Soundstream T4 And Response Amp

[EARMUFF]

Hey guys. Im buying a Soundstream T4 15 inch sub and response 1500w monoblock amp. Im gettin charged 600 bucks for both. they in good nik. barely used. Is this a good price? Or am i getting ripped off?

[DRD-00F]

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

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

[DRD-00F]

Quite a few US brands moved their production lines offshore about 3 years ago... I make certain to stear clear of all of those ones...

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.

[DRD-00F]

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 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

[Vik]

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

haha, I've had plenty of boss and a few sony... I've run the gamat of shit in my cars

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.

[DRD-00F]

Yeah I'm over there too, but never post... have a look at the for sale section every now and then though

[usmair]

lol... thats a messy install dude

[DRD-00F]

haha, to be young and have a budget of $0 dollars again!

sooooooooo many things wrong with that boot... not to mention it leaked when it rained

Pumped hard though

[Vik]

MEA is great .. i post there aswell.. heaps of talented people with a fine ear lol

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.
