The TIP102/TIP107 have a much better SOA rating. But he never looked at the Safe Operating Area.

I'm guessing he switched to them because they were higher current devices. Those were used by the engineer that designed the Rubicon series. MOER, I never designed any amps using the TIP142/TIP147. I also can repair any Soundstream Old Ochool and Rubicon amps. If youi or anyone else has any more questions please feel free to contact me. Give me a better description of what you were asking and i will answer you.

The tarantula was based on Pro amp that was part of Stewart World Series amplifier line. I had a Pro Audio brand named Stewart electronics. I also designed the tarantula and Davinci. I also designed all heat sinks, power and output connectors and rca input jacks. Also is it also true that the only issue with the amps were the ratings only spec'ed power supplies? Are you talking about thgere power ratings? Can anything be done with the factory D series amp to provide more margin in the power supply? Are you asking if you can get more power out of thge amps by modifying the power supplies? I designed the MC series, Reference series, the later CA series, Granite, uSA and SA series. I also added the CA100 an adaptation based on Nelsons original designs.Ĭould you give me a clearer description of exactly waht you mean when you asked.

In the II series I re-laid them out on single PC Boards, then my company began manufacturing them. All I did tto solve this problem was to re-adjust the bias to a lower setting. A condition where the bias is set to high and over time the amps would overheat and shut down. They were laid out with point to point wiring which meant that they were not cost effective to build. Good sub-par amp for the first time rich kid that wants the name brand to brag about around town.Click to oystg, The original D60, D100, D200, CA40 and CA50 were designed by Nelson Pass. Please note the 5 stars goes for the reference 500, NOT THE RUBI!!! Rubi ranks witha 2 in value (as it is more expensive by a little then the same rated reference) and overall performance rating of 3. Had the ref 500 for about 3 years, not a hitch, and never a problem.just good, clean, consistent and dependable power delivery. Get the reference series or don't buy sstream. I immediately returned the amp 2 days later. Briefly hooked one up in the identical sytem setup as the reference was, location and all.(prospect of better everything so stated soundstream)This amp was about as loud at first, but then got very hot and as it played longer and longer, the bass hit's started fading. No heat dropped to 1 ohm load, and just went for hours and hours (long road trip were frequent) pushing (2) 12" Sstream SPL subs. Ok, firstly, this is a direct comparo of ref 500 and rubi 502.

If you do get one, make sure you get a FULL warranty to where you will have support. Sound quality is good, and lots of power.but it just doesn't last from what I have seen.

I've done a few replacement installs from the Soundstream boo-boos, and Everyone That I talk to wishes they would make a better product. this was a highly reputable place, which had been doing installs for years, with Certified Installers.

Now this was not some backyard install joint. The place of business ended up replacing his whole system for him (Luckily) due to the damage it caused.Ībout 6 months later, they dropped the Soundstream line. Well, Third Time's the Charm as they say. The third one lasted 2 weeks, and then shot stray voltage thru his whole system taking his Head unit, Electronic Digital Crossover, and every speaker in his truck. He was running 2 12" subs, at 4 ohms each In Stereo to the amp. Then they took the truck in, analyzing everything, Speaker Ohms loads, cable lengths/cable guage, RCA Pre-Out Voltages - all of the diagnostic procedures that should be done if your popping amps. The Second one lasted about a day, same thing. The first one, lasted about 4 hours, and then burned up. He went and had the amp installed from a local retailer for these amps. First off, im writing this for a friend, because he owned this amplifier for 1 month.
