I’m a old Soundstream fan. I’m 52 and they have been around for many years.And for the money they are hard to beat.I own the T1-4000DL running a FI BTL 12@1ohm.Ive has for about a year now and it has never shut off or went into protect.
@@bigblank69 How well was the overall heat distribution of this at full tilt stressing? I have one of these that I would like to integrate into a factory install however all the speakers are 2ohm in the vehicle. Couple that with 1 ohm on the subs side. I'm wondering if I should be looking elsewhere
I'm catching a lot of improvements in your ability to make these videos. Really getting to the point and noting things that may be missed if you weren't actually assessing the topic. Awesome to be learning alongside someone who provides such great information
I bought mine in 2021. In the past 3 years it’s like a love hate relationship. Sometimes it goes into protect mode randomly, all 5 channels work perfect and then randomly a channel stops working for about 20-30 seconds. But for $240 back then and powering my 4 tweeters, 4, 6x9’s and 2 12 inch subwoofers it truly is a budget gem.
Nice job Ryan. I think you and Big D are making a difference testing Epsilon Electronics amplifiers on TH-cam. This new Tarantula Electro series might be worthy of the "Soundstream" name.
I’m more into the gem minus the budget part of car audio.....but I love watching these vids. Great job again! I also didn’t think this amp would do as good as it did.
I'm a lil late to the comments but thank you for this review. My wifey got me speakers for my new car and I got these to push them because of your review.
We were looking to get my son a good budget amp for his truck almost 3 years now and after a lot of research, we decided on the predecessor to this amp, the TA1250.5. Mind you, I've got over 25yr experiance in this field and he ran this amp under the rear bench seat for 2 years in his '04 Colorado at 4ch @ 4 ohms and the sub @ 1 ohm. It was well ventilated and never got hot. He totaled his truck in April of 18 and the amp survived. It is now going to be put to use in his '11 Mercedes E350. Great amp for the money he paid and I would highly recommend one for anyone looking for a great 5ch budget amp.
Thank you for doing this amp. I've been running mine for about a year now with no issues. Skar TX6.5 components front/ TX6.5 coax rear and CT tropo 18" sub in the rear. It does a great job powering it all. 😁
Mid bass band-pass i don't see often at all... and should be used in SQ applications, imo. The sub channel numbers were INSANE. Great review! This is the 1st 5-ch amp i would actually consider buying for my Sonata
Class d amps are not really used in SQ builds, class AB is for SQ, although a lot of more quality brand korean class D 4ch amps are getting better, my deaf bonce aak-200.4D is pretty clean, but definitely not as good as there aak-180.4ab for cleaner SQ sound.. but the class D are a lot more efficient..
@@TurboJohn74 oh yeah. Definitely a great feature for the price it can't be beat especially for an all in 1 starter amp.. this amp will definitely be a great amp to get someone into car audio
@@fallofthezombies1379 the 200.4d is around 389 and the 180.4ab is around 369.. I have the 200.4d and it has enough power to power anything you can put on it mids&highs wise, I want to see it on a dyno. It has pretty much the same board as the skar 200.4 & sundown 200.4.. the sundown did unbelievably well on there dyno video.. I had someone tell the deaf Bonce 200.4 will actually perform a little better, it also has a little better crossover section on it.. the sundown 200.4d is like $700, it's pretty beefy amp, and actually small for what it offers, I was looking at getting the skar 150.4ab also. But I'm happy with my 200.4. It actually does 200 x4 @4ohm and 320x4@2ohm 14.4v.. it's a beast bridged also.. I got a really good deal on marketplace so I had to buy it, it was new open box I paid 230.. so I'll have no problem making my money back if I decide to sell it, but I usually don't sell anything
Have one in my wifes car and boy does it bump! Love this thing, and for the price its almost too good haha. Nice to know that SS puts out good stuff still. I have a 1200 watt max sub on it and run it at 2ohm and it really moves it. Also have a NVX "epicenter". Also i've had it for 4yrs going on 5, where i live the temps swing from one extreme to the other. SO 100 degree plus summer days about 5 months out of the year, and 29 degrees in the winter months . Solid amp for sure
NICE TO SEE THIS ONE PERFORM. I STILL USE MY T1.4000 IN MY TRUCK.....BANGS LIKE NOBODYS BUSINESS...NEVER GETS HOT AND NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME DEAF. BUY SOUNDSTREAM WITH CONFIDENCE.
This week I purchased this amp based on these results. Pushing 4 6.5’s, 2 tweets, and 2 15’s in a large sealed box like a champ. Just wish I could turn the dang lighting off but that is not an option. If they would have just included a subsonic filter this would be perfect. Those using DSP’s obviously need not worry about that. You can use this by itself to achieve an active system. Front channels for High’s, rear channels for Mid’s, and of course the sub channel. Will not fit 4 ga. and I had to cut a few stands of the 4 ga to get it in. If you are watching this and are on the fence about purchasing it, you better get one before they are discontinued. Big thanks to “Budget Gem or Budget Bust” and I hope you carry on the way you are for a long time.
Next review. NVX JAD900.5 and VAD11005. All Class D. During Sonic Electronix dyno tests they beat all their numbers. Constantly one of the best selling 5 channel amps on the market. I want to see you and BigDWiz amp dyno them.
What about the sound quality though...I have yet to hear a class D that can beat an A/B on my reference tracks. That said I'd love to compare the fidelity on this amp.
I’ve been bumping this amp in my stang since 2013 with no issues everyday daily driver on a tarantula 1000w rms subwoofer 12” potted enclosure also rear speakers and front components sound nice. Great amp!
Just got one for $200 on eBay, and I got it mainly because of this video. Love Soundstream from the 90's had a continuum 5 channel as the base of my 1st 10k pro system and it was great. Now I'm old and $200 is perfect for me.
that thing is actually not bad at all pushing 1000w at 1ohm is respectable with 70 x4 at 4ohm hell yea you could set up a car with decent 6.5's and a really nice 10" or 12" sub
@@bigblank69 I'm going to be ordering another amplifier that I'm going to have you do a Dyno on I will be buying it by the end of the week I will contact you through your email
At a price of $194 for 5 channel amp to power a budget complete system.. gets close to it's four channel, but surprised it made it's sub power.. agreed a gem for budget for sure.
I bought one of this and installed it in my van. I have it running @ 1ohm on the sub and bridged @ 4ohms on the high side and it heats up pretty quickly and even went into protection after 30 mins playing hard.
That is because they got bought out by a Chinese company. They used to be amazing stuff. I had a TC-308 tape deck back in the day and some class A amps that are still in storage somewhere. That was when they were owned by Nakamichi, but now they are just your average junk. Such a shame, went from the best bar no expense to just another cheapo brand.
WOW i think this actually may be the most powerful subwoofer output of any 5 channel that I know of. I'm not aware of any 5 channels that can put out 800w+ uncertified
Just got one to power my 2 12” 1800 watt alpines and 4 fosgate Door speakers. It’s a new build since my previous system got jacked while it was getting serviced at the dealership 😤😒
Good video, I noticed it took you a couple of days to complete. Different T-shirts. Still hoping to get my amp to you before the summer time for a dyno.
Impressive !! many replace the 4 factory speakers with two way units . that would be 4 channels in stereo mode , the 5th channel to a pair or good 12's at 2 ohms . perfect combo and would sound amazing .
I want to put a budget system into a full size standard cab pickup. 12’s vs 10’s can’t decide maybe 2 of each? Door speakers can’t decide. Rockville amps seem cheep and would work for my budget build. Tons of decks all name brand to choose from around $100. Don’t know if they still use electronic crossovers anymore since I have not put a system in since 1994. Just started looking things up and ran across your channel last fall and been watching your old episodes and enjoying. Anyways Any advice or ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks
I had the Soundstream pn5.640d. It ran 4 Focal 6 1/2s and a Image Dynamic 12. That was in a Honda Fit. I was surprised it sounded as good as it did. Soundstream isn't the same as the old school gear but it's to bad.
Why oh why does Soundstream insist on putting those awful dime store chrome spiders on a piece of electronic gear??? Yeah, I get it... Tarantula series. But, its laughable and makes their stuff impossible to take seriously. Nice test Ryan!
Nice ratings, did very well.. I'm more into the competition stuff though.. but very surprised. . I'm still waiting on that big 200x4.. my next very soon purchase will be an audiocontrol dm810 or dm608 dsp, been wanting one for a long time.. audiocontrol make sum very nice quality products and you always get what u pay for then sum.. everyone says there stuff is over priced, but it's actually not.. it sum of the absolute best stuff you can buy
Soundstream has been surprising me left and right this year have had a lot of luck with there processors and crossovers. Bought a few just to play with and there epicenter sounds better that audio controls in my opinion. I have both and I have multiple subsonic filters for the audio control because it sounded so bad with 30 or 35 hz subsonic built in to the epicenter cuts all those great super low notes
I was actually just looking at this amp last week. I have narrowed down my choice to either it or the Rockville dB55. Now if you would just post a video of the Rockville dB55 I could make my choice with ease.
Man thanks .. I'm about to put in of this in my C5 Corvette I was looking to put some dual amp set up but this will look much cleaner ... Thanks! Time to sell my old set up lol
I've had 100a fuses do over 135a pulls, but getting people to realize that is hard for some reason lol. I've never used circuit breakers but I've heard they will trip at the rating, although...... lol
Well, I guess I would need 2 of these. My girlfriend car has 8 mids/ highs and 2 subs. So I guess I shouldn’t run this to it’s lowest impedance in fear of smoking this amp.
they would probably do rated on the highs. i think the sub channel should get a pass because of its dynamic numbers. thats way higher than rated and a bit more typical of how itll get used.
Ok so I got the screwdriver and bit set that u use and I have to say its decent for the $ and comes with everything u would need to take apart or hook up any amp especially the old RF amps like I run
I’m seeing a new amplifier on eBay I haven’t seen before.Its a Synergy EFA 2K for 179.$ Now if you go online and look them up they are much more. I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of these?They look like your standard Chinese amplifier.
Can you run the front/rear channels at 4 ohm and the sub channel at 2 ohm? Not specifically for this amp but in general? I'm looking around for a 5 channel amp to run front/tweets and 2x 250rms/500peak watt rockford fosgate punch R2 DVC 4ohm subs in a 2013 F150 standard cab (there's enough room behind seats for speakers and amp rack). I already have the subs so I'm trying to find the best amp to fit my wattage requirements. Have 4 gauge wire already installed running 2 10" RF R1's but that isn't enough. Not even sure jumping to the R2 12" is really going to be much better...
Would you recommend this amp or the Rockville Db55? I have seen you video on both and can't decide which to choose to power the Alpine Type S I am running in my 2017 f150 along with a Pioneer ibflat 10.
How does it compare to the ppi ice 2200 watt 5 channel? I have been wondering about them. Thinking maybe the ice 7000 is a tarantula 6000 rebranded maybe? And on down the series. Any thoughts? I know both brands are epsilon so is there a difference or just the same rebranded?
Budget Gem or Budget Bust that would be freaking amazing! Not much in the 35.1 out there. Seeing if it can even handle 0.5. And I see many people knowing of these amps. So might make others happy just as me.
If it sucks 100 amps only from the sub output on 2 ohms how come it doesn't burn the fuse when is full connected on 5 channels ? I've seen that on many dyno's online and i can't understand how it works ! Thanks
I was lucky enough to find this amp at a shop that got them by accident instead of the 4000 mono. Shop owner was convinced that they would sit on the shelf forever. Got 2 of these for $260. I can tell you that this is much much cleaner than Pioneer as it is class AB and not class D
Not only is this cleaner than the Pioneer but this amp is really a SQ budget gem. Running 3 way fully active with an Audison bit 10, wow. I am a bit stunned honestly.
eh, its a soundstream, and their stuff tends to kill itself after a while since the company resurfaced or got bought out or whatever happened. so regardless of how it performs, its a case of how long will it do it long term?

Agree with gem. While it missed rated power, it does produce quite a bit of power for the price making it a great value for the money.

Can you please do the Skar audio SK-M9005D. Or the RP 5 channel
Great video, and an effort from Soundstream worthy of appreciation c; wonder how the high channels would perform at 1 kHz
they would probably do rated on the highs.
i think the sub channel should get a pass because of its dynamic numbers. thats way higher than rated and a bit more typical of how itll get used.
Test out Arc Audio 850.5 or 1100.5 if you can get your hands on one, I'm getting the 850.5 for myself very soon

I have the soundstream Rubicon nano 5 channel..I'm sure it's the same minus the lights on the spider logo
Is this the same amp as the hifonics brx5016.5?
Without seeing the guts of the Hifonics I can not answer that
@@bigblank69 I might send you a picture tomorrow through Facebook.
im having trouble removing the fuse. pulled with pliers. removed the associated screws.. still wont come out.. any help?
I think the four gauge to 8 gauge reducer hurt the dyno numbers
Doubtful... I have done a 2/0 to 4 gauge reducer on a 6k brazilian amp and had zero issues.
Can you run the front/rear channels at 4 ohm and the sub channel at 2 ohm? Not specifically for this amp but in general? I'm looking around for a 5 channel amp to run front/tweets and 2x 250rms/500peak watt rockford fosgate punch R2 DVC 4ohm subs in a 2013 F150 standard cab (there's enough room behind seats for speakers and amp rack). I already have the subs so I'm trying to find the best amp to fit my wattage requirements. Have 4 gauge wire already installed running 2 10" RF R1's but that isn't enough. Not even sure jumping to the R2 12" is really going to be much better...
I know I'm late, but look at the D4S 5 channel. That thing is a beast, even more power than what you stated
I bought one of those that was DOA so I am not happy at all with the El version but the first gen Ta3000d is my favorite.
you proly fried it
Would you recommend this amp or the Rockville Db55? I have seen you video on both and can't decide which to choose to power the Alpine Type S I am running in my 2017 f150 along with a Pioneer ibflat 10.
Did you end up deciding? I'm in the same boat
I would like to see the soundstream ta3000D on the dyno
I have looked all over for a test of the Skar SK-m9005d, could be a gem at $149.
I love the price per watt also but I absolutely hate the huge rating they put on the outside, my ocd won't allow me to buy it because of that.
Test a Digital designs DD5.1500. Rates sub channel at 1500w alone
What up doe, can you do a dyno on a PP Trax1.1200D monoblock amp, enjoy all your videos, thanks
was that the w-7500.1 sittin in the back?
The W7500.1 was not on cam... it was about 10 feet behind the camera
Is there a video of the 1500 watt 4 channel
Reckon this would make a sundown sa 12 move pretty good?
Wait... a 5 channel amp that is 1 ohm stable???
I have never seen you test a Hertz amp why not?
How does it compare to the ppi ice 2200 watt 5 channel? I have been wondering about them. Thinking maybe the ice 7000 is a tarantula 6000 rebranded maybe? And on down the series. Any thoughts? I know both brands are epsilon so is there a difference or just the same rebranded?
The Tarantulas and Black Ice amps do not line up
Finallllly another #SoundStream 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If I sent you a synergy WFO synergy 35.1. I would like to see a real true dyno on this amp. It reminds me of the twisted sonnds 3500 as in lay out.
I may or may not have some synergy WFO amps here in my possession:)
Budget Gem or Budget Bust that would be freaking amazing! Not much in the 35.1 out there. Seeing if it can even handle 0.5. And I see many people knowing of these amps. So might make others happy just as me.
The chick breathing in the song gets me all randy!!!
Test a kole audio pH1-5500 phanatik. I'd like to see what my 3 jl's at 1.34 are really getting.
If it sucks 100 amps only from the sub output on 2 ohms how come it doesn't burn the fuse when is full connected on 5 channels ? I've seen that on many dyno's online and i can't understand how it works ! Thanks
The main channels were connected and playing... also fuses dont fail immediately at their ratings...
I noticed you tested the 4 channels at 40 hz. Why not 1k hz? More than likely would have met, if not exceeded, its ratings
40hz is tougher on an amp.. so thats why I went with that
I agree with you on that.That is what most 4 channel amps are tested @1Khz.
Ooh... My ocd, terminals not in line!
hey, could you test the cheapest 2krms @2ohm amp you can find? need one for my subs but aint got much money
The Pioneer GM - 9605 beats that thing hands down look at Big D wiz video for the Kenwood Pioneer 5 Channel drag race
Less power on the sub channel with the pioneer and not 1 ohm stable
I was lucky enough to find this amp at a shop that got them by accident instead of the 4000 mono. Shop owner was convinced that they would sit on the shelf forever. Got 2 of these for $260. I can tell you that this is much much cleaner than Pioneer as it is class AB and not class D
Not only is this cleaner than the Pioneer but this amp is really a SQ budget gem. Running 3 way fully active with an Audison bit 10, wow. I am a bit stunned honestly.
eh, its a soundstream, and their stuff tends to kill itself after a while since the company resurfaced or got bought out or whatever happened. so regardless of how it performs, its a case of how long will it do it long term?
Can u test da db55 made by Rockville is a 5ch. Amp..!! thanks hope to see it soon keep up da gd. Vids..!!!!
