In the 1980s no matter how crappy your first car was you got this and some 6x9s and it shook windows. I miss Radio Shack!

Later than the 80s but a Boss Sound anodised purple mosfet amp screwed to the back of the rear seats in the boot.
Hell ya it did. Kind of surprised I never completely fried the electric system in the old Nova. Damn I wish I still had that car.
RIP Radio Shack. As a teenager and electronics tinkerer, RS was one of my favorite stores. I think back in those days it was the only store you could buy a 6n6 replacement tube to fix the roadside trash haul. Fixing TVs, stereos, and amplifiers was a fun hobby and a nice little side gig too! Now you chuck it and get a new one, repairs costing more than the replacement.
I was thinking about Radio shack the other day. I miss that store, too!
For a friend, I made a sealed box to fit in the trunk area of a dodge on hatchback to hold a 400W amp and 18" subwoofer. It literally knocked the wind out of you.
As a dude in his 20's, and a music producer at that... hoo boy would that have been a good solution for upgrading a car's stereo system.
🤣 yes… in the 90s too
