Soundstream Amplifiers for Cars and Marine Vessels

Diverse Amplifier Series for Every Build

Soundstream offers a wide range of amplifier series tailored for different needs. The Tarantula XP series delivers massive output for SPL builds, while the Picasso Nano and Rubicon Nano series provide compact solutions with serious power—like the PN1-3000DX, offering 800W RMS at 1 ohm bridged. The Rubicon Nano line includes models like the RN1-5000D, which packs high performance and clean output for pros or enthusiasts looking to elevate OEM or custom systems.

Class D Technology for Efficiency

Many Soundstream amplifiers utilize Class D topology, offering over 90% efficiency while minimizing heat and current draw. The Picasso Nano series, including models like PN4-1000D and PN5-3000DX, provides full-range Class D power in a compact chassis, ideal for space-limited installs. Meanwhile, models in the Tarantula XP line offer robust Class D monoblocks like the TXP1-6000D, capable of 6,000W max power, perfect for high-demand subwoofer setups with minimal power waste.

Advanced Tuning Features

Soundstream amps offer pro-level tuning tools to dial in your system. Models like the BXT1-5000D and the RN1-3500D have gain control, low pass filter, subsonic filter, and bass boost control, letting you customize your soundstage and protect your subs from distortion, especially when pushing your system to its peak performance.

Built-In Protection and Smart Power Design

Durability is key in amplifier design, and Soundstream amps feature multiple protection circuits to ensure system safety. Models like the RN1-5000D and PN1-4000DX offer 4-way protection: thermal, overload, short-circuit, and reverse polarity. Many also use full MOSFET DC-DC power supplies and double-sided PCB construction for heat resistance and signal integrity. These smart design choices make Soundstream amps reliable for daily driving, competition, or high-end custom installations that demand consistent, clean power.

FAQs: Car and Marine Amplifiers


Are Soundstream amplifiers Class D or Class A/B?

Most Soundstream amplifiers, including the Tarantula XP, Stealth, and Picasso Nano series, use advanced Class D technology. This provides high efficiency, lower heat, and compact size, which is ideal for modern car audio systems.

Can I use Soundstream amplifiers with factory stereos?

Yes. Many models feature high-level inputs with signal sensing, so they work with factory head units that don’t have RCA outputs—perfect for upgrading without replacing your stereo.

How much power do Soundstream amplifiers output?

Soundstream amps range widely. For example, the TXP1-6000D delivers 2,300W x 1 RMS at 1 ohm, while the compact PN4-1000D provides 140W x 4 RMS at 4 ohms. Always match amplifier RMS output to your speakers or subs.

Do Soundstream amps include protection circuits?

Yes. Most models include thermal, overload, short-circuit, and reverse-polarity protection to safeguard both the amplifier and your vehicle’s electrical system, even under heavy use.

Which amplifier should I choose for a 5-speaker setup?

For a full system with front, rear, and subwoofer, a 5-channel amp like the PN5-3000DX is a great all-in-one option. It powers all components while saving space and simplifying installation.
