Soundstream old products are like PPi and Orion.

For now,i don't test or worked with the newer products they have.

I own a Soundstream Amp for my mids and highs (new model) and some 6.5 3 way speakers tarantula models, i really like them, they sound really good and clean, some please says soundstream is notthe same as the Old school soundstram, .... my opinion, i really like them ( also the way the speaker looks is awesome, with a spider on top, looks really nice....)

Depends on which ones? the old school amps are very mean and will do the job, they are under rated big time.

For the new stuff i heard they are kinda crappy?

Old stuff Rocks!!

lets just say, had i gone with another amp, over my Tarantula TR800/5 i would have not been as happy as i have been with this amp.

if your hesitant about using soundstream to power anything, dont be, if soundstream is 'not as good as they used to be' then i'd be very curious to see how good they really were, cus i've been a very satisfied Soundstream customer.

there are plenty of other great brands out there, but you cant go wrong with soundstream.

The older Soundstreams were killer amps. They also had a line of pretty nice head units, but not sure if they still do. I think Hitachi manufactured the head units.

newer stuff isn't as powerful as the old stuff...but is still damn good...as far as amps go they are focusing a little more on quality instead of power anymore...which don't get me wrong, neither was bad...but they just decided to sacrafice one a little for the other in their new line...still good amps though...as far as subs go...they actually went the opposite way focusing a little more on spl...had two twelve davincis...blew em...but loved em...got to twelve tarantulas...loved em...but still wasn't loud enough...got rid of them and settled for two twelve gti's

these are the amps i was looking at.
