You know what I get out of this channel? Nostalgia. A reminder not only of simpler times but to see how many other people shared a passion for car audio in the 90's, and a validation - or disqualification - of certain products being high or low quality. I can't do much with the information itself, but it's good to reminisce, and that'll do. That'll do, Big D. That'll do.🔈🔉🔊

Learnin me up on this brands history really threw me back by what I discovered! Soundstream is the FIRST US based brand to develop professional digital recording gear as well as being responsible for the first digital recordings, pre-dating the advent of the CD! Top it all off, Soundstream amps from early on were designed by the GREAT Nelson Pass! His current Pass Labs/First Watt home HiFi amps cost top dollar, yet he also posts his circuit designs for free, sells DIY amp kits, and will assist you personally in building them via his message board. The man is a superhero of audio!

Amazing subwoofer, incredible that both are still in mint condition! Well preserved! The 90s were a great time for audio equipment. Sound quality was amazing but so was power overall for the time with some Class AB amps maxing out at 400-800+ watts. These days the sound quality of most amplifiers home or car isnt nearly as good as the 80s and 90s Class AB amps. They do still make Class AB amps based on those vintage amps but the original amps from back in the day are better for sure in sound quality. They sure dont make audio equipment like they used to...

I got my start with Soundstream, those SPL10s and that shot of the Continuum take me back to the mid 90s for sure! I used to have 4 SPL10s on the "High Current" setting of a Reference 705, I never could get the SPL 65s for my doors but you could hear me coming!

Soundstream was the best of the best in the year's of 1995 to 1999. I adore the soundstream class a 10.0 , I've heard that pushing 3 of those spl but 12's. My uncle won 1st place with that soundstream reference "cheater" class a 10.0 amplifier, pushing 1000 watt's in a little hatchback sponsored by the store who sold him the equipment, sound mart in Spokane WA 1999. Awesome times that I cherish and will never forget. I wish they were as good as they used to be, unfortunately they've fallen from that mountain top.

90's Soundstream is my favorite along with Orion, Boston Acoustics and Audio Art. There were other good brands too, but those 4 top my list some for different reasons. Like Audio Art for amps but Boston for speakers/subs. Soundtream was both amps and speakers/subs. I think the SPL line might have been what evolved in to the Granite line? I had a couple of the Granite 10's. Wish I still had them. They were in a 82 Trans Am I had back then.

Has the 405 been recapped? I have one of the last ones tgat Wade upgraded. I still havent used it after about 4-5 years. Would love to see you test it!

We don't see amps that have all the connections on just one side much these days. Now what would be the next sub coming in, one of those BASS subs from Alpine?

What is the proper way to store a subwoofer? I have my 2002 jlwo10 sitting on the magnet side flat

I like to store them horizontal so the spiders are not stressed.
