Bronze Member Username: Tj80Vancouver, BC Canada Post Number: 33 Registered: Aug-05 | As long as it's the single voice coil version, it should be okay... I don't know much about Pioneer amps and their quality so I won't address that... but as long as you can make a 2 ohm load, this amp will be (according to them) putting out 600 watts which fits fine with the specs on the subs. If you have the dual voice coil versions, you'll end up with a 4 ohm or 1 ohm load, which won't work well for this amp, since it's not 1 ohm stable, and only puts out 300watts @ 4ohms. |
|
hondarider Unregistered guest | is there other 600 watt rms amps for under $300? |
|
hondarider Unregistered guest | or would this be better than the pioneer? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14473 |

Post Number: 520 Registered: Jul-05 | Er - a bunch of us myself included mentioned in somebody elses thread recently posted that SoundStream is now being made by the very same company that manufactures Power Acoustik ! How i found out was that i was about to order a SS cap online & the sales rep told me that. 2 wks after (last wk) the guys mentioned it too ,so u know its true .... What voice coil configuration does your subs have ? its very important to know that ....... |

Bronze Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 24 Registered: Sep-05 | You can find the alpine v-12 monoblocks that is 2ohm stable for a little over 200, just look on ebay... I am not a fan on ebay, alot of companies do not warranty product bought from ebay. Just do research first. |

Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 613 Registered: Sep-04 | Rovin, are you saying that ALL the newer SS are on the junk side? |
|
Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 526 Registered: Jul-05 | I have not used them (was about to buy some 6.5" comp from SS) but since alot of respected guys on this forum advises new SS are not in the same high class standard as they used to yrs ago - then i would take their good recommendations & not gamble with my $ . Thing is SS & PA are overated products ... Is this the sub u own ? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13949 or this 1 ? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13950 Either way both subs need 600wrms & i personally would choose say a 1000wrms amp which would leave plenty of overhead so your amp will run effortlessly & cool .... |

(didn't read the whole thread) soundstream is owned by power acoustik now.. they went seriously downhill since that buyout. for what its worth. not as bad as pyramid etc.. but probably in there with the low end "marginally acceptable" range like audiobahn and hifonics, etc.. about the cheapest stuff you'd want to consider spending money for. |

Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 616 Registered: Sep-04 | Man and they used to be such a good amp! |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gavbo211US Post Number: 76 Registered: Jan-05 | Dont diss that amp he posted though it was the last line of amps made when Soundstream was still good aka it was the last line of amps made by them in the U.S. before they started manufacturing overseas. ask mikechec9 he will tell u all about it.+ |

Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 618 Registered: Sep-04 | I posted awhile back on the Soundstream I have, and got NO responsed, so I looked around myself on that amp, but couldn't really find anything bad about it, and seeing I owned one in the 90's, hell I figured it should be ok. Now I see I spent $400 on a boat anchor!!! GRRRRR! |

|
Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 619 Registered: Sep-04 | Well I don't know if it will now, as I haven't gotten it yet! It will be pushing a 15" RE SX so I wanted it to sound good. I don't care really what other people think, but I take advice. |

Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 621 Registered: Sep-04 | ^^ that sounded a little harsh, I do care what people think when they have knowledge and advice to give! |
