white4d96 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 just shopping around looking at speaker amps for a buddy and ran across a soundstorm 4-channel for about $50. Are these reliable amps? I think i've seen soundstorms running subs a lot on this forum, i thought i would check if they are good on speakers as well... They will be powering either 5.25 or 6.5's, undecided, and my old sony x9's. Said buddy is looking to get away from this as cheaply as possible, doesn't need to be fancy (it would be going in a 73 'Stang with full exhaust and such so he probably won't be using it much). Any advice/past experiences? EDIT to note that the 'front' speakers will be mounted where PO put some craptacular 6" Ford speakers, in the 'door panel' (side panel?) by the back seats, pointing forward. They will not be in factory location (which is ONE 3.5" in the dash.) Too many projects, too little time...
Beanz Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 i say dont get it most people here run maybe sundown audio or soundstream but never soundstorm,wont give the speakers good power anyways. That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
white4d96 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 That's probably what I saw. Any recommendations for cheap 4-channels? Too many projects, too little time...

Beanz Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 how much is your buddy willing to spend? That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

Beanz Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 i found some good amps that will do like 50-80 watts to each speaker like alpine and hifonics pus soundstream that range for 150-180 the fosgate one cost about 190 That's why they don't deliver.

white4d96 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Posted April 15, 2009 I recommended <50W rms for him. The Sony pair he already has are rated at 65 rms and hes looking at about the same rms for the 'fronts' Too many projects, too little time...
