What do you think of the Lil Wonder 5?

[yotabeater 10+ year member]

found a deal on a soundstream lil wonder 5-channel and was wondering what y'all thought. it's gonna be running a set of blaupunkt 5.25's, a set of alpine components, and an alpine type r 12. i'm using an mtx 5400x right now, but i think the lil wonder might be better. thanks. -Josh

Monster amps!!!!! If it is in good working order I say get it. Way underrated power and built like a tank.

the guy says it's in perfect working order. he wants $140 shipped. but i'm still kind of iffy on it. it's part of the rubicon line, and i thought that's when soundstream started going downhill.

rubicon are solid amps.

that's another reason i was looking at soundstream. i hear they are musically the best sounding amps ever, i'm just worried about how loud i can crank it before i get distortion. looking for sq and volume, as i like to blast my shit as loud as i can.

SS Lil Wonder 5 won't give you 500rms for your Type R

i figured i could get away with pushing 200-250 to it and be fine.

From what I read Type R's are power hungry.

Really only in a inefficient box. But it's true you wont get as loud as you could. And from this statement

as i like to blast my shit as loud as i can

you will not be happy.
