If I Wanted To Upgrade Amps.. (for 25k+ Watts)

Stetsom amps arent very efficient.

I wouldnt work with them.

Alotta mixed opinions. Who actually owns multiple 5kw+ amps and run them (maybe not at like .3 but hard) for burps.. and have had success with them. Scuccess = not blowing up. 16v.

Have you ever used a Stetsom amp? http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif

No, i have not owned a Stetsom amp. I was going to do a trade for one until I did some research and talked with a friend about them.

This is taken directly from the source...

"You'd be taking a step back, do NOT get one of those amps...they put out a lot of power but in all seriousness at 15% distortion...

The way they do it is a very cheap and effective way to get a lot of power, the problem is the design suffers from reliability standpoint, cone control and everything else suffers greatly.."

They also have 16v versions as well right? Even if they put out 8k each i'd be happy with what. 32,000! Thats a big number.. prolly have 10k tied up in amps before its all over though.. plus another gazillion dollars in kinetiks. Ive been reading alot about stetsoms on these forums, keep seeing that name. I should probly start saving once I get my white honda paid off cause as soon as I blow an MA or two.. I'll get into something else if they are habit forming.. heh.

He just so happens to be Nick from Fi.

I would imagine that one of the guys who helps develop the subwoofers would know a thing or two about some of the amps on the market.

And this was talking about the 7KD 16v. which is the one for daily with the car on if im not mistaken.

[bhsdriller]

Like i said earlier in the thread. If you could fine some IA 40.1's they will do 4400-5000 watts at .5

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=17159

and that's coming from Nick who i believe is one of the owners of Incriminator Audio

and that's at 14.4volts, i'm sure they'd make some serious power at 16 volts

have YOU ever owned a Stetsom amp?

i havent but i know someone who has used them and YES they are VERY innefficient. LOTS of current draw for the ammount of power produced.

your looking like a "know it all" noob again. read specs all you want but first hand experience and knowing someone who actually used them amps and talking to them directly...its a lot more reliable source.
