CaptainzPlanetz Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Pretty good, but the whole XXXline of amps are rated at 16volts.......Havent heard much on the Picasso amps, but if wanted awesome SQ, there oldschool Human Reign amps where awesome Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

UnderLoK Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) yea..my dad said they were good back in the day( he started over 25+ years ago and stopped in 2000) but he doesnt know how good they are now(just like most companies now) They are ok... I have a 4.500 STL, don't get it, overheats like crazy. I know two guys with DTowers and they love them. Stay away from the XXX series if your newer to car audio, they basically have no warranty because in their words "XXX Series do not have flaws so if it breaks it's all on you". Soundstream had a really REALLY bad stretch for awhile, but they cleaned things up a year or two ago I guess. Outside of that I'm butt hurt when it comes to SS so that is about all I have to say. I was in the same boat as your dad. Did car audio from 91-99 (still run JL W6's and MMATS in my old Caddy from the late 90's). Coming from his time I would say just stay away from PPI and Orion. If you want hassle free don't buy the gear online find a local shop that does massive volume because if something breaks you can return it if you're cool. From back then the only amps I would still buy that I used back then are MMATS. Like I said I have 2 that have been beating since 97 or 98.

TechSys Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well... Soundstream is great, honestly. I run the xxx-4000d on 12volt and it does what it's rated for. Good and solid. The D tower amps are awesome and at a great price. They put out the rated power or a little higher. The Picasso series is great. Hell, all the lines are very good. Of course I may be a little biased since I am also sponsored by them, but you asked.

TeamHT Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 The xxx amp I clamped didn't do rated at 12....or 14 volts. I don't hate them, but I don't like them. And will definitely take my money elsewhere Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmescan Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I have the stl 500.4 and yes it gets warm but it does the job well and the shop I deal with replaced the amp for me 2 months ago because I fried it so I stand by it because of the shop owner and what I paid for it but to each his own Quote SONY XAV-701HDRF power 400.4 RF power 1000bd 3 Sundown x8's d22004 f150 single cab2 sets of components MB quart 6.5 onx (2 tweets 2 6.5 perdoor)stock batt up fronBIG 3http://www.stevemead...-vid-pg-11-922/http://www.youtube.c.../TheBigmescan74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjay Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Griz has redesigned a lot in the line...he's done a great job with it, especially redesigning the reference line of amps that made them so famous back in the day. very well done. Good equipment, and great support from griz and brandon. The rest of Epsilon is meh, but Soundstream is quality stuff Quote Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
