Cool video brother! I remember drooling over the Reference 405, 604 and 705 amps back in the early 90's. I think they are from 1993/4 time frame. The 1000s was 1995/6 I think. This shows the quality of the old amps as these are 25 years old (plus) and still work!

"And its turned maybe a quarter of the way up. That thing's got 75% more power." It doesn't work that way. Gain is not a volume knob. Don't clippedy clip the living shit out of your equipment and end up breaking it.

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

Yes it does lol. If I used a and and turned that amp all the way up to just before clipping it’d blow this subs instantly. Lmao. Gain is a power knob. I know what you are referring to but you are wrong

[@Thezuule1]

@@KBMOTORSchannel I understand what you're saying now but gain is not a power knob either way and an amp doesn't "have more power" just because there's more gain knob. Gain is used to match the input voltage to the output voltage. If you have a 1000w amp with very low input voltage you need more gain to get your 1000w. If the input voltage is high you need less gain to get your 1000w. The amp cannot put out more clean power just because the gain knob is lower. Saying it has "75% more power" because you're at a quarter gain is simply wrong. It may well already be clipping at 25% gain. Do whatever the hell you want to your equipment though..

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

Idk man, but if I’d cranked the gain up to 50% it would blow those subs. So yes you are correct in part of what your saying. But it also determines how much power is going to the subs. So I’m having a hard time trying to follow what your trying to say I did wrong

[@Thezuule1]

@@KBMOTORSchannel I am 100% correct in everything I'm saying. I've been installing car audio systems for 22 years. Talking about the gain like a volume knob is where you're getting lost here. 50% gain is meaningless unless you know the input voltage of the RCAs. My SFB-1000 has the gain up 10% and the output wattage is 1400w. That's full clean power for the amp. The gain doesn't go up anymore or there's no more clean power. This is because the gain is matched to the input voltage. Many amps even have the input voltage stamped on the gain knob the same way the frequency is stamped on the LPF knob. You're talking about how cranking the gain up to 50% would burn up the speakers, it may well, but you might already be clipping them with the gain at 25% because you're just willy nilly cranking on the gain. There is a proper way to tune a subwoofer amplifier using test tones rather than just turning it up to some arbitrary 25% or 50% based on nothing. If you're going to make car audio videos please get this straight, it will improve your listening experience and will keep old pricks like me from correcting you lol. knowledge.sonicelectronix.com/what-is-the-gain-setting-on-an-amplifier/

[@johnnymuthafcknb1827]

@@Thezuule1 I think what isn't understood is wording. The words like power gain and volume are the same thing to most that don't know the difference in a clean vs dirty signal. My system holds 15.8v 15.2 if i play in the lower 20hzs long term. My gains on mine are 1/8 up , volume on radio clips at 44 so full tilt longterm at 42, amps stay cool and subs do great. Now i can gain a few dbs turning amps up but i can only play a few songs and amps get hot.. So i guess in the end a dirty signal can be looked at as more power lmao.

Very nice find. I believe I have bought from you before on ebay a couple of times over the years? Car parts. Take care, and I'm glad I found this channel. I used to vibrate the ground back in the day. LOL. Two kicker comp 12's and a Phoenix Gold amp. I had two separate Kenwood amps running my mids and highs back then. My box was rear facing in the hatch of a '96 Ford Probe GT. The amp board was between the rear of the box and the back seats. I think the box, install, two subs, and amp was like $1100, but this was 23 years ago. Like your find, I sold it for $300 a few years later. The kid bumped all around his high school before class one morning, and by the time he got out of class the Phoenix and Subs and box were stolen. No alarm system in his car either. Not that that would of stopped them.

To fix your dustcaps, if you can't straighten them out with Duct Tape; try using a small gauge sewing needle. Poke a small hole in the middle of the dent, then carefully work your way around to reinflate the cap. Finish it by using Silicone to seal the hole to make sure it's air tight. 👍

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

Any Phoenix gold from the 90's, and Rockford Fosgate punch amps from the 90's. They were super under rated. A punch 60 was rated at 30x2 but would easily push 2 12's and made more like 250+ watts. Old school MTX thunder amps also pushed way more than they were rated. Look at Big Ds amp dyno williston audio channel. He does alot of the old school amps. Crazy thing about old school audio is 300 watts and two 12's are loud. I remember having a cheap urban audio amp that was 75x4 or 150x2 bridged. I had it on two jbl 12's and it hit real hard. Alot of mainstream stuff now days dont hit the super lows. My friend had the clone of that urban amp, called a targa. Both were hexfet amps. He had his on two Pioneer IMPP 12's from 1996. It hit hard as hell. I have two kicker comp c 12's in a sealed box same size as his with a jbl1001ez. The 501ez dynoed 717watta certified, my 1001 does around 1300 real watts and it still doesnt hit the lows likely friends did in high school despite way more power and the same type enclosure. You have to go with the competition subs and a ported box to get low these days. Back then a good mosfet amp a decent pair or 12 inch subs in a sealed box would still slam the lows. Everything these days goes hard at 35hz and drops off drastically below 35hz. I got the kicker CompR box and had it hooked to my jbl 1001ez and lows were non existent. It punched hard and had hard bass at 30-34hz but fell on its face below that. I was disappointed. Back in 2003 I had two cvr 12's and even in 2007 I had a single cvr 12 in a sealed hatchback box that was about 1cubic foot hooked to an old phoenix gold xs2150 (75x2) and it really slammed the lows but still was accurate. Still cant seem to get the sound I used to get with old school audio. Seems like these class d amps wont go low either. At least not the mainstream ones.

Pop bottoms off replace capacitors with new quality caps like nichicon again same as whats in them and tgey will play crystal clear another 20 years. When he said holy grail it is a literal statement. Those amps were dependent upon the model number 850 to 1600 dollars in 1994 when they came out. They were designed by the elite legend audiophile engineer Nelson pass who was one of the few to have the knowledge and experience capable of designing class ab amplifiers to produce 500 watts plus back then. Pass also engineered the elite class of adcom pro amplifiers like the gfa5500. 200 watts rms per channel for pa. Unreal powerhouse. Back then 1994 proor and after unless you had an amplifier such as these or Phoenix gold m class such as m44 you would have subwoofers made that could not be pushed. Amplifiers just were not evolved enough yet. Those amps power ratings may sound small in this age but they produced their power exceptionally well. Todays people are hung up on mass power of class d but have no clue how class ab ran circles around class d in terms of sound quality. There are very few class ab amps today that can stand within a mile of sound quality those would still play at today at their age. These amps will out perform any amplifier of today thas a class d in sound quality of the same power rating. Incredible score for sure. I would have not had a problem paying 1500 in a heartbeat for that equipment today.

[@Aint1S]

For that car, the box was perfect. To much airspace in your Cherokee. The last system I built was for two 12" kickers that was built behind the seat of my Wrangler rock crawler with 2 punch amps from the late 90's when amps weren't all class D, so current trash. I used the seat to prevent the collision from the front wave and rear wave from the speaker as well as figured the volume of the Jeep itself to counter the box. It was a rolling port. Box and vehicle is way more important than most people give it credit. It was the most time consuming box I've ever built because it had to handle crawling around on 40's with an 8" lift. Two weeks after I finished that system, I was hit by an illegal and the box stayed in place after 4 tire to tire rolls. 17k in lift, axles, transfer case, lockers, ring and pinions all gone because ALLSTATE will only pay half the value of the vehicle. Offered me 7k in place of my 14k and I was never able to recover my gear! Lost it all to those greedy bastards! One 400 to 500 watt amp(forgot my original models number, but I matched it with a nice one from eBay if you want to know the specific model) was was pushing a constant 853 and the other was going at 832, both bridged. I went through to sets of 12's because I asked the shop owner, you think these drivers will take these amps. He assured me, if they don't... Return them. He was a good guy and swapped my 12's everytime. Those amps were notoriously strong, too strong because they would eat a driver that wasn't beyond twice the power RMS. The punch line that looked like a */M\* with the end caps was the one right before your square block punch. Those were still good, but quality control got to them following the square blocks and then they overrated the output. Those were the days back then and everyone was bumpin' something! Great video down memory lane bro!

If I were hell-bent on raising those dust caps back up... You can use a syringe for injecting great into CV joint rubber boots. You'll have to use an air wand to do it at low pressures of course. Do them all in the same spot and as the air blows back out, you'll get the flap to epoxy the puncture back shut. Hell, you could probably just use a big syringe from a livestock feed and supply store and do it by hand. You can always use the syringe from the supply store with a valve stem stuck in the end and glued on place so that you can manually pump it back out! That approach would leave hardly any marks at all from your recovery. Just epoxy the smaller flap shut afterwards and you're good to go! It may still show a folded mark from where they were pushed down. Good luck!

Those soundstream amps are great but IIRC some models in that era had a lot of reliability issues. Mostly Rubicon. I had soundstream exact components and 10" subs, two drivers failed repaired under warranty. Wanted a da vinci bad until my local dealer told me the several he had sold had failed and repaired at least once each.

[@Assimilator702]

The reliability issues were with the Reference S series. The issue was with the High Power/High Current auto switching. The original Reference series has a switch on the bottom of the amp but the marketing department demanded an auto switch feature on the S series Reference amps. The issues were addressed for the Reference Sx series. Of course due to the damaged reputation of Soundstream, any faulty amps were associated with the original S series problems which of course WERE addressed. Rubicon amps were and still are rock solid amps. The failure rate of the Rubicon’s was no greater than any reliable amplifier line of the time. I have a closet full of MINT boxed Rubicon’s that still operate 100%.

[@Michael-lu6oz]

The rubicons are nowhere near the same class as the mc class. They shared the same chassis and heatsink but there is no comparison on performance or quality between the two models. Rubicon was almost a retro failure. People bought them expecting the same sound and capabilities quality and nope. Also rubicon was not engineered by nelson pass like the mc models were.

[@batvette]

@@Michael-lu6oz thats kinda the way I recall it. There may be some truth to the other users claims I just remember in the rec.audio.car usenet forums a lot of complaints around the time Rubicon was released. I had thought of replacing an a/d/s p840 with a reference 5 channel at the time. Kept the a/d/s and competed in IASCA with it though it repeatedly saw the fuseholder melt itself loose from the board. Still worked for 10 more years and the flexibility of that amp is unmatched even today. I had it set up so all controls were reachable from the drivers seat. It ran my front set up (soundstream 6.5s, image dynamics HLCDs, soundstream tweeters) and I had 3 more amps for 3 subs.

Not an issue!! Thank you for the info! Could you drop a few names and models? I’d love to learn something!!

@@KBMOTORSchannel I have so much bro. Probably enough to open a small store. A bunch of mint, in the boxes Phoenix Gold. Bunch of mint RF amps. Brand new in the box old school JL 15’s, super rare W4’s and a bunch of first gen W0 subs. Killer MA Audio competition amps. Subs and components up the wazoo. Got a legendary Kicker collection. Couple of cool things off hand. I’m good friends with the gang down at Kicker. I have all of the prototype L7’s. 2 of them are the only SVC L7’s in existence. Also have a L7 Solo X 18” prototype. Only 2 made. One, (A) in Kickers Museum and the other one (B) I’m looking at right now in my living room. Also have the very first prototype DX700 ever made. I could go on and on. I’m a part of a big audio community. Every Tuesday 8:30pm east coast time we’re in the chats on Kickers live Unmasked show. And through the week we’re on other live shows. We also have a big car audio discord you can join. We have a lot of big car audio KZbinrs in our community like Big D Wiz, HiFi Vega, Steve Meads DIY Audio, that pop in to shoot the shit with us. You should watch the show tomorrow night. You’ll love it.

No clue why you have ANY dislikes, your channel is like food to my eyes. I've literally copied you in buying subs and amps from marketplace and they sale no matter what. Please make more vids showing money-making projects or projects period, it's fun being young and inspired to make money while most of my generation is stuck inside on their phones.

Trenton Pasley That’s awesome man. You’ll do just fine with that mentality, my son is 15 he bought some small car audio and sold two things and made $80 in one day. Lol. That’s huge to a kid! Keep grinding man. Good work

Blow through the pole vent on the bottom and you can push them back out

Be VERY careful with older subs.especially ones that are worth anything. The surrounds could be rotten to hell.

[@yourdaddy5630]

Sweet score bro 🤤thanks for the video . Try some tape to pull out those dust caps . Pull out while pushing back in on the high spots. If tape doesn’t work use glue stick. Old school for the win 🎉

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

I used tape and shop vac!! Lol. Thanks!

[@yourdaddy5630]

👍🏽😎👍🏽

[@yourdaddy5630]

Some people don’t know that you get a better sound quality when you run a higher Ohm load to your amplifier. Also the system will run cooler. If your amp is big enough you can still make all the power the speakers can handle this way 👍🏽😎👍🏽. damn that would really suck to be those mice .can you imagine falling down in a hole and see others of your same species laying around all around you 😱

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

Lmfao!! I thought the same thing!! No way out!! lol.

I just got one of those amps a couple months ago for free like new condition. Did i do good? 😁 Good thing you didn't hook it up with all that inside the box!!!

Haha. 10yr old mous prefixes flying out the ports. Lol. Bro you scored huge!! I sold the 405 for $410 after shipping and the subs for $180 and I still have the 1000s. I love that thing. I thought about doing a giveaway at 10k subs with it. If I ever get there lmao

Nice.not bad.i havent look mine up yet to see what its worth.its reference 700sx..so probably little less than what you got out of yours

Theres a trick to undenting the dust caps since it's so common. Theres videos on it all over yt

If the subs are all identical then just switch them so the ones that were converted are now showing the face and the ones with the dented dust caps are Now inverted

Omfg those amps love those.

[@TheConnectCompetitionSystems]

Hifonics made weak subs. Their amps were known for being powerhouses, but their speakers couldn't compete against companies like JL Audio, Kicker, and Fosgate. I don't mean this as an insult, but I'm guessing you're not that familiar car audio.

[@randyledford6496]

So basically your assuming the guy doesn't know what he's talking about and you do.. basically

[@TheConnectCompetitionSystems]

As I said, I didn't mean it as an insult, I was asking a question. But, thank you for jumping in and saving the day.

[@jacksonduval4995]

You can get these amps for around $100 to $200

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

Do a little research. Search the model numbers. There are tons of blue sound stream amps floating around. It’s the model number that means the most. I ended up selling all that stuff individually for $1500 to people in rare old-school audio groups on Facebook. These are the guys that know everything all of the ins and outs on old-school audio they paid it so it had to be worth something.

[@jacksonduval4995]

@KBMOTORSchannel I know all about them lol. I pick 2 of these up from a pawnshop for around $90 a piece a month or so ago. I also have 3 rare Ground zero prototype subs that I got for $40 each because the dude thought they were boston acoustic g2 😂
