Soundstream Stealth amps (smaller than Alpine PDX) - anyone use them?

[smellygas]

Does anyone have any experience using the Soundstream Stealth amps ? They're tiny footprint, smaller than the popular Alpine PDX, and they're a traditional class AB design. Just curious, since Soundstream has come out with some new stuff that hopefully is better than their cheapo stuff.

2.125" x 6.5" x 9.625", and stackable. That's pretty small. (esp. compared to 2.44" x 7.6" x 10.13" for the Alpine).

Def interesting. Sony, mb quart and arc have none class d small amps .
The thing with small amps that are class AB is that they won't be able to make PDX power.

However these seem pretty interesting and look good to. Especially the 6 channel , seems to make good power. Don't know about the over 4inch height though, thats pretty unusual.

[AAAAAAA]

They actually make big power for class AB... and they are cheep on ebay.... might have to get a few.

If you do, make sure you post your thoughts. I'm always interested in small cheap amps.

[AAAAAAA]

This is exactly what I was looking for.
Just ordered 2.
Will review and put up gut pics.

[CGG318]

Sweet. Looking forward to it.

I want the 6.900's :eek: In fact......//off to ebay.

There's something fishy about them.

Those amps are making quite abit of Class A/B power in relation to the chassis-size.

Wow those are cheap! Wonder how well they're built though?

I have not been a fan of sounstream amps at all since the old school. My 300-2 and 1000-2 have been online for 6 years, but never made remotely the rated power, that's for sure

Damn, this is almost too good to be true...they must be 100% surface mount or something.

Kinda off the topic path, but I'm diggin the new look of the Reign Series

[AAAAAAA]

Def something up, maybe similar to the arc's class G that is apparently a "sofistacated" AB.

They have xovers that go to 4khz and bandpass. The 6 channel just seems to be 2 amps stacked one on top of the other.

The STL1.1200D is obviously class D and packs a punch in such a small chassis.

According to SS, all Stealth amps are class A/B with MOSFET Pulse Width Modulated Power Supply.

There's something odd about the specs. Damping factor is pretty low for a class AB amp. Also, the S/N ratio on the mono amps are really low compared to the others.

[AAAAAAA]

The FR on the mono's are def class D range.

I'm liking this feature

Subscribed. I'm looking for an affordable, quality sounding 5-6 channel amp. I love Old School...but the problem is that all Old School amps are old! lol

I just want something to sound good AND work reliably.

That could be only for the 6 channel though. Will know in 6 to 10 buisness days though.

Looking at the manual looks like the 4 channels will do 2way active setups.

Uh oh, I smell a forum boner!

[mSaLL150]

What are their fuse ratings? That'd be impressive if they actually bench their rated power...they are super small. And cheap.

I have doubts.

vertical mount?

Very cool. I was an old school SS fan too so I hope these aren't just more junk.
