My cheap tweeter amp arrived today from ebay. Buy-it-now was $87 and I offered $75 and won it. It came very well packed in double bubble wrap:





I was extremely pleased when I opened it, as it was in better condition than I had expected:

Soundstream SA80
40Wrms x 2 @ 4 ohms
Gains halfway





I then proceeded to install the amp to the back of my amp rack. It was a perfect fit:





With the amp installed, I then moved on to my Seas Neo Textile tweets that also arrived today. First is a shot of my Alpine Type-X door mounting cup. It is empty as my blown Alpine tweet has already been removed. (I might sell my one good Alpine Type-X tweet now that I have no use for it.)



I was super stoked when I found the Seas tweeter was a PERFECT fit.



I then carefully soldered some pigtails on my Seas tweets:

The Seas tweet installed, its an even better match than my alpine tweeter was:

For anyone that doesn’t know STILL, the TRU amp runs my mids, and will run my subs when I get some.



THOUGHTS on 5 mins listening. I like these tweets. Of course I was coming from running mids almost full range to get by. The thing I am sure of is these tweets like to play louder than the alpine tweets with no problems. They stay clear and crisp much louder than I ever got my Alpine tweets to go. I hope I can leave my front stage alone for a few weeks at least, and hope to add a dual 10” box against my TRU amp next.

 

I'm confused...What happened to the Image sub in the custom box? And did you by the old Sound Stream because of price or were you looking for an old 80's amp?

sold that sub and box a long time ago. i installed a new sub today, i love it. I bought the soundstream for the small footprint and cheap price.

 

I like but that box looks out of place in your trunk. The custom enclosure you had before would be nice.

 

I specifically bought this type of box on purpose. Aiming teh sub to rear has always been best for me

 

changed to the dual subs

 

You do your own installs or do you take your car to a shop?

 

I do all my own stuff.

 

Are those JL W3's you're running now?

 

I'm not running anything anymore. Sold the car last week.
