My personal (Oldschool) "Holy Grail" amp - the Soundstream MC500 (1989). I just scored 2 of them!

a good friend of mine called me up yesterday and said he had 2 Soundstream MC500's for sale and would hook me up proper.  Of course i said yes and to bring them by.  Back in 1989, i JUST graduated High School, my parents moved away and i didn't have but a wooden nickel to my name.  I couldn't even come close to something of this caliber at that time. Anyway, when he told me he really needed the money i figured it was my duty to make him an offer he couldn't refuse and try to take both of them :ehh: .  I couldn't help it, as soon as i saw them i knew i had to at least try.  He took my offer and they are both mine.  No, i am not sure what i am going to do with them just yet.  I will open them up, show the guts and run them on the dyno at some point i know that!  It would be fun to do an oldschool SQ build with all vintage Soundstream amps some day.  But just having them in my collection feels so nice :D  More pics and some vids coming soon!

 

Serial #25XX (i forgot to take a pic) and Serial #31XX (also forgot to take a pic).  Ill have more updates to this post as i pull them apart and look at the guts :D

way cool

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

Sweet amps yo! It's really difficult to tell by the pics, but the heatsink fins are HUGE!

I put my MC500 on the Dyno last year:
