Soundstream, precision power, Rockford Fosgate Orion and Hifonics were kings back in the day. None were a bad choice when building a killer system back then. Great video Big D !!
First time I've ever heard the lawn mower effect...🤣
Less editing as promised
His neighbours are so noisy! How inconsiderate... 😉😆
If it's your first time, how'd you know what it was? 😏
I loved my soundstream rubicon 1000s on my exact 12s..great sounding...
It would have been interesting to see how current draw and efficiency changed in the alternate mode, but this was still interesting. Thanks for taking the extra time to make the video.
They where known for clean power low distortion/ battle back then was between soundstream and PPI precision power...Both set you back way more than any average weekly or even monthly paycheck back then..
It's nice seeing what they can do at different voltages and test frequencies. Thanks for that. 😎👍👍
Another great test, Big D. 👏 👏 👏 👏
All my soundstream amps blew up...and my reference 800- smoked my reference 10's...when it played- it sounded amazing.
Very interesting. Thank you
That damn neighbor always cutting his grass at the wrong damn time.
Soundstream and Phoenix Gold were both underrated back in the day, but unfortunately, I think nowadays they’ve fallen from glory. I still have PG Xmax subs, 2-12’s and a 15 and PG ZX titanium amps tho. Love the vids, keep’em coming!!
High current mode is to run the amplifier with lower voltage on the rails, therefore enhancing efficiency at low impedance with high current mode on.
What happened to talking about the high current mode at the end? I'm curious of the explanation of the difference between high current and high power modes.
4:47 What happened to the 0.5 bridged measurement?
The amplifier went into protect😂
So my lawn mower exhaust tone is 1khz?
I stuck with my D and MC series when SS changed to Reference. Glad I did and the local shop seemed to get a lot of them back with a different smell. Lol. What exactly does flipping the switch do?
You were smart to hold onto the predecessor amps. Reference 300’s and Reference 500’s were terribly unreliable. Reference 200’s were fairly bulletproof, however. Flipping the switch changes the rail voltage to allow the amp to maximize power output into either high impedance or low impedance loads.
Please can you make a video with the ''made in Japan'' oldschool car audio? and why the made in japan car speakers from the 80s sounds louder than new car speakers?
Is it me or did we miss the certified .5ohm test just skipped it over? What happened?
I was wondering why you didn’t use high current mode last time
Looks like there is a problem in the power supply. A recap might be in order.
I hear a lawnmower.
Mowing 🤷♂️
What about majestic amps from the 90's they where everywhere back in the day

Old girl kicking
test schiit gjallarhorn with your elac speakers
Amp is horrible 😂
Their new stuff is junk. This amp was still in the good era .
@@fabelgamer7410 some of it is not. But even the lowest model they sell now still outperforms this all day
@@donaldjackson4456 from a power standpoint i agree. But start measuring slew rates and damping factors, then see which sounds better.
@@fabelgamer7410 oh im sure.
Looking at just power versus listening to this amps sound quality.....then you're just gonna miss out on a lot of great amps plus the whole reason amplifiers are actually made.
Oh yeah, this amp is from 1993! 30 years old!
Most amps made in 2023 will barely survive to even turn on in 5 years from now!
So a 20% loss in rated power over 3 decades isn't to bad in my opinion......😄
