WOW...all i can say

so i have been a car audio installer and designer for 20 years. I have had all the brands, sony, kicker, alpine , jbl, kenwood and jl. some were better than others. I wanted a 5 channel for my car and i didnt want mulitple amps but i wanted power. so i tried soundstream...blown away!!! 100+ signal to noise ratio and 500 rms@ 2 ohms for the sub or 750 if i go to 1 ohm. thisnamp is way underated...clean powerful and easy to adjust. stop listening to know it alls who say you have to spend tons of cash for a good system...i would put this up against anything and have extra money to use onn ga to drive and enjoy my ride

Sound stream t5.2500dl

Bought a PPI black ice amp and was not happy with it. Spent more for this amp that ended being a really stable and descent sounding amp. I love the RGB lighting on it with the aluminum body. I would definitely recommend this amp for looks and sound quality. I was running 6.5 coaxial polks with a dual coil 12 in infinity sealed subwoofer.

Great amp

Got it this is a good amp really good lots of power don’t wait buy it before it’s gone you don’t know hat you’re missing

1000watts dynamic on dyno @ 1ohm on the sub channel.

Installed today, replacing an older 5 channel. I was compiling a shopping list to go to 2 amps since the sub channel is usually the weak point on a 5 channel and my 15’s just weren’t hitting right. Anyway installed this today and d@mn this thing slams. If you want a real idea of what this amp actually does then go to YouTube and look up the 2500DL on the awesome “Budget Gem or Budget Bust” channel. Anyway 1000 watts on the sub channel dynamic @ 1 ohm on the DYNO. The video also shows the guts and they are legit.

Soundstream T5.2500DL

I own 2 of these. One is in my car and the other in my boat. Sounds amazing in both.

S Q Value Plus

First I am an audiophile, I don't like distortion. I can truly say that this amp does not and any thing abnormal to the tracks I like to listen to. It has ample power, without overwhelming my car's electrical system. The price you can't beat, one of the cheapest amps I have ever purchased. I have it on the floor of the trunk of my 2007 Ford Mustang GT, configured for 3 channels powering two coaxial speakers in the front doors and one 12 inch sub. I have had it for over a month in this high heat, no problems yet.

Great Amp

Looks Hot, easy and clean installation. I'm using in 3 way 250W x2 ; 1000W x1. Clean sound and it pushes subs with ease...

soundstream 5 channel

Purchased this amp for my boat, running 8-6.5 polk audio mids and highs, and 4 rockford subs, 2 ohms on 4 channels and 1 ohm to sub channel. This amp is super clean, as clean as my Zapco and arc audio equipment in my cars. I wish I would have saved my money and bought this amp instead of the high dollar amps. I hear zero difference is sound quality and it has gobs of power. This amp gets loud and stays very very clean. Love this amp!!!!!!

Always wanted a Soundstream, now I know why.

I purchased this amp to replace a Elemental Design 5 channel that finally died after 7 years (thought I loved it), and I am happier with this amp. The looks and physical feel of the amp in person are fantastic. I was concerned about the SQ of this amp, ends up I didn't need to be. This amp improved the top end of the components I have in the front stage by smoothing out the highs (easier on the ears). I was not able to get a TRUE 0 gauge (not the skimpy 0 gauge, the big stuff) power/ground to fit into the terminals. I did a distributor to a single 4 gauge as its only 1 ft of wire run and I am not demanding the amps full potential just yet. I will be installing new 6.5 components, 6.5 kick panel subwoofers, 3 x 12" subs at 1.5 ohms and connecting a 2nd battery.

For those audiophiles who are concerned about the old saying "you get what you pay for", this amp just might be an exception, unless you need/love tube sound. If you want to know what I consider good sound to be my past/other car amps include PPI PC (from 1999), Hertz, Phoenix Gold ZX (1997), Xtent, Kenwood, Pioneer, and McIntosh in my current car with Dynaudio components. Cheers to car audio!!

Soundstream for the win..

Very impressed with the T5.2500DL, it replaced another 5-channel from a another manufacturer and the difference in SQ was immediate and very noticeable, I thought the system sounded pretty good before but was it only sounds better now. The Tarantula 5-channel has a BP filter making the switch full-active quite painless, it also has internal lighting that illuminates both the spider logo and the Soundstream name, you may think it's kinda gimmicky but once installed and you choose a color that complements the interior it adds some serious bling.
My interior is Blue and the Blue lighting on the amplifier matches perfectly. The sound is crystal clear and there is more than enough power to get plenty loud. The bass response between this amplifier and my previous amplifier was very noticeable, I can't describe the difference but let's just say it's night and day. This amplifier is Class AB and does not disappoint, you just cannot go wrong with it. It accepts 4 gauge inputs and has external 100 amp fuse, there is a button on right side of amp under speaker terminals that selects the lighting color and effects, just keep pressing until you find a color and mode that suits your mood.
This amplifier is also CEA 2006 rated meaning it makes at least the advertised power but I can assure you it exceeds the listed specs.
The T5 is brand new for 2015 and Soundstream did a great job, if you're on the fence about which 5-channel to buy then get off the fence and get the T5.2500DL, you will be pleased with the build quality and components..

Soundstream T5.2500DL

This amp replaced an 8yr old Kicker ZX700.5 that developed crunchy sound at higher volumes and some speaker whine at idle. This T5.2500DL exceeded my expectations, sounds clean and my Kicker Solobaric really came to life on the sub channel. May not be the quality of the old school Soundstream name, but all connections, adjustment dials, etc seem well made. Killer for the price...

Serious Swat for 3-way setup

If you want a beastly active tweeter/midbass/sub setup, this is an easy way to get it all in one box. 4 guage stinger power wire, 6 channel RCA and some Stinger Speedwire and my Ridgeline is a force! NVX x series 6.5s, ID XS28 tweets, currently two ID10 subs sealed @ 1 ohm. Alpine 265bt head. I'm actually not using the crossovers on this amplifier because my HU can do it all from the driver's seat. But I have used the previous version of this amp (no leds, no 1 ohm sub chan) for another active build utilizing the crossovers and it worked great. I think the spider motif is dumb and could lose the leds without a care but it is behind my back seats so I just get the glow...
