heath Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Does anyone have any experience with the new Soundstream Reference Amps. The only place I have found selling these in onlinecarstereo.com. The specs, power and looks speak to sounstream steping back to the old days and seems impressive to me. Any thoughts? I am giving serious thought to buying the REF 2.370 but wanted some others opinions. I have traditionally been committed to JL audio and do not want to step down if the quality is not there. Below are the specs on this amp. Power output: 110 Watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms 185 Watts RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms 370 Watts RMs x 1 Bridged @ 4 ohms Regulated MOSFET power supply RUBI (Rapid-use branched impulse) proprietary power supply technology STACT (stabilized apex current technology) reduces power supply stress by 50% Trident amplifier power technology Auto high-current, regulates power supply load for application Triple darlington output circuitry Hawkins bass control: proprietary bass equalization Drive delay II eliminates turn-on & turn-off pops Ultra-low ESR capacitors for rapid power delivery & dynamic transient peaks Tri-mode operation Damping Factor: >1000 Signal-to-noise ratio: >110dB 180 degree phase control 30-80hz hawkins bass boost 200mV-9V input voltage 4ga. Power & 8ga direct wire terminal Dimensions: H: 2.25" x W: 9.875" x L: 14.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 the quality of sound stream is amazing i dont know anything about reference amps but the rest of there stuff is there heh.. Its not bad for being owned by the same company that owns ferhinhite, lagacy, jensen, prymid, boss, lanzar, and pyle... Honestly youd be better off going with something else like hifonics.

audiofanaticz Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Old soundstream stuff is nice.. Newer stuff I wouldnt waste my money on. Just becuase they are using the same heatsink as their old refrence amps when soundstream was soundstream doesnt mean the guts are going to be the same as the older amps, or even the quality of the build.

audiofanaticz Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I dont even know what you got for amps, and I dont really care. But you can find better brands out there before you buy some walmart grade audio gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
