hijacking this thread unmercifully....
the pawn shop near me has a granite 60.2 and a reference 300 for quite nice prices (they also have a black finned-heatsink 4-channel and a REF 4-channel that matches the 300 but I dunno the model number on either).
They have a bunch of BBQ series RF amps that are way overpriced, but the REF's are 119 bucks apiece and the granite is like 80 bucks.
think they're worth it???

) -- the granite was an intro. series from my memory, but functional.

The Reference series was good down to 1 ohm stereo, you had to flick the High current/high power switch oon the bottom of the amp. The Class A 6.0 was good to 1/4 ohm stereo, same switch on the bottom. Back when Korbon had the traveling amp test the lowest they could test was bridged to 2 ohms and it did about 780 WRms if I recall right. The granite was entry level, basically had a built in crossover and couldn't drop as low impedence.

And I am happy for you that you saw that. Again a single 12 in a prefabed box not 2 12's . I have the 05 xxx amp right now as well as their xxx sub . Believe me you need to do somemore educating. I have been using Soundstream for years. yes they declined but now they are back and they are coming on strong. I am a soundstream dealer. I test each and every piece to make sure that it does what it claims to do. They are good and better than what you think. The xstream series is a great line for the beginner who wants power but doesnt have the budget. They have even brought back the little wonder for 05. untill you have tried the 05 stuff dont knock it.
