Hello and thank you ...... I did look on ebay, that's where I came up with ~$240 for AC vs ~$78 for the SS. The crossover is not an issue for me as I will be using the x-over on the amplifier. I found the chip x-over on the AC unit a bit tiresome b/c it came with a standard 80 or 90 Hz x-over...

OK thanx, I'm pretty much old school and just getting into this game again so I'm not up to speed on industry standards ........ As I recall, back in the late 80's / early 90's pretty much everything was rated at 12V

Hello, Is there a major difference between the Audiocontrol and the Soundstream besides the AC being almost 3 times the price of the SS? I generally believe that you get what you pay for and I currently have the AC for my car. I love the functionality and the ability to set the sound for...

Hello, not sure about the specs on the amp ......... But if you have a dual voicecoil 2 ohm sub (each voice coil is 2 ohms), then yes, it is right: Connect the positive terminal of one coil to the negative terminal of the other coil. Then connect the free terminals to the speaker terminal on...

Why is Soundstream rating their amps at 14.4V and not 12V? I know that most vehicles run above 12V, sometimes even up to 13V+. Also, some of the old school amps have a 12V and a 13.8V rating but I have never seen a vehicle with stock electricals run at 14.4V? So what is the deal with this and...

Hi All, Thanx once again for the input. I recon I'm gonna run it at a two ohm bridged load and hear what that sounds like. As an experiment, I'll also run 1 amp per sub at a 1ohm bridged load and compare the performance / sound. But I will have to beef up the electricals big time before...

OK guys, thanx for the super feedback. I've always known these amps were impressive but until now, I just didn't realise how impressive they actually are:cool:. I guess I'm gonna stick with these and not look for the Soundstream Ref Class A 10.0 Anyway, in terms of sorting out the...

Probably not the bassiest (is that an acceptable word?) of bass tracts but I just love playing Riana - Shut up and drive. It's noisey, has lots of energy and great transients so you need a great system to appreciate it. As for the bass, it really comes in between 2:10 2:25 ........... like 15...

I know, that's why I want to run the amp at maximum power. Is it possible to do this with a bridged 2 ohm load on this amp?

Hello, I have a pair of 1995 Gen2 Orion 225HCCA Competition Amps which are rated (I believe) at: 2 x 25 watts rms @ 4 ohms 2 x 50 watts rms @ 2 ohms 2 x 100 watts rms @ 1 ohms 2 x 200 watts rms @ 0.5 ohms 1 x 400 watt rms @ 1 ohm bridged 800 watts peak power output at 12V I want to...
