QUESTION: What could I get for my Soundstream Ref. 700?
Hey guys!! I would like to use a more powerful/efficient (efficient mostly)
amplifier to drive my subs. Right now I use a Soundstream Reference 700,
but when I'm really cranking the bass, the voltage drops from 14 down to
around 12 volts, and sometimes lower! I have looked into putting in a HO
alternator, the problem is NOBODY (and I have REALLY looked into this
including making some phone calls and exchanging Emails) makes an
aftermarket HO alternator for a '99 Subaru Forester.
So clearly a Class D amp would make a better choice to drive my two subs, a
pair of 12" MTX MXS (they are EXACTLY the same as the 7500 series, just
silver instead of black). But on Ebay, I see that even USED Class D
amplifiers in the 1000 watt RMS range (which is what I'm looking for) do not
come cheap, usually over $200 for used, over $400 for new.
My wife thinks I have spent ENOUGH on my car system (and I won't even BEGIN
to get into what she thinks about the home theater expenses), but I was
curious what I might get if I sell my current sub amp, a Soundstream Ref.
700sx. It is in PERFECT working order and in PERFECT physical shape. Any
ideas? Is it considered a classic? It would be nice if the proceeds of
that sale were enough (or at least close) to afford a good Class D amp.
Any thoughts? Any offers (LOL)? Thanks.
