Owners1 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well I think it's time to upgrade my setup and I am a bit confused over 3 different amps here. I am not all crazy for just these three so suggestions would help a lot. So far I have come up with: 2 Atomic 5000.1 amps 1 SounDigital 8000.1 amp 4 RD 3250 amps (I would buy 2 now, and 2 later) I'd like to keep the price around $1500 give or take, I don't care how small the amp is, if its large, no more than 26" long *Notes* I already have an Atomic 5000.1 so buying another would be slightly easier If SounDigital is anything like Stetsom, I want nothing to do with it. (a lot of people keep comparing the two) Quote Hummer H2 ( Crossfire XS V2 15's (4) Crescendo Audio BC 5500s (16) Crescendo 6.5's, (16) Crescendo Tweeters, (4) Beyma 8" Midrange http://www.youtube.com/Owners1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewer_brewer Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 yeah. ^^^i like stetsom. anyways. i would just buy another atomic 5k if i were you. if you like the atomic now it will only get better with another one.

EricR Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 i think the reason people compare the 2 is they are both made overseas and both have a very small footprint for how much power they put out. i've also heard that stesoms CS isn't the best but i don't know about SD. IMO i would just get another atomic since you already have one. the new RD 3250's have the exact same board as the audiopipes... Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Owners1 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 My friend had a Stetsom and it pretty much sucked. I am not going for SPL at all, just musical. I will more than likely get another Atomic 5000.1 if I can find it at a decent price Quote Hummer H2 ( Crossfire XS V2 15's (4) Crescendo Audio BC 5500s (16) Crescendo 6.5's, (16) Crescendo Tweeters, (4) Beyma 8" Midrange http://www.youtube.com/Owners1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foot print, price, and power is unmatched I think Quote My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
