[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8169286, member: 614752"] I don't trust those big far eastern amps period. They're nearly all identical but scaled up or down. That Chinese/Korean class D platform they use is rock solid up to about 2KW then they become prone to random self destruct from my experience. I've learned my lesson and am done buying amps with price per watt being my standard for "quality" Furthermore, they won't make rated power real world. A local guy replaced his SS 10000D's with AB 500.1's and is doing the same numbers. And soundstream was one of those companies that really went down the toilet after they sold out.... at least by comparison to what they used to make. I've used a few things they put their name on lately and they were about the worst quality garbage I've used since the days of the flea market "Kenford" type brands. They may slap their brand name on something worthwhile, but IMO you start putting your brand name on enough turds and I won't want any part of any of it on general principal. We used to **** on people who ran power acoustic and somehow when you put a gay *** plastic spider on it it's good? I'm not playing! With the more reliable stuff out there in the same power/price range the only good reason to buy them would be a sponsorship or a very friendly dealer who would guaranteed back any failure, and even then I'd look elsewhere first.
