About the Soundstream Reserve RS5.4500D
A full-system amp with all the power you want
A full-system amp with all the power you want
Soundstream designed their Reserve Series RS5.4500D five-channel amplifier to supply your speakers and subs with tons of power, and give you the ability to tune the amplified sound to match each driver. The RS5.4500D can send each of your front and rear speakers 100 watts RMS while supplying a subwoofer with up to 750 watts RMS. Or, you can power a couple of high performance speakers with 320 watts each from bridged front and rear amp channels, while powering a subwoofer with 750 watts RMS.
Tuning the sound
Tuning features include variable high- and low-pass filters, along with a variable bass boost, while a wired remote lets you control the bass level from your front seat. The RS5.45000D employs Class D amp technology, in order to achieve the highest power levels without straining your car's electrical system.

Customer Q&A
Q
Will this run safely with 4 gauge wire in a 5 channel setup?
A
Yes 4 gage is perfect for this amp and power rating. You could use 6 gage IF your wire length is under 10 feet. Crutchfield has a good article "Amplifier wire gauge chart".
