a good friend of mine called me up yesterday and said he had 2 Soundstream MC500's for sale and would hook me up proper. Of course i said yes and to bring them by. Back in 1989, i JUST graduated High School, my parents moved away and i didn't have but a wooden nickel to my name. I couldn't even come close to something of this caliber at that time. Anyway, when he told me he really needed the money i figured it was my duty to make him an offer he couldn't refuse and try to take both of them . I couldn't help it, as soon as i saw them i knew i had to at least try. He took my offer and they are both mine. No, i am not sure what i am going to do with them just yet. I will open them up, show the guts and run them on the dyno at some point i know that! It would be fun to do an oldschool SQ build with all vintage Soundstream amps some day. But just having them in my collection feels so nice More pics and some vids coming soon! Serial #25XX (i forgot to take a pic) and Serial #31XX (also forgot to take a pic). Ill have more updates to this post as i pull them apart and look at the guts

this showed up in my feed just a few minutes ago. Thought i would share it. I personally use my own tools to set gains so i don't know anything good or bad about RF's "CLEAN" built in gain settings. It is pretty cool to see the DD-1 Distortion Detector side by side in real time just to see how it compares. I also like how he made a few marks on the amp where the DD-1 says stop and the other one says stop. This is not a vs. as in some sort of a competition between the two. They both clearly have their place in the car audio world. One is good for setting itself, the other can set almost any other amp so it is not a battle but a comparison. See how they do!

please don't confuse "chicken" with "no time" or "don't give a fuck". LOL. I got better things to do. I don't even know what that "challenge" is since i never gave it 30 seconds of my time to find out.
