Re: Ran across these today... Old School Nostalgia trip
I actually liked the 910 more than the c90 because of the display. I have both. The c90 is the better deck just not the screen.

Wow! :shocked: That's awesome.... that is some great gear even for today. You planning on using that at all?

My only issue was that c90 display would wash out in the sun and you couldn't see squat.

It's semi-installed in my Camaro, but I've read about problems with capacitors on equipment that old, so I'm kind of afraid to power it up :(

Had some of this equipment through a couple of vehicles in what seems like eons ago. Just looking at this stuff again sent a wave of nostalgia through me that I haven't felt before. I guess it's just the memories that go along with it as well as the first real SQ I owned and tuned myself.
Sorry for the bad quality pics but tech wasn't exactly great 17 years ago.... LOL
Don't miss that couch at all just for the record :)
Anybody else have feelings like this when you look back at your old stuff?! Sheesh man must be getting old.
That is some seriously NICE gear for back in the day! I can imagine that your system was absolutely killer! :) And yeah, that couch! Classic, haha.
In one of my "throwback" installs I was using a Sony ES CDX-C90 head unit + XDP-4000X DSP, Arc Audio CXL/r amps, D.A.T. HEX 1st Gen Components, Peerless XLS8 midbass, and Infinity Beta 15X subs.
Not quite as old school as your gear, but not far behind. The system always brought a huge smile to my face every time I jammed on it, and I have to say it compared very favorably to my more modern systems. :)

Agree 100%. The CDX-C910 was my first "High-End" deck, and I loved its simplicity and aesthetics, though its screen would wash out in sunlight as well.
