I have been running stetsom for about a year now. HL800.4 and the DB3000 2ohm Running 3 CT sound Stratos All Sealed enclosure Broke my sunroof from roof flex Want to add one more 12 in strato to get it closer to the 2ohm load Currently running at 2.66 ohm Plenty of clean power and low bass

There’s a reason Stetsom is the only amp I run, price being the major reason. Even the EX1200EQ is mental for a little amp. I only wish they did US sponsorships

I always feel bent over when I buy a 2 ohm Stetsom BC the 1 ohm version always does a lot better, this 1 ohm can draw over 40 ampere difference at 12.6v, over 12.5% more current. This Bass version has a sweet pre amp section I must say, would be good if they said what their slopes are, hopefully 24dB. I've got an 8k coming this week, I feel like I may have fkd up lol

Nah it won't, I ran 8vrms in to my Vulcan fine for a week. It exploded because I burped it at full tilt, 8kw at 60hz, just for a second to measure the current (so I could determine what fuses to install) while the engine was off. I had 2 Optima Blue D31M 900CCA batteries and a 100A power supply running but I reckon the voltage must have sagged a shit ton and caused excess current on the psu side of the amp, which is exactly why you always want to buy an amp with over current protection! this cheap ass crap does not! I was measuring the voltage and current but I didnt see it fall that far, my meters probably too slow to catch it. I should have had a 1000F cap at the very least. 1000 Farad, 1000 ampere, 1 volt of drop after 1 second.

In 1994 the most powerful mono amp of this size is a 250 watts 2 ohm stable with class AB topography. In the late 90s/early 2000s you get could get a class D amp of this size that is rated at 500 watts. The latest class D mono amp of similar size for an SQ application is still only 500 to 600 watts but that’s due to more robust circuitry.
