gckless Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 What do you guys think about this Soundstream for a budget 5 channel? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_79512_Soundstream-TA5.1250.html Pretty much exactly the power I'm looking for, board don't look too bad. Any other recommendations? 75W or more at 4 ohms for the speakers, 500W or more at any load for the sub, around $200-250. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

philrab Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 In for the answer. My kid sister may be in the market for a budget system. Be nice to power the whole thing off one affordable amp if this thing is decent. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount. Build Thread 1996 Mazda Miata: Kenwood Excelon HU, Alpine speaker in the doors, Clearwater (miata specific) headrest speakers. 1994 Mazda Protege: Kenwood Excelon HU, Infinity Reference 2 ways all around, 2x RF Punch 10's in ported boxes.
SIDE SHOW Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Looks pretty good for the price..... i'd prob suggest a big 4 channel amp over a 5channel, bridge one side of the 4 channel to a sub and the other two channels for your front speakers. rear speakers off the headunit pwr. if she then wants to upgrade or wants more bass later on, you can just go out and buy a monoblock amp. plan for the future lol
dolarbilz Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 I had the image dynamics i5800 sweet 5 channel installed in my dads boat.little pricey But power bass new 1100.5as3 5 channel looks identical to the ID amp n your price range..
gckless Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Posted September 3, 2014 Anyone else? Also seen the Massive Audio NX5 looked pretty decent. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

But this is for someone else. Smaller install in a friend's car. That's why I'm sticking to a budget amp. $50 more at $300- http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZAPCO-ST-5X-AMP-5-CHANNEL-720W-RMS-COMPONENT-SPEAKERS-SUBWOOFER-AMPLIFIER-NEW-/121167727486?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item1c3628cb7e&vxp=mtr Unfortunately the power I'd like isn't there. And I don't need that level of quality. Thanks for the heads up though. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.
