Soundstream T5-152 – 15" Tarantula Series Subwoofer (Dual 2 Ohm)
When serious bass is the mission, the Soundstream T5-152 answers the call like a true legend reborn. As part of the iconic Tarantula Series, this 15-inch competition-grade subwoofer blends power, precision, and heritage into one devastating package. Whether you’re building a high SPL sound system or upgrading your custom install, this beast is designed to flex muscle and deliver deep, accurate low-end frequencies with total authority.
Taking direct inspiration from Soundstream loyalists and audio competitors, the T5-152 incorporates classic DNA—like the infamous black-on-black Spider logo, and upgrades it with modern performance enhancements. We're talking triple-stacked magnets, 3" 4-layer BASV voice coil, oversaturated top plate and t-yoke, and a Spruce pulp composite cone for tight, distortion-free bass. That means you don’t just hear the boom—you feel it in your chest.

T5-152 Key Specifications
Built Like a Beast, Engineered to Dominate
The T5-152 isn’t just a loud subwoofer—it’s a precision-engineered sound weapon. Its oversized 3-inch voice coil is made from high-temperature BASV material to withstand extended, high-output sessions without fatigue. The oversized 12mm top plate and vented T-yoke ensure optimal thermal control, reducing the risk of heat damage during high SPL bursts.
What really sets this 15-inch dual voice coil subwoofer apart is its dense, non-pressed pulp cone, backed by woven fiberglass stranding and soaked in epoxy. That combo gives you killer stiffness, lower distortion, and that signature tight “punch” Soundstream is famous for.
Sound Quality Meets Raw Power
With an RMS rating of 1500 watts, and peak handling up to 3000 watts, the T5-152 delivers bass that shakes windows, but doesn’t lose detail. It’s tuned for versatility, so whether you’re into hip-hop, EDM, rock, or trap, this sub can deliver tight, fast bass lines or sustain earth-rumbling lows depending on your enclosure.
- Sealed Enclosure? Expect clean, responsive bass with tighter control.
- Ported Enclosure? Get more output and deeper resonance for that boomy, club-like experience.
Either way, you get bass you can tune to taste, with a sub that handles the job and more.
Flexible Impedance for System Growth
The dual 2-ohm voice coil design gives you multiple wiring options to get the most out of your amp setup. Whether you’re wiring for 1 ohm, 4 ohm, or planning on running multiple subs, the T5-152 plays nice with a wide range of amps and future upgrades.

Build Quality That Doesn’t Quit
The Tarantula T5 series has a legacy for a reason. Every material on this subwoofer is selected for endurance:
- Die-cast aluminum basket holds everything together, even under extreme pressure.
- Double-stitched high-roll foam surround extends excursion and keeps things airtight.
- Triple-stacked magnets create a strong magnetic field for powerful excursion control.
- Vented pole piece and backplate help manage heat during long play sessions.
This is the kind of subwoofer you build your car audio system around—tough enough for daily drivers, brutal enough for weekend comps.
