SoundXtreme ST-5000.1 Overview and Amp Dyno

[@meade916]

glad you are having fun with the tools! It's a pleasure to watch you do what you do. Nice video (even if the amp was a total disaster) lol. Thanks for choosing SMD bro.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Steve! I have two AMM1s, a DD1, a CC1, and a IMSG. Me and my Sons also use your terminal cups, distribution blocks, and fuses blocks. I don’t mind paying for quality!

[@meade916]

@BigMerc91CMDNJ OMG how dumb can I be....watching a video sitting here with a cup of coffee half asleep still haha! Damn. Ok time to hit backspace on myself. LOL. Either way, SoundStream ain't much different. As bad as SS is now, I'm still pretty sure it would do a little more power than this one did.

[@meade916]

@@stereomojo that is awesome! I love it! Thanks a lot we all appreciate it at the shop!

[@stereomojo]

@@meade916 when a viewer first recommended this brand (and specific model number) I kept looking for it on Amazon, but couldn’t find it. I also thought I was looking for a certain model for Soundstream, before I realized it was spelled different. lol.

[@stereomojo]

@@meade916 I can’t forget the SK-1. We’ve got one of those as well. lol

[@diegoalta03]

Your amplifier testing videos are excellent, I have a lot of fun watching the videos, I am from Argentina, I would like you to try some Brazilian Taramps or Stetsom subwoofer module on the bench, they are very good for moving several speakers

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Diego! What a nice comment!! Yes, I need to try a Stetsom, and some more Taramps too. Thanks!

[@evilinside5984]

@StereoMojo- I was very surprised by the gut shot. It is very nicely done. Looks to be quality. But the power was dismal. This should be rated 350 watts to clipping, on the box, and sell for $49.95 imo. Thank you for your time, doing these videos.

[@stereomojo]

Hey Evil! It’s been a while. Yeah, I agree with you. Thanks!

[@Zachecker]

never heard of this brand but i enjoyed watching this! great video!

[@d77543020]

It's a flea market brand in my area

[@meade916]

it's flea market in every area and has been for decades. Whoever bought them out back in the early 90's completely demolished their reputation. Sad.

[@brockmarquis8511]

Hey man have you thought about checking out the Recoil amp line? They have a great 5 channel amp which puts out 1800 ways on the bass channel. Also have a very reasonably priced 2500 i think. A lot of people sleeping on them i think. Great video as always my friend.

[@stereomojo]

Thanks Brock! Yes, I’ve done a couple of them. I did the RED1200 and the DI800.4, but I haven’t done either one of the 2 you mentioned. I’d like to though. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@marcovaldovinos5009]

Great video ...Try the Domanki SDJ80.4FD

[@stereomojo]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve only been seeing that brand for the last week or so.

[@Thumper68]

5000 W max that’s wishes not watts. They were selling two 12” woofers for like 99 bucks around a year ago that actually had decent size motors I almost bought a couple just to see if they banged for super cheap bump in the trunk.

[@stereomojo]

Hmmm, I didn’t see their subs. “Wishes”, that’s funny!

[@Thumper68]

@@stereomojo yeah they have them on Amazon and eBay. Or they did if you actually search for the name you should find them

Its got that Timpano look to it.

[@dirt_ripper8734]

Good morning ☕️. We literally have 2 pawn shops here in Dublin that sell this amp new for $120 . Probably ordering them off of Amazon and reselling them at a marked up price. Surprised to see one in a video. Looks cheaply made. ( Same husband and wife team own both shops ) Not real crazy about AB mono blocks due to extreme heat output of the design and the heat we have already here in the south. 😂

[@stereomojo]

That’s interesting. Which Dublin?

[@stereomojo]

@@dirt_ripper8734 ok. Yeah, that’s right!

[@stereomojo]

You’re probably right about what they’re doing at those pawn shops

[@dirt_ripper8734]

@stereomojo I'd be willing to bet that they sell a lot of them because young people that don't know any better and buy this junk will swear that they have a 5000 watt amp as you stated . On top of it , this couple is making $30 to $40 dollars a clip on these things.

[@TheGodofSEO]

Hilarious. Should’ve called it the ST400.1

[@stereomojo]

I know right! I could get on board with that!

[@unkowntrooper1657]

they was right it was a typo on the manual lmao they accidently added a 0 haha

[@stereomojo]

lol, this one was severely overrated!

[@crazyhorseracing6130]

I just purchased the MTX Terminator TNE212D speaker box. Can you recommend a good cheap budget amp that would be suited for these two 12" speakers?? I love your videos, keep em coming!!! Thanks!!

[@stereomojo]

@@crazyhorseracing6130 thanks crazyhorse! Are those the subs/box that you can also get as a package with an MTX amp?

​@thebreakbarrelshow because the world is built on lies and up to u to fine the real it's electronic they lied bur didn't dynamic is that on burst bass note but not rated it's in the area so they technically didn't lie. like the police can lie to u to get information but u can't lie to them it will used against u so don't answer questions

[@undernature2799]

Good morning sir

[@stereomojo]

Hey, good morning!

[@undernature2799]

Kinda looks like a lanzar vibe but the rounded edges aren't fluted. Agreed, the Kenwood kac1020 1021 was 220wpc. I'm surprised you still have that harmony audio. That's a.well built amplifier. Ty sir for sharing the results

[@stereomojo]

@@undernature2799 about the harmony… yeah, most people want something bigger (what they think is bigger) than a 400 watt amp

[@undernature2799]

@@stereomojo yes sir, agreed. Helps impress the chick's lol Overpay for an illusion rather than something good

[@earnestmatlock9694]

Internally looks simular to a blaupunk's smaller sub woofer amp. Not much suprise . Should drive a single inexpensive dual 2 ohm vc sub ok, especially if built sealed small box, larger than the sub cu ft spec calls for (old trick or more bass). Polly fill helps too. Way back in the day, it would be nice 2 have something this good - early 1980's.

[@barnes29510]

Well, I knew it wasn't going to be what it says, but dang lol. I have the 2 channel AB 5000 and it's twice as long 😅. I think I'm going to see if I can get my $78 I paid for it... Because it's too physically big to run just my mids. (DS18 S65C 6.5" 2-Way Component Speaker (2) Sets 200 Watts 4-Ohm). I'll put a little more $ & go with another Cobalt Orion. Plus, I changed my mind on the 12s. I sent them back Friday and I'm going to go with 3 (maybe 4) 10s to match what the 2x 15s are doing..... I have a lot of low low. So I need that PUNCH to the head now 😂. It's been so dang hot here (coastal SC) I can't stay outside for hours at a time. Anyway, I replaced (today) the double din Pioneer CD player with a touchscreen, Bluetooth and all that jazz. The sound quality is so much better. Now to get used to downloading music @ .99. Being a GenXer I'm used to CDs lol. Another jam up video! Thank you for the dyno!! You have no idea how much you helped me figure a few things out!

[@JasonWW2000]

Man, I was thinking 400 and not even that. 😢 Not even a surface mount design printed circuit board. That's all through hole design. It's a cheap design using cheap components. It almost looks straight out of the 80's! Lol. The only thing I like about it is that light up eagle logo.

Yeah, it’s a little crazy that it didn’t do more. I agree, the eagle is pretty cool!
