Team_DC-Derrick Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Stetsom uses a solid "buss bar" inside the amp. I have not had the opportunity to see the guts of a stetsom amp, I have seen several amps that use a combination of wire and bar. I would think it would be safer to use a bar in high current and high heat areas. Of course, I dont think my Audiopipe would have had a melt down if the wire had not been bundled together, of course I could be wrong. It probably wouldnt have melted if I hadnt been working it so hard with minimal air flow as well. I am a bit concerned about the amp I just bought. The new amp is a much better design vs the AP3000 and also puts out alot more power. W/O redesigning my current system layout, the new amp will have minimal airflow ass well. Too bad it wasnt designed with cooling fans. if you are talking about the audiopipe 3000 you do know its different than the amps in this thread? its a 2 channel amp... its 2 1500s strapped internally ... the stetsom does indeed have a solid bar The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

TeamHT Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 actually im pretty sure its the opposite and solid bar is more conductive. Of course I am not an eletrical engineer and may not know WTH I am talkinga about. Wonder where the janitor....err...I mean professor on all sciences is when you need him...

RobertMcDonald Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Off topic question. I am in the process of rewiring my subs to achieve a 1.3 ohm load as in the following picture. The picture shows that I would have two wires in the same terminal, one input and one ouput leading to the second and third sub. Can I use the other set of terminals for output instead of using the same ones? I think the answer is yes, but I am not sure if it woud effect phase.

This has no relation to this one. If you're asking what I think, the answer is no. Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

RobertMcDonald Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The wires in the AP actually melted right where the small red and grey wires were tied to the large red wire. The wire shielding melted and caused all of them to "weld" together. Baisically fried the entire right side board. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
