moetpoppin Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I was wondering if anyone had used or seen or heard anything about the Soundstream VIR-8300 It looks bad ass, but I have had bad experiences with my soundstream deck products. I had a 5.3 inch touch screen deck from them and the GUI was crap, mostly blue screens and shit. This GUI looks better and more like other ones but it does not seem like its the best. But.... it has an 8.3 inch flip out screen which looks totally bad ass. It seems to have some decent add on features and whoa.... a free 50w x4 ch amp included? Let me know your thoughts. I thought soundstream was crap until I got on this forum and saw they had decent subs and amps. Sure not the best, but still damn good. I always figured they were a china brand.

donellk Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 My friend has one and we have sold a couple @ the shop they seem to work better then everyother ss head unit personally im not a fan of any ss head units or eqs but i havent seen one go back for warranty there not that bad on the wallet either well @ least not at dedicated! But i would still pick a 7" clarion flip out over any soundstream flip out! No lie though i love soundstream subs and amps! Only amp we have ever had to send back was a xxx6500 but all other amps have never failed us! They get a little hot but nothing a koooling fan cant fix!

Farmacist Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have this HU and I totally fell iin love with it, can play pretty much anything on any media. theres different GUI's so you can use the one you like the most. and I am a VERY anal person, and don't except crap. I shelled out 750 bucks for a Ecliose AVN-6620.. and at almost half the price this stomps all over it with the amount of features, customization, and connectivity. sad part is I HATE flipouts! but this is an exception cuz its so damn cool In the past SS headunits were shit, but in the last year they released all new models with MUCH better specs, so you need to dismiss your past experiences with them.

baaudio Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 the only thing i dont like about soundstream hu's is the interface. its cheap-looking. but for the price its a decent deal. but i personally think the only thing it has over for example a kenwood kvt-516 is the 8.3" screen and the price. ive installed a couple of these already. ss seems to be going for the "biggest" screen they can. they have 8" screens all over their line-up. but they need to focus on making it more appealing to the user imo.

lockdown801 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Soundstream has come a long way. They were amazing when they were in Folsom but had went to shit and I totally dumped all of their products but now I am a fan again. They have done a great job bringing the line back especially in these times. Give them a shot and you shouldn't be disapointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
