Bump4life Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Dont go getting all emotional now. Answer the question. What do you have to compare it to? I have installed DD amps, Rockford amp, aq/sq amps, and more. I have seen DD amps in action plenty of times. Don't get me wrong they are great amps for sure. But not for me. They are (imo) power hungry and expensive. I don't care for them. My soundstream amps have done everything I have expected them to do and more. Like I said I have put them through hell and have never had an issue. They are fairly efficient, affordable, and you can wire them to pretty much anything and they will still play. So ya I have worked with and installed many other types of amps. not power hungry at all. i think they appear power hungry to you because they are making serious power. and you are gunna have drop with serious power. they are actually very efficient. expensive well ill give you that.

It's now worth arguing about. I know you don't see them as great amps but at least your not calling them shit like Nate. 2007 Ford Focus SES Hatchback Pioneer HU 4 Digital Designs 9515i's in a B pillar. 2 Soundstream XXX 15K's (running at 16 volts) Soundstream Mids/Highs in custom door panels (getting rebuilt soon) Soundstream TA2.160 and TA2.400 Sky High and KNU wiring 3 Banks of Maxwell caps Winston Lithium (not a fan) Bump4Life 250 Amp Alt. aka USAlternators Soundstream Focus and Avenger Build Log Instagram @p4linnovation YouTube: Team Blowin Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO you really have my interest. on your b2 stuff. lol B2 isn't magic. Their reference tweeter sucked. Their Quattro has a bug in its HPF for the mid when you try to run active. But there are plenty of things they do right and are one of the only amps I'd even dare compare to dd. I think their actually very very similar amps, one is just rated for usaci, one is not. What I'd like to see is the newest DD audiophile component set vs my reference set. Might make for an interesting vs test.

Swordlordboy1234 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 But even on that not I vote sealing off, a second m4, and port plugs till you get the port area and tuning that you desire. Then rebuild to that exact spec. Or just fiberglass the port plugs in.
