[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8527816, member: 650438"] reviews arent everything. What wins competitions is everything. You got noobs that never experienced anything quality before giving that SS amp a 5 star rating and saying they do 160 dbs blowing out windshields. Or guys that are just happy to have a working amp. Its a budget amp, it will work, but your HDC4 18 will always feel lacking with that soundstream amp. You are vastly underestimating the amount of electrical upgrades needed to run a true amp that can safely and fully supply proper power to your sub. Skimp out on the electrical and you'll fry your sub and amp. ESPECIALLY AT HALF OHM. What i listed was the BARE minimal if you dont have all of that, dont even bother trying. big battery doesnt mean much. A big quality [SIZE=12px][B]AGM [/B][/SIZE][B][/B]battery is mandatory. Half ohm draws are Extremely TAXING on the electrical system. IF you cant keep your voltage above 12, its bye bye amps and subs. Not to mention you get a lot less power out of your amp at 12 volts vs 14.8 volts. [/QUOTE]
