Dual SoundStream TA1.3000d on a Fi SP4 18"?

Looking for some power for my Fi SP4 18", I live in Australia where car audio is way more expensive.

I've bought stuff from CACO before but shipping for an amp to here is about $150 at least.

The best value amps I've found are on eBay are a pair of SoundStream TA1.3000d's

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/191224319323?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

A pair of them shipped here is $781.83 USD (About $830 AUD) Plus I get 2 year warranty. (I would have to ship it back to US though)

I planned to strap a pair of them together. I've got the dual 2 SP4 which I think is actually around 1.3 Ohm so

each amp sees around 0.35 Ohm. I've got pretty awesome electrical for them. A pair of Fullriver 120aH AGM's in the rear and another large Fullriver in the front. 0 Gauge positive and negative front to back and a 240 Amp alternator.

I realize this is more than enough power for the SP4 but I won't be running the amps at full power so they won't be overly stressed.

I also have a scope to set gains.

This setup with the pair of SS is about the value for power I can get here so should I even be considering for about the same price getting a used SCAR/Crescendo/DC Audio 3.5k that also won't have warranty.

Your gunna need to wire to 1.3 ohms each amp. I would imagine at .35 the amps will go straight into protect.

The amps are able to run at 0.5 Ohm so I would imagine 0.35 wouldn't be too much of a stretch, It would be a little upsetting though if my new amps didn't work and I had to send them back or something.

Get a single SoundQubed Q3500-1. Even if shipping is $150, its about the same price as those two Soundstreams. Call or email them, maybe they'll work with you.

Not a bad idea I do like the sound of that. I wonder how much a DC 3.5 goes for these days I prefer them but only because I like the brand better.

This

New dc 3.5k are around $1000

You can check on sonicelectronix.com (they recently added dc audio) or droppinhzcaraudio.com

Not this

IMHO

also, what you can do down low impedance wise, DOESNT mean he, she, we, them can.

well, since your post was not quoted.... look at it how you want.

What you run your gear at, with what, and where, doesnt mean every one can, banking on rise, .... isnt a exact science .....
