[wagon5.1 10+ year member]

I know everyone here is sick of these threads but i searched my bleedin brains out now i need help!

which one would be best?

soundstream ref880.5 70x4 +280x1 underrated I have heard but is it?

directed d2205 80x4 +280x1 have not heard if under or over rated

which one would be better for the money? i can get both for under $600

depending on where from. want to stay in 301 - 600 class

both would be but the directed is right at 600 watts the soundstream is weaker rated wise anyway. speak up and tell me which one and why

Thanks All

I'm sure both will do rated power and there isn't enough difference in power to matter. Look at power and speaker connection locations along with crossover locations and pick the one that will work best in your install.

neither, get desertheats Aura 5 chan from the classifieds... he's a great seller and that old school Aura stuff rocks... also IIRC he's only looking for 200... and it's NOS

hmm I was thinking of the 2ohm specs as 4ohms so it might be a little less power than you want

Not as powerful but an awesome SQ amp is Arc Audio's 5150XXK. I have one in each of my vehicles.

How about The Big Five/DLS Ultimate A7. If you are in Eau Claire, there's a dealer fairly close to you who I bought my A5 from. Nice guy, good service, great deal!!

Check ebay for a Memphis Belle.

Memphis is also on the list but is more money to get! looking to stay under $600for non refurb hopefully new! some of the ones mentioned are pricey Im leaning toward the soundstream since the install would be easier but the directed has more rated power and will also fit where i want it but with more work. I think it will come to who has one when i need it and how much money, either way I can't go wrong!

Thanks all
