soundstream amplifiers?

Hi im looking at getting a soundstream tarantula mono block amp to power my SPL subwoofer and would like your opinions and experiences with these amps if you get one. Thanks

No one really? Lame

Not Lame, I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

I didn't buy one yet, if they suck tell me. Only reason I looked into one was you reccomended a soundstream Picasso to someone. What do you think bout the new alpine mrx. M100? Thanks

Soundstream is NOTHING like they used to be.  I have not seen that particular Alpine amp yet.  They have really made some solid amps in the past.  I see no reason they would have went the wrong way with their new amplifiers.

Thanks thats what i was thinking. most good old amp companies suck these days :( i know you probably feel the same about hifonics as do i. I have they're 25th anniversary bx 2000 and its rocks. But i bet they're current line is crap. Since no one wants to help me with speakers for my truck do you mind sharing your thoughts on some speakers im looking at? I need some new 6.5" for my 01 dodge dakota which has the infinity system. Im thinking either the older alpine sps600 in the back or a pair of mtx tn653? I love mtx subs so they must make alright speakers. Also looking at some infinity ref6022i in the rear.... Kinda on a budget, just need all working speakers, bought the truck with 2 blown ones and it drives me nuts. Thanks
