Just wanted to share my installation of my two amps. The JL 450/4 is mounted on a rack in the spare tire area, and I mounted the Soundstream Rubicon II 500.1 on a rack across the back.




You will notice that the soundstream amp does not have any wiring to it. It's waiting for the arrival of the big surprise.

 

Nice!

How do those Utopias sound with all that power?

 

Still waitin on that sub huh Jimbo?

 

Very loud and clear!

 

That's the surprise in the works.

 

Cool cool, cant wait.....

Whatever happend to the Soundstream fiasco?

 

Amp on the way back to them. I've had several conversations via email with one of their EE. They will be shipping me a new one and when it arrives I have to call their EE to make sure I install it properly. They are also going to open up the old one to see what happened.

I don't understand why the JL works just fine with all the same wiring.

 

I remember I got a pair of the Klipsch Promedia 5.1s back when they first came out. My set was fine, but everyone else's was blowing up, set after set, after set. Finally mine went. Sometimes good companies have many flukes.

So you're gonna swap the JL for the soundstream again, and keep the JL as the reserve?????

How's the SQ difference? Which one is better in your opinion....

Im guessing Van Gogh because of the stupid regulated power supply in the JLs.

 

At this time it is TBD. I'm very pleased with the SQ of the JL 450/4, and not very happy with the reliability of the Van Gough.

 

Gotcha......Let us know how everything turns out. Hey, at least they are being nice to you right?
