    Soundstream does not refurbish amps - so it's impossible to buy refurbished Sounstream. So is Pioneer and many others - you can buy refurbished products only if the manufacturer refurbish them

    Car Audio Factory Outlet makes claims that he can't proove - take it easy, guys - if you don't like the competion that's too bad for u

    Michael who is an EBAY SELLER... why dont you tell them that the model that you get does not have any backing from PIONEER

    Also that all the serial numbers are removed as well as the Warranty CARD!!!

    Also how would you know if you are not a AUTHORISED DEALER ---

    I see that you have set up a new user on the FORUM after being KICKED OFF!!!!

    All from a GUY that has not a CLUE how to HOOK anything UP!!!! -- gets on here and other forums to find out how to hook a sub to an amp..... what an IDIOT!!!!.... sells them on EBAY and HAS NO IDEA!!!!!

    ANOTHER REASON not to BUY ON EBAY!!

    Well I bought 2 soundstream amps off ebay, brand new NOT refurbished, in brand new packaging. The seller is legitimate, runs a shop in the US, I have a 2 year warranty and bought it them for a fraction of the cost I would pay here. Only concern I would have is that if something did go wrong with them I would have to snd them back to the US for warranty repairs/ replacement, but I weighed up the cost even if I had to send them back- more than once, it would still be cheaper than buying from an Australian seller.

    Sure there are a lot of dodgy sellers on ebay, but if you do your homework you will find theres a lot of great sellers there too!

    Julie... Did the amps have the serial numbers on them? I've bought from legitimate US sellers too yet they still remove the serial number so that the manufacturer doesn't find out thet they're selling their products via eBay. Most manufacturers do not want their products sold on eBay unless they are selling it on there themselves, like Alpine selling their refurbished products on there.

    Mid to high end Soundstream amps are excellent. For $169 for a Soundstream 4 channel, I think they are probably fakes. Soundstream don't make cheap gear, so it is highly unlikely that their products could even be bought for cost at that price.

    Hey StoneX, yep the amps both have serial no.s, in the ad the seller specifically stated that they are NOT refurbished and warned of buying refurbished amps from other sellers.

    The problem is that the warranty is not with Pioneer Australia, you would have to send it back to the seller, s/he would then have to send it overseas to where they bought it from. A bit of a pain if anything ever did go wrong. Australian distributors will only warranty repair products they sold, as their sale price allows for repair costs.

    some times it is better to buy overseas and import.
    with some of the more obscure brands there can be large savings offered.
    most of the manstream stuff though works out more expensive when shipping and conversion rates and fees are paid.
