Gotta say, I'm shocked to see soundstream put out 2k watts and beat the 2 and 4 ohm ratings certified. Looks like going to a full bridge design was the right move, even if they did steal the design from soundigital. Nice video Big D! I wasn't expecting this and It was a fun video.
i like this amp looking to buy ty for the vid i liked and sub but im not sure witch one i should buy 2 channel or mono is for subwoofer but i also want the feature high pass filter thats good witch one u recomend me mono or 2 channel
oi3 Vehicle not running will run @ 12v. Vehicle running will provide 14v. That’s why BOTH ratings are provided. Get the amp that makes the most power for a sub. 2 channel or 1 channel is fine as long as it has enough power. The 2 channel amps are bridgeable to one channel.
I’m sitting in the pharmacy drive through and for the first time I’m listening to one of your tests through my car stereo. I’ve got to do this more often!!!!!
I got one on the way for my 2 sundown sa 12s. Cant wait to try it out. Edit: 2 years later and its still going strong. It pushes my sa 12s to the limit and sounds pretty clean. Its not a sq amp by far but well worth the 160 bucks I payed. Mine is fed using 1o cable power and ground on a stock 140 amp alternator and a napa gold agm battery.
@popspowell4981 nope but from no fault of the amp. I lifted my back seat and it snapped the terminals in half because the cable was caught on a bolt. Ive already bought and installed a 2nd one and its going great. It snapped because the terminals are like 4 guage so you need a pair of offset metal adapters to run 0 guage.
It's nice to see Soundstream put out an amp that's able to put out what it's rated at. I'd be interested to see how their TXP4.3500D does in a test. You did an awesome job on the video, it's great to see the amp's performance as well as both the inside and the outside from as many angles as possible. Thanks!
Wow - they did very nice work on rating this one! Only a very slight bummer on the 1ohm test, but I'm not complaining as it still easily surpassed the rating dynamically. I am genuinely excited to see that - this line is on my radar now! :D
That amp does look good. Would love to see the 4 channel get reviewed, but also do a subjective listening test to let us know if it's really viable to run midranges and tweeter or if the amp sound is a bit harsh on the top end. I'm looking for really good resolution and details and I'd take some warmth as well :)
Beautiful heatsink!!!!! That much airspace inside with a fan👌👌👌 Me.... Id put in/out fans where the acrylic panels are. Yes, 4 channel please. THANK YOU for the great content Big D.
Just bought this amp today based on your video. Only running it at 2 ohms with 2 Ct sounds 10’s. Sounds great. Gonna be upgrading the electrical soon to feed it a little more juice. Thanks for the video.
BULLSHIT...CHECK OUT THE TARANTULA 1.4000D BUDGET GEM OR BUST REVIEWED IT. IT DID POWER. THAT'S THE AMP I HAVE HAD FOR 4 YEARS NOW. GOING AS GOOD AS NEW AT 2000 WATTS.
First time seeing these soundstream xtreme amplifiers, pretty cool looking. Big D doing his thing with the dyno love watching these new amps they come out with. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this and yes please do a 4 channel test I am planning a all soundstream build with soundqued subwoofers in my 18 wheeler(Big Truck) these are really great news and numbers. Keep up the wonderful work giving us the realistic details and numbers 👌 P.S. check out Incriminator Audio amps IA 20,IA 30,IA 40
I bet Soundstream bought a sound digital amp and sent it over to their build house in China and was like build me one of these with our in-house components
Thanks for the reminder that I really need to get the stuff to build a box for this old shit that I've had lying around forever and actually get that in my car. And I need to snag a little Class-D unit for the truck, also. It never ends. Anyway, yeah you should test that 4ch unit. This stuff is always fascinating.

Very nice good for the door Planel speakers 😁👍 hey can you test the China clone amps from lap gruppen amplifiers the fp22000 you find it in the Alibaba Shop if you search fp22000 😉 its a PA amplifier.. Good Video ever 😊👍 greetings from germany my friend 😊👍 iam the guy with the 152,9 Dezibel at home 😊
Would like to see the sound stream arachnid model 4 channel 2000watts and the 2500mono block on the dyno to see the power they are putting out. Thinking about getting them for a system but want to see the power they have at first.
It's crazy I was researching this amplifier last night and I thought here we go another Soundstream underpowered, im happily suprised. Great video derek
given it does the important numbers it says on the box, I think we can look past it.... Beastly heatsink, pretty lights and that price tag doe! Now we need a longivity test, a little less wattage than my current set up but send it on over Big D and I'll put her through the ringer.. haha had to try.
BIG D!! Jimmy V.... Man, I have loved Soundstream since back in the day!! I went to the USAC World Finals on Soundstream Earthteam (1995) .... I know they have gone through some changes, But.... They are looking, and doing Better,Lol... Great Job, Buddy..Keep up the Great Testing!!
I love my soundstream splx dual 2-ohm subwoofer 12", I'm a fan of the upper end models, just don't like the entry level stuff. Human reign amplifiers, and DaVinci amplifiers are my favorite amplifiers
I love all your amp dynos they help me so much. I purchased an amp.based on your review and it was great until I spent some months using it and its performance degraded fast. I'd like to see videos of you using these see amp in a real car under real time performance like stock alternator with stock wiring no big 3 and see if they perform the same. again 5 star for testing and info. ps: your videos are awesome huge fan. iv watched easily 90% of your videos when I have time
I appreciate these vidoes Derek. It did well on most of those tests on the amp. I was happy with that it did most of its rated power. It did well in my book considering who made the amp.
I would love to see you test the 4 channel version. It’s crazy how small these amplifiers are getting and still making big power. I’ve got an old school reference 405 sitting in my closet that I’ve been thinking about bringing out of retirement, but it’s literally 4xs the size of these amps. I’m sure the quality isn’t what it was back in the day, but it also wasn’t a cheap amp back then either.

Thanks for the video Big D, always love ur content. I don't care much for the full bridge design amps, bit live watching u test anything. I'd watch u test an old school eq booster.
@@wal I have to say I have a problem with getting subs and getting tired of them and selling them and getting different ones but these HiQ 12s are keepers
Wow, what a turnaround for Epsilon. Finally an amp that does what it's rated. Haha, they have been deceiving folks for so long they just had to put that 6000 on the box. I like it though, no matter what they call it.
Alot of the older (ten years back) PPI and SS amps did or exceeded rated. Issue was when the people that cared left they just started rebadging junk. Nice to see these are actually decent. I wanna see a test of the Rubi Nanos and the new PPI Power Class. Though.
Hey BigD. I'm a big fan just getting into the car audio scene. Thanks for this review! I'm getting the TXP1.12000D (this amps bigger brother) installed in two weeks and I'm glad to see it can keep up with its rated power (almost) lol
@@SoundstreamTVNetwork Yeah buddy. Im excited. This will be my first big boy system. It'll be pushing 3 10's in the very near future, god willing. Cant wait to get into the brand.

I've been trying to watch all of your stuff recently, like 12 V Talk, live streams, I just absolutely love your videos! Hope you are doing well and everything! Be safe and keep doin' what you do! 😎
@@wal OMG, thank you! As if your videos didn't make my day, the response made me feel like a school kid and made my week! 😂😂😂😎 Thanks again, kind sir! I'll be grinning for days. ❤️
Dude I'm impressed. Always loved soundstream. Hopefully they stay on this track. The price point is quite reasonable for the power. Might roll.the dice on the 4 channel and this for my new ride. Footprint is a big plus also
I would really like to see the 4 channel tested. With the way this one looks and performs I can see myself running 2 4 channels, 1 for my mids and highs, and the other in 3 channel mode(if it has it) for midbasses in stereo and bridged to a sub
That's a lot of power for such a tiny amp. I'm impressed. I'm sure that even Dick Rickulus would approve. May even pick 1 up for myself. Yeah boi! 😁👍🔊.
I recently installed one of the stealth models in my motorcycle. I made the mistake of assuming max power meant half or less in the real world. I blew a $200 set of polk audio speakers in a few days. I now have to take it easy on the new ones, and every time I smell anything close to a hot coil, I shut it down fast. If interested, I have a 2nd one I am not using. I could send it to you for a test video.
I'll count this as a win. The marketing geniuses allowed an actual RMS rating on the spec sheet. Still they plastered 12k on the box and the model is a dubious 6k number. I think it's the right direction though, accurate manuals are where we look for real tech specs. It's almost like Big D himself had a hand in the specs on the back of the box. Great price on this amp, they should sell great with the new design and tested performance. I think they could have improved alot of things on this amp though, no subsonic filter? Or did I miss that. One set of speaker outputs, very budget. It looks like it could have been much slimmer with a different chassis. I'd love to see Soundstream get away from the spider logo, bring back Reference. Great video! Love it!
@@MookieFlex bro mine blew right after i installed it and i dont wanna knock the brand so dont take it that way,because i have bought tons of soundstream products, but there wasnt a replacement available, and i ended up going with sundown audio and i just gotta say WOW my new amp rockss
Hi Big-D, thank you for all these test. You really expose the false advertising. All the way from South Africa and we love what you do. Wish I could get an amp dyno to expose the crazy ratings on amplifier we have in SA (24000 watts) 😳. Any chance you will test the DD DM2500? Love to see the rating on this amp. Thanks once again and God bless
Would love to see the four channel. I'm hard core old school when it comes to amps. But I really like the look of these, they might just end up in the ladies car.
Awesome 👍, soundstream are not the Beasts they were of the Old School era, like many other legendary names; but I'd still give it a double 👍🏼👍🏼 for the price and performance. Good Job D
This would leave me to hope they're actually going to step up their game a bit. Also thanks for doing the 1khz test. Its good to know. Even though it would seem it should do better @ 40 Hz than at 1 kHz anyway thanks for taking the time bid d. Take care
I can't say much of anything because I've always been a big fan of Soundstream. I have a Soundstream Rubicon Nano RN1.5000D and while I already know that it doesn't push anywhere near 5000 watts, I've always been interested to see what it actually does put out because it SLAMMED my two Sundown SA12-D2s. However, I learned from your videos and bought an Orion HCCA 3k watt cheater amp. I am no professional, but I was smart enough to install a 360A high output alternator that cost me $700 and I also did the Big 3 upgrade, and I ran all 0/1 G wiring. I do have a 3 farad cap, but I haven't researched enough how to use it properly, and I'm only using one of the power and ground inputs, with hardly half gain for four Sundown SA12-D2s, so it SLAMS and it doesn't draw too much power.

So my theory is correct. SS amps with a half spider = half power, whole spider = whole power 😂
I never thought of it that way. I just assumed all SS amps were 1/2 rated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro this about made me crap myself. Freaking hilarious. I've had SS amps with half spider and full spider
Didn't even hit half, if you go by what is on the box.
😂😂😂😂
I ordered min on Amazon and it’s shines the whole plexi glass up and the guts
That's gotta be one of the coolest amps I've seen soundstream put out since the Rubicon series, definitely gonna get me one.
It’s exciting to get new audio jewelry
I just picked up a rubicon 2500 to repair and I agree, sleek! especially the matte greyish blue.
In 2001 - I had two Rubicon 302s and always wanted a 1002. Bought one that was new old stock a few years ago. These were so good. Expensive but good.
always wanted a human reign 4 amp-
Eric Simpson REAL Rubicon amps are top notch. I have a closet full of MINT amps in boxes. Is yours still running?

This is a good looking amp and it’s performs. Not too bad...
Agreed 👍

Not bad for the money. You’re right, they do look really cool. It’s nice to see retro modern designs, this was pulled off well.

Great video 😁 keep pumping them out
Would love to see a dyno test on the wolfram 4 channels 😉
Will test one soon 👌
At the beginning of the video I was like Ok where's Dickriculus? Then I saw the dyno, cool good job Soundstream. Thanks Big D!
👌😝👍
This is almost twice as powerful as the Pioneer 9601 which is unbelievable actually. Picking up two
Solid review Big D. Not a bad amp either, especially given the price point.
I agree
Dude I'm impressed. Always loved soundstream. Hopefully they stay on this track. The price point is quite reasonable for the power. Might roll.the dice on the 4 channel and this for my new ride. Footprint is a big plus also
I would really like to see the 4 channel tested. With the way this one looks and performs I can see myself running 2 4 channels, 1 for my mids and highs, and the other in 3 channel mode(if it has it) for midbasses in stereo and bridged to a sub
It may not hit all of its ratings but looking as nice as it does I would give it a pass. Very cool looking amp.
That's a lot of power for such a tiny amp. I'm impressed. I'm sure that even Dick Rickulus would approve. May even pick 1 up for myself. Yeah boi! 😁👍🔊.
👌😬👍
Yes, would love to see the 4 channel amp test
I recently installed one of the stealth models in my motorcycle. I made the mistake of assuming max power meant half or less in the real world. I blew a $200 set of polk audio speakers in a few days. I now have to take it easy on the new ones, and every time I smell anything close to a hot coil, I shut it down fast. If interested, I have a 2nd one I am not using. I could send it to you for a test video.
I have a Sound Stream PN1.650D that I bought back in 2015 or so and it says made in Korea, it's also still sitting in the box!
😬👍
That brand use to be very expensive back in the day. And we didn't have this videos to know.
I have had my Taranto for Five years no problems
Nice power in a small package. This amp might be on my to buy list.
I'll count this as a win. The marketing geniuses allowed an actual RMS rating on the spec sheet. Still they plastered 12k on the box and the model is a dubious 6k number. I think it's the right direction though, accurate manuals are where we look for real tech specs. It's almost like Big D himself had a hand in the specs on the back of the box. Great price on this amp, they should sell great with the new design and tested performance. I think they could have improved alot of things on this amp though, no subsonic filter? Or did I miss that. One set of speaker outputs, very budget. It looks like it could have been much slimmer with a different chassis. I'd love to see Soundstream get away from the spider logo, bring back Reference. Great video! Love it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice wasnt expecting a soundstream amp making its rated power.
I got the 6500 2ch version for just midbass .
Based on this video looks like imma get what I want out of it .
I definitely want to see the 4 channel test. I’m in need of some budget amps that put out some juice, at a good price
I had a chrome soundstream in 1998. That thing pounded three , 12 inch JL Audio's
Just bought this amp, thank you for making this video!
👌😬👍
How do you like it so far? I'm interested in getting one too.
@@MookieFlex bro mine blew right after i installed it and i dont wanna knock the brand so dont take it that way,because i have bought tons of soundstream products, but there wasnt a replacement available, and i ended up going with sundown audio and i just gotta say WOW my new amp rockss
@@salimsopari Haha daaaang that's disappointing! Did amazon just refund you?
@@MookieFlex ya i got a refund i returned it
Hi Big-D, thank you for all these test. You really expose the false advertising. All the way from South Africa and we love what you do. Wish I could get an amp dyno to expose the crazy ratings on amplifier we have in SA (24000 watts) 😳. Any chance you will test the DD DM2500? Love to see the rating on this amp. Thanks once again and God bless
For the money this thing is a beast. Unreal.
Would love to see the four channel. I'm hard core old school when it comes to amps. But I really like the look of these, they might just end up in the ladies car.
If a metal bass knob, with clip light. And 1/0 inputs, and dual 8 gauge speaker inputs and it'd be almost perfect.
Love the "Price is Right" sound! takes me back. 🤣
Awesome 👍, soundstream are not the Beasts they were of the Old School era, like many other legendary names; but I'd still give it a double 👍🏼👍🏼 for the price and performance. Good Job D
I’m happy to see amps rated honestly, still wish they would get rid of the Max stuff though
Thanks agaim B-D you should be getting paid for the advertising these. Picked one up can't beat the dollar for watt price. Thanks agaim👊
I just want to test stuff and show you guys the vids. The rest will come
Not a bad amp for the price! Thanks Big D!
My thoughts too
I might have to try these jokers out!!!! Liked the video as well
Thanks brother 🙏
Not bad love your amp Dyno videos big d wiz keep up the good work bro
This would leave me to hope they're actually going to step up their game a bit. Also thanks for doing the 1khz test. Its good to know. Even though it would seem it should do better @ 40 Hz than at 1 kHz anyway thanks for taking the time bid d. Take care
N def try the 4 channel if you'd be so kind
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thats a cool lil amp and a total powerhouse!
The Soundstream name needed this.
Absolutely
Boom diggity! Nice looking & good performance to boot 😎
Heck yea I’m going to watch this tomorrow
I can't say much of anything because I've always been a big fan of Soundstream. I have a Soundstream Rubicon Nano RN1.5000D and while I already know that it doesn't push anywhere near 5000 watts, I've always been interested to see what it actually does put out because it SLAMMED my two Sundown SA12-D2s. However, I learned from your videos and bought an Orion HCCA 3k watt cheater amp. I am no professional, but I was smart enough to install a 360A high output alternator that cost me $700 and I also did the Big 3 upgrade, and I ran all 0/1 G wiring. I do have a 3 farad cap, but I haven't researched enough how to use it properly, and I'm only using one of the power and ground inputs, with hardly half gain for four Sundown SA12-D2s, so it SLAMS and it doesn't draw too much power.
Look forward to buy one so I can run my 2 soundstreams t4 12
