care to elaborate? or are RF just that much better than soundstream

 

[cleansoundzz 10+ year member]

I have used the RF personally so i can vouch for them. Everyone knows that Soundstream went to crap once they sold out to Pyramid or one of those companies. It's just another case of a once good company going to crap once they sold out and started making their products overseas.

Just that simple.

what are some other amps that would push those subs well. a lot of good amps on the market, alot of bad ones too. what are some other 1 ohm stable amps other than sundown (wish I could find one refurbed for a good price, ive given up looking). thanks

EDIT budget is 300-350$

and eby selling them about 400 lol. thats what I am saying, i think that would pound thos esubs nicely. a refurbed one is only about 320 bucks. not sure about refurbed **** (though it is sealed in original box, refurbed by manuf so maybe not so bad?)

Sundown 1500??

Is that $320 delvrd?

Who are you thinking about purchasing it through on the Bay?

imo refurb'd aint bad at all. HighDesert got alot of my money. Depending on the seller I wouldn't think twice about buying refurb'd

RockFord power and Kicker subs has always been a good combo for me.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Just that simple.

These are the best amps to come out of Soundstream since 2003. Soundstream is under new management, and are making changes for the better. Till you have heard/seen one in person, I suggest not giving your input.

Of the amps listed I would go with the Tarantula. The Picasso is a nice amp as well. But the Tarantula utilizes higher quality parts.

Also, Soundstream started making there amps over seas in 1999. 2 years before They sold out to Epsilon electronics. The lower number Rubicons (102, 202 302 Lil Wonder, Angina ect...) were made in Korea.
