[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8594844, member: 614752"] Soundstream has sold about 2 good lines of amps and a fairly decent woofer (the 4hp knockoff) since they stopped making them in the USA. They sell primarily bottom tier flea market quality stuff and you know it. Because you've got a "whole" 2 years without yours blowing up doesn't make it good. Their head units are terrible, their amps are unreliable, inefficient, and over-rated, and their component speakers sound awful and have badly set crossovers. The only guy I didn't see gain big by getting rid of soundstream replaced his XXX10,000 amps with American Bass 500.1 and is getting the same numbers. I think they're just "good" there because you don't have easy access to any better options. It's not like Soundstream gives us the Power Acoustic boards in the amps they ship to the USA and buy Zenon built boards to throw into the amps they ship to Europe. You might have different model names and unique lines but there's no such thing as a free lunch. [/QUOTE]
