[QUOTE="Greene, post: 8616983, member: 674327"] I searched E-Bay for a set and wound up at this forum, so I had to chime in as well. Ok, I am the guy that bought them from Otasco back in the 70's and installed them in my 72 Olds Cutlass Supreme (Rocket 350). I think the problem lies in trying to compare them to 21st century audio technology. That would be like comparing World Book Encyclopedia to Google. Yes you can get specific results that compare but that's it. But in the 70's there was OK audio equipment such as amps, graphic equalizers, Pioneer, Jensen, etc. which bring up the MindBlowers. Yes they were cheap and over powered- try to find a set today and you'll know why they aren't around. But before BTO Not Fragile- Rolling Down the Highway guitar rifts destroyed mine, they served a **** good purpose such as turning heads (Like today's bass), getting disturbing the peace warnings, and a good time with the Bud's which is what is trying to be done by the Yute's of today. My memory is still pretty good and the Mindblowers were good and especially loud speakers- for 6 months to a year of high power usage. Today we could fill up the whole auto with audio components but back then a set of speakers like these for cheap did the job. Since I mostly listen to Talk Radio all I need now is a good set of Kicker's. Ha [MEDIA=youtube]hgGG4-BzKYc[/MEDIA] Also check out BTO "Rock is My Life" Regards, Vinny [/QUOTE]
