[QUOTE="Djltoronto, post: 7130900, member: 628222"] Long Long ago, I had a Soundstream Ref. Class A 6.0 amp and it rocked my world... years went by and I blindly bought another Soundstream amp without any research what-so-ever, it was a PIC.1700D (fused at 150 amps, class D must be good!).. First one plain and simply didin't work - failed to turn on. Second one, extremely low output - tried everything to get this amp to... amplify, but it was just weak. No matter what I did it was simply very very low powered. I was able to remove 4 of the 5 - 30 amp fuses, and short circuit the speaker outputs, and it wouldn't even blow the single fuse. Third one, seemed to work well for the first hour or 2, and I was quite happy with the power, then it just went berserk and got into some feedback loop and would just play a loud, low tone that could not be stopped. Even when the remote wire was disconnected, it just kept pumping out a very loud low frequency note... I had to start pulling fuses till it popped 3 x 30 amps..(on the side of the road, in traffic) Finally, the 4th one... I didn't even open the box when I got it, since they refused allowing me to return it, I took the 4th NEW amp and placed it directly on eBay and sold it at a significant loss... (all 4 amps were new, 1st one purchased from a local store, and all others were direct exchanges with the Canadian importer of Soundstream). I seriously regret ever selling the Ref. Class A 6.0 - cause that amp was awesome... Buying the Picasso series after that was the dumbest thing I ever did! Worst experience ever! Good luck with your issues.
