When you’re considering getting a new set of subs, you’ll likely be wondering, “I have a Soundstream, what subs should I get?” The following article will go over the various factors that you should consider, including placement, power rating, and wiring. We’ll also cover how to install subwoofers. Here’s a basic guide for those of you who aren’t as familiar with the process.
Performance
If you are interested in a pair of subwoofers but are worried about the performance of the manufacturer’s subwoofers, you may want to look elsewhere. The pca line of subwoofers can take a beating, but Soundstream subs are not built to be as robust. Unfortunately, the company has stopped manufacturing these subwoofers and they are being liquidated. However, if you’re considering a pair of Soundstream subwoofers, you’ll want to make sure they are capable of delivering the bass output you expect.
Power ratings
Soundstream subwoofers have two main power ratings. The peak power rating and the continuous power rating are the most important. The peak rating tells you how much power the subwoofer can handle during a short burst. The continuous power rating tells you how much power it can handle for longer periods of time. Peak power is good for short helicopter crashes but it is not a good idea to drive the sub continuously at peak power.
The power rating of the subwoofers varies depending on their impedances. The DVC four-ohm subwoofers have an impedance of 4 ohms. The target RMS rating is 600 watts. When wiring two subwoofers, you will need a power amplifier with this output. For example, two DVC four-ohm subwoofers need a maximum power of 600 watts RMS.
Wiring
If you are looking for the right speaker wires, you’ve come to the right place. Subwoofers have two main types of wiring: single voice coil and dual voice coil. While the latter is more popular, single-coil models have limited wiring options. This guide will walk you through both types. Once you’ve figured out which kind of wire you need, you can begin wiring your subwoofers.
