[QUOTE="884agze, post: 426095, member: 554296"] Okay....... So I found the soundstream model #. It's a Soundstream Rubicon 202 and I went and got the manual from their homepage. The Specs are: 4 ohm stereo (8 ohm bridged) (12.8Vdc) - 50W X 2, 100W X 1 4 ohm stereo (8 ohm bridged) (14.4Vdc) - 75W X 2, 150W X 1 2 ohm stereo (4 ohm bridged) (14.4Vdc) - 100W X 2, 200W X 1 I can't say I know very much about these specs at all, but does it still sound like the soundstream would be a better amp???? The concept website says the subs can handle 200W each, 6 ohm impedance. JMAC - I also tried not bridging the subs, and bridging the subs according to what was displayed on the amp, and had the same problems both ways. When you mean wired below an impedence it can handle, does that mean the wires from the subs are too high a guage? I think they only used 14 or 16 guage wire from the sub to the amp. But the power and ground are definately a lot larger, like probably 8 guage. Should I use thicker wire from the subs to amp maybe??? Maybe I'm way off, I dunno. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
