (gotta be 25yrs) Pioneer TS 694 6X9 coaxes. Again an underslung cloth treated surround (yellow!); tweet post mounted, 10wrms, 25wmax. Still in good shape!

Gonna have to find time to hook these up and see how they sound. I remember my 694's kicked ass in my '72 Vega coupe [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Anybody else stumble upon some real old stuff??

I always buy older stuff (mid-90s mostly) in good condition because it's cheap as hell ...

Hmm, I had Pioneer TS-A6905 speakers and they had cloth surrounds but not red, and they were 3-way speakers...and probably from the early 90's

I love my old skool equipment, I had a Kicker Solo-C 12", Pioneer GM-H200 (8-10 years old at least and hit 143.3dB), had an Alpine 3526 4-ch amp, Coustic CD-3 cd player (1990, and it's still kickin!), and an old (I think '95) Orion Cobalt 10"
Not as old as the speakers you mentioned but still cool [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I have Pioneer dual cone 6.5s from the early 80s.

And I have the infamous pioneer 4 way 6x9s with sruare ribbon tweeters. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I love old pioneer gear.

Also have an 80x1 pioneer amp from 94. [img]smile.gif[/img]

When I bought my Kenwood amp the seller threw in two older Pioneer amps he had laying around to close the deal ($50 ). [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Gave me a GX-324 which I sold for $50 and an old GM-H50 which I have never hooked up. I took it apart and it's a tank inside! Looks OK but I'll likely just let it sit in the garage. Cool oldschool amp.

I had a GM-H300 or something like that ... Thing must've weighed at least 20 lbs. ...

From Tweek:
"Hmm, I had Pioneer TS-A6905 speakers and they had cloth surrounds but not red, and they were 3-way speakers...and probably from the early 90's"

I took the model# from the grille. The back of the magnet only had some numbers printed. They were sure the grilles were for those speakers, so I went with it. I could be wrong though. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Anybody recognize the red cloth surround, and red painted steel basket? Very old, not 90's for sure. More like 70's.

Gene.

Hmmm... never heard of that.. they did make a GM-h50, 100, 120 and 200... but never a 300... was it a 2 channel or 4 channel?

Would you possibly sell the GM H50?

I collect old car audio equipment as a hobby.
