The link takes you to the circuits2u main page.

Are you looking to buy another amp?

 

lol... how many amps does it draw total?

 

Soundstorm , IIRC was a Soundstream knockoff....... Taiwaneese.

The specialty for them was the 20 dollar 1" tweeters.

 

Really!! I didn't know that. I always thought they were a knockoff brand, jut didn't know from who. You learn something new everyday.

 

its a 700 x2ch, if you do the math is 1400watts total i just hooked it up to 2 old 12" kicker comps i had and man does that thing pump, my neibors couldnt here there televisions!!

 

hear*, and you still haven't answered my question. Add up the fuse ratings on all the fuses..

 

oh, well theres 2 fuses and each 1 is 25 amps. is that decent?

 

It is actually a 250W (RMS) x 2 amp into 4 ohms. The 700x2 designation would be a peak number with a 2 ohm load.

Their motto is kind of amusing "Everything else is just noise"

Certaiinly not an SQ amp but if you just want something that is loud, I would say you got a decent deal.

 

this stuff is pretty dam confusing. so what would be the peak with a 4 ohm load

 

Irrelevant. Peak numbers are ***** manure.

 

You will never see peak numbers. You are lucky to see RMS numbers.

 

man! i guess i underestimate watts because if my speakers are pumping out only 250 watts a peice i dont want to hear 700!

 

you'll be lucky if that amp pushes 500w, with the gain up and music at full volume.

 

i dont know about all of that. all i know is that it does sound really loud for an amp that bearly pushes 500w. but i was lookin at a sony sub and it says 1200w max rated at 350 so i was thinkin that even though my amp says 1400 but only pumps 500 the speakers say 1200 but only handle about 350. am i saying that correctly?

 

Yeah, sounds correct. You should never look at the max of stereo equipment to get your first impression. RMS is what you pay attention to. Besides, don't forget what mendon said, Which I would think that the amp is probably gonna overheat if you play it at full volume long enough, and that will eventually lead to terminal failure of the amp. Unless that amp is UBER efficient. If I am wrong, can someone please chime in and correct me. Good luck.

 

thats how i have it gain all the way up plus the stereo. and its prtty cool unless its hot out and its like 95 rite now.

 

how many gauge wire should i use 8 or 12, since the amp isnt that strong.

 

Me personally,I would never use less than 4 ga.If your going to do it,do it right.That way if you upgrade the amp you already have some good wiring.

 

true that. but right now i have 8 gauge wire. is that too thin or is it good.

 

whatever dude. im not an audiophile. i just like loud music. and contrary to your belief knockoff or not that amp is workin very efficient barely ever gets hot.

 

china was just goiving you what information was available. I don't think he was being degrading at all.

If you didn't want to hear our opinion, why did you come here asking for them?

 

dont get me wrong, i appreciate all of the information that was given to me here. im merely just responding to what he said. i didnt mean to sound like an ***. i guess im being allitle protective of my amp. lol

 

As long as you are happy with it. Who cares. Some people turn thier noses up at what I have too. It doesn't bother me b/c I am very happy with it.

 

Pshh who turns their nose up at your car? Didn't you learn on here last week that Alpine Type ARRRRR's are the best speakers ever, only second to JL

 

lol! Type-RRRRRRRRRRR>All
