Product Research

Features

Mono Amp: The SoundStream RS1.8000D is a single channel subwoofer amp. The low pass crossover is always engaged, so the amp does not offer full-range output.

Power Output:

  • 4Ω: 1,200 watts RMS x 1-channel
  • 2Ω: 1,700 watts RMS x 1-channel
  • 1Ω: 3,000 watts RMS x 1-channel

Wired Remote: A wired remote level control is included. The remote has integrated flanges and screws are included to mount the unit under the dash. It includes a 19' cable to connect to the amplifier.

Remote Dimensions:

  • Width: 1⅝" wide (2⅝" including the mounting flanges)
  • Height: ¾"
  • Depth: 1½" (1⅞" including the knob and cable)

Controls:

  • Level Control (Gain): rotary dial labeled min/max; adjustable from 0.2 Volts to 8.0 Volts
  • Crossover: the low pass and subsonic crossovers are always engaged (they cannot be bypassed); the slope of both is 12 dB/octave:
    • Low Pass: rotary dial; 40-150 Hz
    • Subsonic (High Pass): rotary dial; 10-50 Hz
  • Phase: 2-position switch; 0° and 180°

Connections:

  • Power Input: The power and ground connections are set screw terminals; they will accept up to 1/0-gauge wire.
  • Remote Turn-On: The remote turn-on connection is a set screw terminal; it will accept up to 8-gauge wire.
  • Speaker Output: The speaker output set-screw terminals will accept up to 8-gauge wire. There are two pair of outputs internally wired in parallel, making it easy to connect two subwoofers.
    • Note: All the set screw terminals are tightened/loosened with a Phillips head screw driver (not included)
  • Line Input: The amplifier has one pair of RCA input jacks.
  • Line Level Output: The amplifier also has a pair of RCA line level outputs for feeding another amplifier; it is the same signal that is input through the RCA line inputs. The amplifier's crossovers and gain controls have no effect on the line level output signal.
  • Remote: The wired remote cable plugs into the RJ-25 jack (phone type) on the amp.
  • Fuses: The amp has two 80-amp MAXI fuses.

Customer Q&A

6 questions already asked

Q
will this power 2 Rockford Fosgate P3D2-12?
[ Eryk  Mar 27, 2023 ]
1 answer
A
This would exceed the RMS ratings of your dual sub setup at 2-ohms, Eryk. The Soundstream Reserve RS 1.8000D delivers 1700-watts RMS at 2-ohms, the dual Rockford Fosgate subwoofers can handle around 1200-watts RMS as a pair. The Soundstream can be used but would absolutely need to be setup properly to make sure you did not damage your subwoofers. A safer alternative would be using the Kicker 46CXA1200.1T in the link below, this amp delivers exactly 1200-watts at 2-ohms! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20646CX12T/Kicker-46CXA1200-1T.html

Q
I have 2 power Acoustic 12s 1200rms a piece would this amp work for that or should I keep searching?
[ CHANCE  Oct 19, 2021 ]
3 answers
A
Yes it would, but to be honest I've had trouble with mine lately and I'm not sure why
[ MATTHEW  Oct 20, 2021 ]
A
It will be fine to push those subs
[ ERIK  Oct 19, 2021 ]
A
I'm using it on a Kicker 15 inch Q L7 and it's worked really well so far.
[ CLIFTON  Oct 19, 2021 ]
Q
Too much for, four alpine s-w12D4â??s?
[ Raymond  Sep 18, 2021 ]

A
Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your subs I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.
[ KENNETH  Sep 20, 2021 ]  Staff
Q
Will this give enough power to 2 JL Audio 12W3v3-4 12" subs?
[ Jeremy  Jun 16, 2021 ]
1 answer
A
This amp outputs more power than two of the JL Audio subwoofers should get and we do not recommend using them together. Ideally, the amp should output no more than 1000 watts RMS at 2 ohms. We have advisors that can be reached by calling 1-800-324-9695 who can discuss your goals and give a personal recommendation on an amp to use with the subwoofers
[ JASON  Jun 29, 2021 ]  Staff
Q
I have 2 (6-8) 25 watt, 4 (6-8) 350 watt and 1 (c12) 300 watt kicker subwoofer. Can this amp run all of that?
[ RANDY  May 21, 2021 ]
3 answers
A
It has the power, but this amp is meant more for subwoofers i believe. You would only be able to push lows to the door speakers since that's what you would be pushing to your subwoofer. It is a great amp though. I have it and a 1000 watt door speaker amp in my Ram. It's nuts, like crazy loud. Good luck
[ MATTHEW  Jul 25, 2021 ]
A
No because it's one channel mono amp..
[ CHEO  Jul 25, 2021 ]
A
It prolly would run all that just fine but I would think you would need a multichannel amp instead of a mono block.
