Shiva/Soundstream

[Registered 10+ year member]

Thinking of pairing a Shiva 12" ($110) to a Soundstream amp. Right now I'm looking at the Rubicon 300-2 ($130). So all in all adding in shipping on the amp probably coming to a little over $250. Any better combinations you could suggest (staying around $300) or insight you could add on the 300-2? I know it's a class-A amp, are the 300W bridged enough for the shiva? Anyways, lemme know what ya think.

That setup would work very nicely. 300 watts is plenty for a Shiva.

You could also get a pair of eD Kx.44 drivers and run then @ 4ohm off of the same amp. http://www.edesignaudio.com ... offer is good until the 27th I think. $153 for 12's, $135 for 10's. They would work nicely with your amp too.

There any big concerns about it being A-Class and not D? How does it compare to the JBL 600.1?

That should sound pretty **** nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Also, consider getting a JBL 600.1 from Sounddomain(get them to beat Ikesound's price) and buy a dual 2ohm RE SE 12" off David(TeamPSI) in the for sale section.

Just a suggestion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol, well I say get the soundstream amp and the RE sub that was just mentioned, that would be a sweet little set up for like no money

Saw that US Acoustics has their USX2100 that could put out 300W RMS @ 4 ohms...Any differences between that and the Soundstream? Pretty **** cheap at the zeb.

I love US Acoustics, but I feel soundstream makes a little better product

I'll second that.

Both are solid amps, but I'd prefer the Soundstream as well.

Well, that $99.99 got me...With what I've heard, it seems that I can't go wrong with that kind of price and the product I'll be getting. In the works of ordering the shiva too. Good times. My first setup. Hope this matchup works out.

It will ... you're getting some very nice equipment and it should provide you with what you're looking for.

the more I think about it a Rubi 1002 and Divinci 10 would be a sweet match
