im about to buy some soundstream rw12s and im having trouble finding the right soundstream amp to power em. they rated for 600 a pice but i dunno how there amps are performance wise so some one please give me a suggestion. thanks
welcome to the forum! I'd like to ask a few questions... 1. you are buying 2 12's? are they dual voice coil? single voice coil? how many ohms are they? DVC 4ohm? DVC 2ohm? 2. would you like to keep it all the same brand (soundstream) or are you open to look at other brands? 3. What's your budget?
yes 2 12s and yes they are dual voice coil with 4ohms. and i dunno i was just thinkin you kno keep it all same brand if it performs well and if it wont then go with antything to make it sound just right. and my budget is about $250
Ok, so it you're going with 2 12's DVC 4ohm, your going to want to wire them to a 1ohm load which means that your going to have to find an amp that's stable at 1ohm at about 1200watts cuz you said that your subs are 600 watts RMS for each sub... If you want to be anal like me, you'd want to go with the same brand. lol.. Here's a few amps by sound stream that would fit the bill. Unfortunately, the soundstream amp i had in mind is $292 shipped. it puts out 1500 watts RMS at 1ohm. http://cgi.ebay.com/Soundstream-Tarantula-TRX1500D-Subwoofer-Amplifier-New_W0QQitemZ220336379275QQihZ012QQcategoryZ18795QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Soundstream-Picasso-PCX1500D-Subwoofer-Amplifier-3000-W_W0QQitemZ180323142347QQihZ008QQcategoryZ18795QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/SoundStream-PCX1500D-Mono-Class-D-1500W-Amplifier-NEW_W0QQitemZ170286014924QQihZ007QQcategoryZ18795QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Here's another one but it's rated at 1000 watts at 1ohm.. http://cgi.ebay.com/SOUNDSTREAM-TRX1000d-Class-D-TARANTULA-AMP-TRX-1000d-09_W0QQitemZ360126132672QQihZ023QQcategoryZ18795QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Just curious. What's your budget for the 2 subs and an amp? Soundstream is an okay brand but we may be able to find something better for you. Have you purchased the subs already?
no i havent purchased them yet but im doing a theme car with spiders and webs and what have you and im looking for subs with the same theme. and im hoping that theese subs will be step ups from my 1200 watt legacy 12s. im not looking for something with incredible bass, but something that will give me good bass, i already got the treble under control.
these subs will rape your legacy subs...Legacy is a very cheap crappy brand. Hell even two Hifonics HFi12s will beat out legacys...i've heard them...they suck.
