Anybody running the new soundstream amps?

I've heard good and bad things about them?

Espically interested in the multi-channel new amps.

If not i'm going back to the old Reference 405, that beat my litle ranger to death back in the day!

Thanks

Like most products, the old soundstream stuff was in a whole different league from he new. The old is quite a bit better

Couldn't pay me to use the new stuff, I have two of the last good ol' amps from them. A new Tarantula and a Ref414s still hanging around the store.

An original Tarantula, box and all, in my display, never mounted or powered up. Still for sale if the price is right. I am still considering using it in my F350. There were not many of these brought into Canada and I think I may have one of two that were this side of the Rockies.

It looks like the Ref405, color blue (go figure), has 4 guage power / ground terminals. Auto high current. I think it was rated at 50w x 4 (way underrated at that though). It is a used amp and has some use but still runs like new. Too bad that they did not build amps like this anymore.
