About the Soundstream Reserve RS2.1200
An amp with the power you want
An amp with the power you want
Soundstream designed their Reserve Series RS2.1200 2-channel amplifier to supply your speakers or subs with clean power, and give you the ability to tune the amplified sound to match each driver. The RS2.1200 can send each of a pair of speakers 150 watts RMS, for some very loud rockin'. Or, you can power a subwoofer with up to 440 watts RMS from bridged channels.
Tuning the sound
Tuning features include variable high-pass and low-pass filters to match the sound to your speakers and subs, along with a selectable bass boost to add some punch. The RS2.1200 employs AB amp technology, in order to achieve the highest fidelity for your full-range system.
Soundstream Reserve
Soundstream knows that Crutchfield offers free lifetime tech support for the gear we sell — and that's one of the reasons why we can offer you their Reserve line of powerful car amplifiers.
