I've never liked either brand. Soundstream go for looks before functionality which is stupid in the world of audio, and response is cheap...

if that is a WRMS rating, then good, otherwise I wouldn't be seen near those two brands...

but that's me, it will still make noise

beg to differ mate soundstream have been leading the audio industry for years,

any way

www.bitaudio.com.au

get some bargains on here mate

600 is a bit rich for the sub and don't buy a shitty amp for a good sub,

i would go for 12 having owned the 15 and the 12(the 10 inch is a very good sub aswell) and the t5s are much better than the t4s

and spend some money on a custom box

hope that helps

Im gonna have to stand up and defend the Prescision Resonse range of audio products. ther are great quality and actually perform like they say they do in there advertising (like on the packaging with power outputs).

people dont fancy the stuff becuase it has a low price tag when if you actually know anythihng about car audio you will know how many awards the entire range of amps have won.

end of day, its a grand that uses quality components and perform well.

good luck with watever you choose

I also have to agree with chris. I would use a response monoblock before even thinking about using say a pioneer / kenwood / JL amp.

They have recieved numerous awards for their amps and GENUINE power rating which state in RMS and not " maximum output "

These amps are sturdy and can take abuse. Ive owned 3 Response amps and have never had a bad day with them. Great input / output RCA functionality and can be tuned to your preferred music.

Hmmm... spose my level of audio is a little different to the standard stuff... I'm not sure Response make anything that can power my gear, and I doubt I could fit a soundstream amp in my car :D

When Soundstream were made in USA, their amps was really good! Now, I must say, they are sh*t

hahahaha someone is being a brand wh0re... Response products are far more superior than that Kenwood/Sony/Pioneer junk you see all over the market.

I've been installing car audio in a few of my mate's cars, and all I ever buy are Response Kevlar splits, Response 4x100 digital amps and guess what? they sound better than those flashy brand names.

I own a response amp... 4x100 actually... it's a good solid amp for people starting out, but it's no longer enough power for me... my mate his it in his supra now...

Maybe I should just be saying that i don't buy cheap audio gear... I understand that for something twice the price, you're probably only getting something one and a half times better, so it's not worth the money, but it's something I enjoy :D Price is literally the last thing I look at when buying audio gear...

and I haven't even mentioned a single brand I run in the car yet :D

Ohh old doofskies ..

haha.

Im not saying the response amp stands anything against DD Mono's DDZ2-LV's or DD Mono DDZ2-HV's..

But.. like you said .. for the novice in car audio its a good stepping stone.. thank god i never touched a sony amp in my life.. or those Boss audio 1000WATTS OF POWAH! amps .. -.-

Anyways.. Response is a great brand .. and have the awards to back it up .. its great for the guys who just want a thumping system, on a budget.

Ive got all my gear hooked up to my jaycar amps.. but once i decide to run my splits active and get Rockford Fosgate P3 DVC's then i will definately need something bigger .. but will always keep the Response D-Class mono in mind :P

that's the old serious, look at their new range of their Digital Amps!

no idea about the S/N ratio, but I can tell you they're a decent buy....

I've installed 2 lots of them and I can tell you, they're nice and clear and don't lack the frequency range of a more expensive amp.

Yeah I'm form CAA.. lol now called MEA, but I have a different username there.

There was a review on kenwood, alpine, clarion, response and a few others about a year or 2 ago.

Pretty sure it was in Zoom magazine, see if i've got it floating around, I'll scan and put it up.

Check the ohm rating if you are using response amp with a soundstream subwoofer as i recall their subwoofers ran at 3 ohm's, dont go blowing up your newly aquired gear.

The Response came out on top for both the the amplifiers and sub's, followed by Clarion then the other

brand there after.

You dont need to spend a fortune to get quality.

Sometimes people spend a fortune on on the bigger names and it sounds like crap.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
