Needfreestuff.....You are right. The bass impact is addicting. Some of the notes felt like I was punched in the stomach. To be honest, that system had nice sound staging, pinpoint imaging and accuracy and it made me want to drive for hours on end. One more song always turned into playing the entire disc and so on.
It wasn't a boom and sizzle sound. It sounded like an excellent high end system. The premium sound system in my 09 Civic SI is supposed to be Hondas best for the car. It's a joke. a 6 inch midbass driver is not a subwoofer but I guess Honda thinks it is. If it weren't for the built in navigation, I would have ditched the system and had a shop install something decent.
Lowrider57.....Yes, it was terrible at the time. To this day, if I get up during the night, I always look out the window to make sure the cars are in the driveway. It really has scarred me for life. Worst part was I only had liability insurance on the car so I got nothing from insurance. I sold the car for 300 to a 17 year old that went to the Voc/Tech school. His class was going to rebuild it as their project. I was very happy to help him out.
I also wanted to mention that the Soundstream amps were considered to be one of the top high end brands at that time, and the amps certainly weren't a class D design.
