New Soundstream Reference Amps

[Ksan 10+ year member]

Friend i am not trying to sound ugly or anything but if your not reading the PA&S Mag review in detail, then how can you be arguing what they have said. I will take the time to post the quote for you I guess.

Quote..........."Oddly, it’s rated at 380 watts bridged into

4 ohms, but that doesn't coincide with the 2 ohm stereo rating, so

I considered it a misprint."

RATING 380 Watts times 2....sound stream rated this.

REAL RATING 247 time 2 at 12.4 volts

REAL RATING 324 times 2 at 14.4 volts

I hope you are able to find this quote I have listed.

Any way we all have our own opinion and you seem to like them, thats great, IMO if that is the best they have put out in 10 year, i am sitting here wondering how they are still in business.

Damage, are the ref1.1000 available? I've got ALL my equipment (including the badboy 4.920) sitting here but must have the sub amp as well before I take apart my truck interior to install everything. I have been, err, patiently waiting for the 1.1000 to be released but have started to wonder if it's gonna happen. Obviously there are many other amps to choose from, but I personnally like the look of matched amps from a display standpoint. I need my 1.1000... BAD! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

PS. I do not remember the heyday of Sound Stream amps, i was using Orion's at that time but i do remember no one would touch them because they were afraid they would burn their ride to the ground.

Only amp they had issues with were 10.0's run at 1 ohm and under. Cause of death was rumored as bad motorola chips in the first bath or 2 of the 10.0. Never heard of fires started with the amp. I would take a 3.0 or a 6.0 over most amps even still to this day.

Ref 1.500 is in production as we speak. The 1.1000 is still being tested and is not in production yet. So the 1.500 will be out first/soon.

Is the 1.1000 a class G amp? What does that mean for efficiency?
