Soundstream PA1.5000D Amp Dyno and Unboxing
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Soundstream used to be one of the most high end amplifiers you could buy, now they are very budget friendly, but are they still a decent amplifier? This one is rated at 2500W Rms or 1700W RMS @ 1ohm depending on which manual you believe, the one in the box or the one online. In this video we will find out exactly what this amp puts out and what comes in the box.

Of the cheap non cea certified brands, Soundstream seems to be the most reliable. Bought a p1.600d 4 years ago to drive two jl 8w1’s and it pushed them no problem . Never shut down after hours of continuous use. I put it in my son’s crv and now is performing the same with his two jl 12’s. Keep it up Ryan, and viewers, please subscribe . We need guys like Ryan .
Great job, I was wandering about those. I own the limited edition Rubicon 2500 and it is extremely powerful. I don't know if it does rated but for $200 I'm very happy with it. Love the guts shot , keep'em coming!
Idk why I love amp dynos so much, I'm subscribing :)
Not a bad amp, another great video sir. Did just under half of 5000 w around 2100 w and change. Just shy of 2500wrms rating.
Nice job stepping up with the volt meter and clamping for current draw. Having all the numbers is much appreciated. Looking forward to the skar rp 2000.1 review. I own one that powers 2 American Bass XR 12's, and it slams them very nicely. I also bought mine from down4sound because JP's customer service is wayyyy better.
Awesome..keep in coming..and thank you for these videos!
Professional unbiased Integrity. Way to NOT to include sponsored promotional content like the "big d" . Thanks! Really nice job. Keep up the good work...
Good job I enjoy your videos.. can't wait to see a DS18 on the bench
Good demo. All and all not a bad amp at all. Worth it. 👍
I'm glad to see this amp tested, although I'm kinda upset about the online manual and the box specification differences. Just put on the box what it's pushing out and call it a day. I see this amp is on sale at Fry's Electronics right now for this week for $170 with a email promotional code
I wish you would say out loud the numbers during the dynos. I usually listen to these KZread vids while I’m driving at work and not watching the videos.
Nice vid. I've been waiting to see something on this product line. I've been running the larger "6000" watt model for almost 2 years on 2 soundqubed hdc3 10s at 1ohm and love it

I had one for about 6months I liked it I ran it at .7ohm and never got hot
How r u loading the subs and also what type of power supply r u running?, nice looking amp I bet it would run without one of those fuses n ya think? Great video man
I have to get another soundstream 2 channel for my 15 in sub I already have a 5 channel soundstream for my highs and mid-bass including tweets. That 2 channel 5000 or 3000 should do some nice justice in the Acura thank u for the dyno

This amp is a steal compared to my rubicon 1000 when it fist came out. Could have bout 4 of these 😰
Wow not bad I got the pa6000 and didn't think it did anywhere near what it said
Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents....i have the pa1.6000d I am pushing 2 AB XFL 12s with it and they slam! Also running at .5 ohm and the amp performs flawlessly, never had a clip or it go into protect. Running high output alternator 1 battery through knukoncept 1/0 wire and big 3 upgrade. Also have the pa4.1000 running 4 crescendo pwx 6.5s things scream. Definitely one of the best sounding system I have had so far.
running 2 12' type R's and now i am looking for a solid amp that can do .5 ohm any suggestions?
what device are you using to power the amp?...i saw it at 6:11
Thank u so much i have 4 of them an ive been curious on numbers cud u possibility do a .5 ohm test an see the numbers thank u
Wich is best PA series or BXA series on soundstream amps?
Would this or the skar audio amp be a better budget amp on two 12s..looking to put a lil budget system I'm my girl car..
So is the rn.1 5000 worth getting to go with two level 3 DC audio?
would like to see a test done by someone that would test the effects of smaller/larger cable running to the sub woofer to see how small of a wire makes a difference and at which point a larger wire does not make any change... obviously the more power the bigger the wire needs to be but it would be cool to see it and have real life numbers not just the math.
So is Dynamic what we want as far as everyday listening? Or Certified
i own this amp, and it pushes 2 PA MOFO 124x perfect.. Can you test the PA 8000.1 ohm amp. Power Acoustik is bullshittin with the manual online vs, whats on the box as well
Soundstream back in the 90s was one of the top elite car audio companies very high quality up there with ppi,zapco,xtant,phoenix gold but since they merged with power acoustik years ago not anymore.
Would this amp b a great one for 3 t5 122 soundstream subs
Can you bench test the Soundstream Arachnid AR4.1800? Thats the amp i just bought to drive to speakers and a sub.
Yeah that's my biggest beef from Soundstream as of late Tweeter subwoofers and amplifiers specs are all over the place on the manuals boxes internet seems there is a lot of miscommunication within the company products aren't too too bad but definitely not what they used to be
Can you Dyno the Soundstream T5.2500dl?
On some of these why not try .7 or .5 ohm???
man i got a question if anyone can answer i have the soundstream ar1.8000D runs 3783 rms at 14.8V on my local dyno dude and i just bought 2 power acoustiks BAMF 154 which says it 1900 rms each for a total of 3800 rms which is matching my amp perfect now my question is this NO ONE HAS ANY VIDEOS ON THE BAMF 154 are they good or bad or too new please someone tell me i do have a 4th order being built right now for them but i never been a owner and PA stuff before will i regret it?
Soundstream FTW!
Can u do a video testing a Soundstream BXT1.10000D MONOBLOCK AMP PLEASE THANKS.😊

Thankz for info
Can u test the new Hifonics GEX series amplifier. Gemini Elite
Can you please do a dyno on the Rockville RXD-M2.
For this looking at this 3 years later this is the née RS1.5000D same amp little smaller and better looking case.. but specs are identical. I’d put a PBJ sandwich on this line that says internals are almost identical. Actually has decent .01% thd and 110snr claims… things you don’t see till you get to something like the JL HD series

Cool!... Now, how does the Picasso Nano series do? (i.e. PN5.640D) Crutchfield has that one for around 200, Amazon, around 144... (Well, some will say its because Amazon does allot of gray-market stuff.) Keep up the good work.

Sounds sound different on different systems/ devices . Example would be if someone edits a video to the extent of sending sounds to surround speakers or modulates a front >rear sweep on one side . U wont hear it as such if u are playing one a mobile or something with only one speaker in mono . Also if u have high dollar studio monitors but whatever ur playing was edited on shit speakers u will be able to hear things that u wouldn't if listening on shit speakers or single speaker . Honestly he does need to fix it it is very distracting on my phone .
I would like something this cheap that can bring me in TRUE "2500" watts rms.?
Wow i have a PA 1.6000D. Mine is rated at 2000w Rms @ 1ohm but i have it wired to 0.5ohms on 2 2ohm dvc tarantulas. I wonder how many watts its feeding the subs. And yeah not efficient at all I have to big ass Stinger batteries and still kills my electrical with dimming lights.
Would like to see a dyno on a lanzar opti 700x2
Music is a lil bit loud bro and the photos of the info is just a lil fast to let us read all detail comfortable just saying love the channel😎👍
Ryan Blankenship can you bench the BAMF 8000D it has dual 4 gauge inputs plus 5 40amp fuses you would also be first youtuber to do a soundstream 6000DL or 4000DL I own a 6000DL now wondering what it does without having a RMS tester I wanted another one to strap two data link 6000DLs they run .5 ohm or 1 ohm strapped I can't make up mind with friend on what we go with the DLs are suppose to be true RMS and use the same board in older series class d tarantula amp
I have purchased refurbished amps that have had incorrect instructions or kind of a generic instruction that covers multiple models
Wud it be possible if i send u one of my amps to dyno if not i understand just seem like u really like to dyno n test i have a few i wud like dyno j/l 500.3 kicker 2500.1 old school skar 4500.1 soundstream Rubicon 2500 n 1600
So I did hear you say that if we want to run this amp, it would probably require a bunch of electrical upgrades. Are there any amps that can put out the same amount of power that don't require as much or any electrical upgrades?

not really, u could pay for a nice high end amp that burns less amps for the same watts but not that less ... i would work whit the woofer box and the woofer more before jumping to a 5000w model

so if you tryin to do true 2000 watts you need a battery
I would love for someone to dyno a alpine mrx pdx or mrp there is one alpine dyno on all of youtube
Guess most budget amps need strong electrical? By the time one gets the electric strong enough to run an amp like this they will be able to move up to higher rms systems when ready, and have the electric ready or close.
For $190 bucks I preferred the Skar Audio RP-1500.1D I'm seeing it about $169.99 and I think it will do more than rated also more than this Picasso.. that's my opinion but good video! 👍

Someone needs to bring Soundstream back to glory the way MD audio is bringing Orion back!! Sad to see the older high grade amps nameplates being used as just that... Nameplates. Orion tops rt now in my opinion tho outta all the O.G brands ( minus Rockford and JL) and that's only because of the tech in those amps... Not build quality. Jmo

Dibeezy ThaGifted if you go back a couple of years they actually had some really good products out when they had teams that cared running Soundstream and PPI the problem was Epsilon didn't care about building a brand they just wanted to move volume. So stuff like Soundstream Reviving The Human Reign and Reference series and PPI bringing back the Power Class and making sure they actually were true to the original line intent was irrelevant if they weren't going to sell millions of them. MD seems to be run by enthusiasts or at the very least people that understand brand loyalty (to a point the cobalt and Z's are pretty much worthless) , they run Lazar Pro which people seem to really like and they are who makes the Lanzar OptiDrive amps for Sound Around which also shows up on people lists of great sub 300-400 amps. So when they bought Orion from DEI I it was a promising move. I wish Epsilon had left the SS and PPI teams alone cause the stuff they were making from 2008-2014 was actually really good.
