Those Soundstream amps need a ton of current to make decent power. I say you'd be better off staying with the 8 powerbase amps for now. If you could run 4 of the SS6500's I'd say go for that, but you're gonna need tons of batteries. Maybe even do 16 volts to help those amps out.

well i'd do 2 big amps over 8 smalls one anyday as long as the 2 big amps does more in RMS. definitely get your electrical up to par and blast away homie.
