Up for testing today is the $220 Soundstream T1.4000DL, which might have more LED Combos than it does Watts. This amp comes in rated at 2000W RMS @ 1 Ohm and has been around for a few years... I had a couple of Soundstream Amps come up short recently on the dyno... Is this the streak breaker? We will find out as we unbox and dyno this amp!

Even the Sony amps would put out some real power abt 20 yrs ago. I use to see my uncle play with some Merlin audio subs and amps and also had some decent legacy amplifiers that put out some real power as well. Its a shame what happen to Audiobahn, I always wanted an Audiobahn sub but could never find an old school version and then finally when I did get one, it was a newer version and I blew a 12 inch 600 watts rms Audiobahn sub with an ap 1000.1. Now I have an evl 15 on a bxx2400.1 and I'm pretty happy considering I paid less than 500 for both sub and amp..

Tarantula and x3 lines for Soundstream are the real deal I get tired of people dogging on them because of their cheaper series, it’s just like Orion’s cobalt line or anything kicker. You get what you pay for. I personally own a soundstream t1.6000dl and I love it and have been running it for almost two years now no problem just need strong electrical. Much better than a skar RP2K for the money in my opinion.
@nicholascortez728
@nicholascortez728 6 лет назад
Cody Thomas the problem is they didn't use to be like that even going back a few years. The issue isn't that they have cheap lines the issue is their cheap lines have gotten cheaper. When SS relaunched back in 07 there cheaper line was the Class A/B and D Picasso amps but even while made in China they met rated numbers and were a unique Soundstream design and didn't cut corners on built. Epsilon has just made them a name to slap on an amp these days. Hell when they killed off the big clasa A/B and G Reference line in Europe back in 2014 they temporarily relaunched the line as rebranded Picasso Nano amps. What's happened is a shame given that 10 years ago they where making a legit comeback.

I ran my t1.6000 at .5 for over 2 yrs and always wondered what kind of power I was actually seeing. It would get a little hot but nothing crazy and I only had it powered by a cheap 850cca walmart battery and a 253a alt plus the big 3. I will say I liked it and I got it for around $275 brand new when they were still selling for up to $350. I'm glad to see that even when it did fall short on watts it didn't fall real short but on music i'm sure it does well plus on some of the tests where it fell short you were down to like 13.8v so I'm sure it could've pushed out say 75w more at 14.4v Another great vid though

72% efficient at 2 ohm certified and 71% in dynamic doing 1100-1200w? That's actually really good for $200. If you pair another one together to 1 ohm you will output 2200w at 72% efficiency for $400. That's really competitive with quality stuff.

TA1.3000 D can be had on Amazon for $239-$289 depending on how low stock is. The other full sized T series AB is a Clone of the US Acoustics Barbara Ann. $.02 Thanks as always Ryan.

Budget Gem or Budget Bust I’ve been trying to figure out the true power of this thing for a few weeks now. I was certain it wasn’t the 3k PA promised but I have it running 5 JL 8w1-4 at .8 ohms and it sounds great and runs cool and efficient. I’ve been in the car audio game since the 90s even was a dealer for Memphis car audio for several years and never in my life would I think I would be this impressed with a power acoustik amp. I have this amp sitting in the repair pile for a little over a year. It needed new output mosfets, not sure how it died as I got it from a friend who owns a shop here. I’ll report back if it does again.

As far as the bass knob thing goes Soundstream having Uber cheap plastic garbage is a more recent thing. The bass knobs that came with the reference line we're all metal and head clipping indicators same with the human Reign. Even the entry-level Picasso amps when they launched back in 2008 had metal bass knobs.

the gimmicky led make it a no go, I've never really like this brand either..for sum reason I still like the skar sk series amps, the color and texture is spot on, plus of course they do what u pay for and then sum

Skar is a wholesale Chinese company. American bass users the same manufacturering. There are a lot of the same amps but difrent brand. Not bad for the buck tho. I've had hifonics do really well for the price.

Can u try out different bass knobs see how much voltage they lose or. If they add distortion or how much I have heard the carbon ones do add distortion Compare them to the wound knobs such as spl cartel wish I had one. Of them, I think the ones that spl cartel make r called. 'wipers'?

I have the t6000. It has 1/0 power inputs(I have dual 1/0 reducers on mine and they fit real good. Powering a 18 lms ultra at 1ohm. Has never gone into protect or had any other problems in over 2 years. Optima red, big3, dual runs of power and ground to amp, 10farad cap. Still can cripple my power system at full volume...so I don't do that...really need an alt...

I have the t6000 as well and I'm running it at .5 ohm on a single DC Audio XL M4 12 with true 1/0 and it is performing beautifully. And it's in a Prius right now lol.

Ya know, I couldn't care less what a 'new' amp puts out at burst but what an 'older' amp can do continuous.

Same board as the PPI black ice 5000, no? Seems Epsilon is just branding the same thing over and over.

A lot of people pointing out dollar per watt, but is the quality there, is the amp gonna last longer than even a year?

Great review. Love your videos. I've been a big fan of soundstream for years but it is definitely hit or miss. I have an old xxx6500 that needs repair and I currently run a Picasso 6k (the larger version of the 5k you previously tested. No one has done a test of the 6k so I'd love to see if it performs as well as the 5k did. P.S. I'm slightly offended by 1 comment in this video. I loved Wild Wild West 😆😆😆

Another great test, sir thanks.. seems that Audiopipe APCL 1500 and 1800 are a better deal then this amp.. so is the Skar RP2k.. glad your doing these test, keep it up sir.
@Mmartinez4774
@Mmartinez4774 5 лет назад
I got this amp and glade you made a review. Was going run 3 sub at 4 ohms. Also wire it down to 2 ohms, but it's at 2.7 so would it be ok for the amp run at that ohms?
