soundstream components and subs?

so im thinking of getting the 6" van gogh componets and 2 12" trantula's does anybody know if soundstream is a good buy? the components are around $130 a pair and the subs are $300 for both, think its worth it?

Their amps used to be pretty decent but have been going downhill. I've never heard anything about the speakers, I can't imagine them being all that spectacular if no one uses them or talks about them. But I guess I've never heard anything bad either....;)

the van gohg componets accually won some kind of award for sound or inovation or something. and yeah it doesnt seem like people say much of them but thats kinda why i want them. im not going with their amp however im going mono hifonic brutis 1800 for that, should be plenty.
