Anyone Have a SoundStream Rubicon 501 they want to sell? Might also be known as Rubicon 500.1 , Rub501 , or SoundStream 500 watt- 1 channel.

Is it possible to just have 1 channel in a multi-channel amp that has an issue to where you can't get rid of the alternator whine? I have tried the whole amp tutorial; and changed RCA's, rerouted them, re-grounded at the head unit and amp, but for some reason 1 channel still, and only that 1...

Thanx Ramos- I don't think any guitarist in my lifetime will top SRV for infusing everything I like to hear in music into one (sound). Sorry for not being more specific. My quandry is this; Should I keep my SS amp, and continue to power everything I have on it, it is 6 channel, 65x5 + 400x1...

Was wanting everyones opinion on a solid 4 channel amp at least 100x4 RMS, or more for 4 channels in front of vehicle. I'm wanting to know the cheapest way I could go without sacrificing too much in the way of reliability. All experiences and opinions appreciated. Thanx- Cblue

I'm sorry, to be more precise; They say the max mounting depth is 2-13/16", and my speakers were supposed to be 2-3/4". And the Alpine speakers I installed are listed as a 6-3/4" speaker. At least on Crutchfield.com they are.

6.5" It has a plastic speaker holder in the door, and I'm not sure of it's diameter. Mounting depth is supposed to be 2-3/4" but I got my alpine type-R 6.5" to fit by using the included 1/4" adapter ring under the speakers. They were a 3" mounting depth.

Again, Anybody got any fav's for 12" SQ type subs under $200? 1 CuFt. sealed box, being pushed by 400 to 700 watts RMS 2ohm.

Hey Exploder, I PM'd You.

Hello, does anyone know where I might find a cover, or (end Cap) for my SoundStream D'artagnan? I was told that the Rubicon 805 cap would work as well. These are what covers up the wiring coming out of the amp. Also, if anyone knows where I could get new terminal set screws,I would appreciate...

Well, here comes the dumb*ss of the year award winner...... . I left the boxes full of the rest of my components in the trunk along with the unprotected rear facing sub-box, and proceded to take an 80 mile trip. I guess the alpine speakers weren't happy that I didn't match them up with their...

Well during the install of all my new equipment, I managed to shatter the plastic-like face of my 1 day old 12"-RF-P3. Has anyone had any luck in just glueing, fiberglassing, or taping up such holes in their laminated plastic type subs? The area damaged is about 3 inches by 3 inches, and all...

I would be interested in the details of the fiberglass pods you made in your doors. Pics are always nice too. I have been trying to tune my system the last couple of days. I am definitely impressed with the Alpine-R's. I didn't think I could fill all the space in this Monte Carlo, but it seems...

Could You elaborate on what you did to seal and deaden for these speakers? I also have a monte and the same alpine speakers, and was toying with the idea of constructing enclosures under the rear deck, and somehow creating enclosures in the door. I want tight, loud responsive sound out of...

Hey Exploder- Iam contemplating the same install with the type R's today, and I have a 2005 Monte. Did you do anything special to the doors when installing the 6.5's? and how did you seal off the 6x9's? I am hoping for a miracle with a set of components in front and a little 6x9 rear fill...

Hey Squeak, I've got a couple of questions for you. Are you fairly impressed with the MSync-8's enough that you think they are worth the price? Or do you think there are better SQ 6.5's out there within that same price range? Is there a better way to go than to my local dealer as far as price...
