Well the new Soundstream is NOT the old Soundstream (even REMOTELY!), but mathematically, here's how you figure it:
(2000/.6) / 14.4 for Class AB
(2000/.8) / 14.4 for Class D
2000/.6 = 3333.33 / 14.4 = 231A
2000/.8 = 2500 / 14.4 = 173.6A
EITHER result will demand a #2 at least, as #4 is only rated to 150A

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
