jrot Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm getting one of these sound stream 500.1 class D mono block amps to power my sundown sa8, i was just curious if anyone has ever used one or been around one ect, I'm sure they are good but I'm just excited for what i have to look forward to.

Supercharged DCs Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 So you purchased one before asking for input on it? Are you talking about the Rubicon 500.1? I've heard mixed reviews about it.

jrot Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm sorry guys i should have been more clear, no i haven't bought it yet but I'm pretty well sold on it, I'm getting the reference 500.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 How much are you paying for one? I just looked it up and I see them going for $250+, which is a total ripoff for 500w.

jrot Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 is it? i thought it was pretty good, but I'm a noob, i like the reference 405s i have now so i figured the matching mono would be pretty nice too, what would you recommend instead?

Skullz Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Nice amp and think that the new reference line is supposed to be pretty good again, you could get the 4.920 reference and bridge 2 channels and run a sub and have the other channels to run your comps with. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_20680_Soundstream_REF4920.aspx Edited July 25, 2011 by Skullz Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrot Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 well skulls i would but I've already got the reference 405s for my other speakers and its sub channel will run some of those jl mid drivers in the future, i also considered the reference 1.1000 and adding a second sa8 but i don't think my fronts could hang with that and i don't have room for coax big enough to hang with that either, what do you think.

Skullz Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 What ohm are the coils by chance? Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $250 or so, you can find a good 1k+ amplifier man. How much exactly are you looking to pay for the Soundstream? Hell, for $340 you can get a Crecendo BC2000, which is rated 2250@1ohm on 13.8v IIRC. Quote Bassless once again.
