xx1 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'm thinking about buying a pair of these : Soundstream Rubicon RUB1.2500 RMS Power Rating: 4 ohms: 1000 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1700 watts x 1 chan. 1 ohm: 2500 watts x 1 chan. [*]MOSFET power supply [*]Remote gain control included [*]Midnight blue finish w/ brushed accents [*]LED protection indicator will be illuminated when the amp has gone into a self preservation mode [*]Twin Stack Technology TM (strap amps together for double power) [*]Tri-Mode Capable [*]Three-Way Protection Circuitry (Thermal, Short, Impedance) [*]SMT built in cooling fan [*]Monoblock channel operation [*]Heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink for extreme heat dissipation [*]Chrome-plated RCA level inputs [*]Chrome-plated screw terminals [*]Variable low-pass filter (50-150 Hz @ 12dB) [*]Subsonic Filter (10-40 Hz @ 12dB) [*]Bass Boost: 0-18 dB @ 45 Hz [*]Damping factor: >250 [*]Signal-to-noise ratio: 105 dB [*]THD (Total harmonic distortion): 0.5% [*]Frequency response: 15-150 Hz [*]Dimensions: 22-13/16"L x 8"W x 2-3/8"H [*]1 Year Autosoundswarehouse Warranty will that be too much???the BL's got flatwound coils and cooling. I'm planning on running the amps on 1ohm one amp to each sub. I just think they are at a great price and in case I want to upgrade my subs in the future I will have amps already. ***please help. this is my first "nice" system.

Nikitaaa Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Always safer in the long run to get a bigger amp and turn it down then making a smaller work as hard as possible. You should be just fine with soundstream.

Guest Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 as long as you have a high output alt from mechman or dc or something, with a battery or two, then you should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
