Anyone have or heard the Soundstream Tarantula Series subs? I'm interested in the T5-10 personally. Based on the specs and what I've heard of Soundstream subs before, I figured it might be worth a try.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

i know there is a thread in here that lists all the beginner, stay aways, good, and competition (opinion) manufacterer (cant spell lol). I dont know where it is actually but I know that soundstream is put in the "good" list, if that helps any

That list is and was proven wrong in many instances on this board.

You cannot classify the "today" Soundstream with the "old day" Soundstream.

The Power Acrapstick masquerading as Soundstream today is far from the hand built and rock solidly engineered Soundstream of years ago. Personally I would not touch the new Soundstream at all. Next showcase please Bob.....

power acoustik has nothing to do with soundstream. power acoustik, spl, and kole audio are all the same company

I'm on Rob's side with this one... The new "Soundstream" ONLY shares the name with the old Soundstream. Whether is Power Craptastik or not, it AIN'T what it used to be, and I'd turn to other stuff LONG before I'd consider using the new Soundstream.

Overall, it's over priced junk, now - kinda like Mercedes! posted_image

(What's a "raido", blkmrideon22s?)

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."

haem have you never heard of the new raidos??

they are FAR superior to normal "radios". They are 180 percent efficient and can pick up ANY frequency and satellite signals...they can get HDTV without a hick up.

Most new raidos can put out up to 100 watts rms per channel while fused at 10 amps...very nice but I'd never get one

I had 2 12" T5' s and was very impressed with them. I am going to buy 2 more in the summer. I haven't had any problems with the Tarantula series at all, and the only bad feed back about Soundstream was from their lower lines of products.

Actually its The owners of Lanzar that bought out soundstream. The XXX-6500D by soundstream was out actually before it was put out by soundstream.

The Lanzar optidrive 4000d is the exact same amp, all the way down to mosfets, and caps. I have had some people test them and they actually produce very very close to the same power, but the lanzar is close to half the price of the soundstream.

Hmm. Ya know to me, those look like *very* beefy amplfiers. The big fat coils and caps.. along with the ample internal wiring make me think these would be nice amplfiers... particularly in comparison with what the market would deem higher quality equipment.

Compare here:

I dunno I'd be really interested in hearing these Soundstream amplifiers.
