[QUOTE="zako, post: 7890650, member: 629735"] My understanding is that PPI Phantom, Polk D class, NVX D Class, and Soundstream Tarantula share board or board designs. However, the internal components may not be the same. At PasMag they tested Polk and PPI 4-channels. While their RMS output was similar, Polk's THD shot up to 0.5% at like 80watts. It's not clear if this is because of variability in production or the internal components are different. The Soundstream TN and PPI Phantom are supposed to be the same amp according to PPI Phatom and Black Ice discussion on DIYMA. These are good budget amps IMO. I would have preferred Alpine MRX series, but at the price of $200+/-30 nothing beats these. Onlinecarsteo has the Soundstream TN4.900D on sale for $200 right now. [/QUOTE]
