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

Hey whats up everyone I was wondering if anyone in the community ran the Soundstream rub2500.1d? I have searched through google and searched through the community and search feature but couldn't find much for my amp. Anyway the reason I was asking is I would like to hear how other have their gains set on this particular amp. I have a JVC KD-A315 head unit and it has 5V preouts. I got the gain set on the .1-2V setting with the gain about 1/3 of the way up. Guessing around 1.6-1.7V. The amp also has 2-8V setting for the gains but when I switch it to the 2-8V setting I really dont get much bass at all with the gains at max or min. It runs a little warm but I think my electrical is part of the problem. At idle it will dip pretty bad. I will install a new radiator this weekend and once I get that done I am getting 20ft of 1/0 and running a 2nd battery up front. That should help the voltage a tad bit. Anyway I would really like to hear how some people have their gains set on this amp or if you have any suggestions I am all ears to anything you have to say. Amp: Bass Boost: OFF LPF: right around 60-70hz Subsonic: 25hz Gain: .1-2V (also has 2-8V setting) Gain knob on amp: about 1/3 the way up *also on an amp rack to get it off the floor/carpet and got spacers under the feet to lift it up off the amp rack a little bit to get air flow under neath* Head Unit: Bass: 0 Mid: +2 Treb: +3 Sub Woofer Level: 6/6 Thank you for any opinions or help, -James

Sadly i lost a lot of m pictures with my old computer. but heres what i got. Know that i did all this while my only form of income was cutting lawns and doing other chores for people in my neighborhood. my budget was very tight and it took a long time to get to where it is now. Robot Underground 18" (First Backseat install) MTX81000D on the 18 Fosgate P3's (First wall) MTX81000D Costom Built LSD's on the same wall the P3's used Time For a new wall Frame for support. (More bracing was added after this pic but i lost the picture with all of it done) And the whole setup to be thrown in the car (at the time) SSL EV5000D Pics of the build are missing but here was the end result. 9.5 CuFt at 29hz and covered then i decided i needed a bigger port (Notice my outer dust caps had already blown off. I wanted more power so i got a 2nd SSL EV5000D Blew one of the LSD's. Time to upgrade! Soundstream XXX time baby! (LSD 15 on left) These ones were reconed by my friend Patrick at Robot Underground (He don't post much on the site. Call him and he'll help you out!) i'd say its an improvement Gotta have the port looking good now its time for an amp rack and covered Mids need some pods to get louder And heres the current product and remember (before making rude comment about me being cheap about anything) i did this while make less than $1k a month. just wanted to show that you don't need to make a lot of money or have sponsors to buid a great system i hope you like it. I'm Lucas Sidor, and this is my 92 Honda Prelude
