Thoughts on Soundstream Rub1.2500D

[joeybutts 10+ year member]

I've been looking for an amp that will give me about 2500RMS for four SQ HDS212s in small sealed. I was originally looking at the super small amps (APSM2000, N4, PH4000MD, etc) but don't get a good feeling about them. Don't know why.

So I found this and at $290 was thinking it was a steal, but wanted to do my research before pulling the trigger. Thanks for any insight!

I have no idea if that will do rated or not. The THD is fairly high at a 4ohm load though which is concerning.

Double post. Phone is being dumb.

Do you think I should just up the budget and try to find a Crescendo BC2000D?

Sounstream amps are fairly decent. The THD is not the best as stated. They will do rated but require lots of juice. I had a Tower and it was great I thought. Most on here will not care for them.

Personally, Id budget for something a touch better quality.

I do not recommend it friend had one and it was distortion piece of junk and he had a big battery bank and nice wire. I would recommend if your not looking to spend much more a lanzar opti series(sonic electronix) or a soundqubed 2200. I personally have done alot of test with diffrent amps and I love the opti series for the price and clean power they put out. You don't want those cheap amps like soundstream, audiopipe they clip quick and break soon

I was thinking of the SQ amp actually too....
