Amp Test Tuesday - Classic Soundstream Class A 5.0 (chrome) (results Video pg. 4)

Ok it is Monday night, again, but it is 10pm here, and is Tuesday SOMEWHERE

I will upload the results tomorrow.

for now, lets see some guesses.

I tested it @ 12v (rated) in these modes.

8ohm bridged - Rated 25x1

4ohm bridged - Rated 100x1

2ohm bridged - Rated 200x1

1ohm bridged - Rated 500x1

1/2 ohm bridged (1/4 ohm!) - Rated 500x1


I also tested it @ 14v

1 ohm bridged -

1/2 ohm bridged -


the amp comes with a 40 amp maxi fuse.

now there is 3 modes for each test (certified @ 1 % distortion, clipping, and dynamic RMS). This time, guess the MOST power in each catagory i was able to squeeze out of it and add them all up. Only ONE number per ohm load. It says 25x1 in 8 ohms bridged, pencil down the MOST i got (not all three modes combined, just MOST). Then do each impedance the same till the end and add them up. This is a small amp so i am going to raise the margin of error to 20 watts. Anyone who gets within 20 watts of the number i have in my hand, will get an SMD VM-1 or OM-1 (your choice) when it is released. The VM-1 is already out, OM-1 in a few weeks.

Remember, one maximum number for 8, one for 4, one for 2, one for 1, one for 1/2....PLUS the 14v numbers too. Then add them up. But i ONLY tested in the impedance shown above.

your total number will be MUCH bigger then 500w, because they are all added up. If i had you guys guess the highest actual number, i would have 20 people answering the same answer, so i gotta mix it up and have some fun with it

have at it, good luck!

by the way, 1/2 ohm bridged = 1/4 ohm.....is CRAZY...and the amp is rated to do it. So i guess i had to do it. Most amps, i would NOT.
