Stetsom 7KD

[TribeamConnek 0]

Has anybody heard of the Stetsom 7KD being used for daily used for daily use. How much power is it really capable of?

I don't know to much about it, but mainly that its a big time SPL amp. They come in....12V and 16V options I believe and the older ones you could mod pretty heavy. I guess the newer models aren't that bad off and don't need to be moded that badly and can crank out maybe 9kW @ 18V's. They're pretty beefy amps that can run some low low ohms. They're cheap power.

Are you looking at getting one? Other amps up in that range I think i've seen used are the cactus sounds, atomic amps, Kicker is supposed to have its amp coming out who knows when, and the IA 40.1's.

I was looking for something that could put out 4500-5000 rms @ 2 ohms and still be used as a daily. I don't plan at running it at full tilt everday but I would like the option of showing off a little on weekends or competitions.

2 AQ2200ds strapped together is a LOT cheaper than that amp. You can get this package for way under $1,000.

Or... you could wait for the 3500ds to be released. I've been told that they are rated to do 3,500w @12.0v at 1 ohm so strap them together to get 7,000w @2ohms and that package is right around $1,500.

If you're looking to get some power @ 2 ohms then I'd definetely agree with shizzon. The stetsom would be plenty to much overkill and 2 ohms is a perfect amount for strapping some amps. I think the stetsom is maybe around....1500 dollars, where as the AQ's would be a good deal with the right amount of power for a cheaper deal.

How many subs are you running?? Or what are you trying to run?

AQ's? Who are they made by? The stetsom site says the amps draws 480 amps. I am trying to stay 500amps or beneath that if I can help it. Maybe I will just go with two of the Orion HCCA-D5000 amps.

You could always contact dB-r about a pair of refurb'd sundown saz-3000d's. If he has a pair.

They draw more than 480 amps at full output.

i was going to agree that the stetsom is not a daily amp, as for the fact you want under 480 amp draw not sure what else you could look at either way it wount be cheap. Cactus sounds 7kw..maybe?..

I=W/E is a basic math formula

I is current, W is Watt's and E is voltage

I=7000/12

I=583.333333

Minimum Current Draw in a 100% efficient system for 7000 watts @ 1 ohm is 583 amperes. If my math is correct.

[shizzzon 461]

AQ= audioque

The 4,500w combo strapped is rated to pull at full tilt - 400A

There is no info yet on the 3500d in terms of pull but if i had to guess, because it should do 3500 at 12v, you would probably be lookin at around 400A pull for 1 amp @12v or 350A from 1 amp at 14v.

So, the 2200ds strapped would be your best unless you wanna do some quick burps, then power draw is irrelevant as long as your car is off.

The Orion pull 250 amps. I will do 500 amps or less. I am planning on two 300 amps alts. I wanna leave another 500 watts for my mids. The rest will be for the car. 3 kinetik HC2000 batteries 1 HC1400 for starting and 1 HC600 in place of a cap.

To bad nothing is 100% efficient.

you're gonna have dual 300A alts?

Well hell, let's say that they could only disperse 250A per alt, that's 500A worth of charging current.

For music, you could run around 9-10,000w worth of rated power because after rise, you should be, on average, pullin around 500A of current.

I'm goin back to 2 3500ds strapped!

Dual 300A alts is perfect to keep these babies goin.

I'd suggest for long term music sake to have 3 HC2400s rather than the 2000s if goin with Kinetik but other than at, wang that install!

Thanks for the help. We don't really have competitions where I live. This is pretty much my source for getting help.

[shizzzon 461]

The information i gave is not for competition.

With that being said what do you think I would be able to get away with using one 300 amp alt if for some strange reason I am not able to fit dual alts.

I am planning on running three IA DP18's. I know its allowable to run 1500-2000 rms. Sorry I missed it. I was trying to do too many things at once.

[shizzzon 461]

1 300A alt with all those batts should let u run between 4k-5k amp fine.

I went to my first comp. this past weekend to see what it was like and because the store that sells Stetsom amps had the comp. To my surprise there were a lot of those amps being used. The guy said the sell a lot for daily use. One guy had the amp in there with the baby seat in the truck. He scored 154db. A lot of other guys told me to go with two of the sundown 3000's. What would be the best way to run three IA DP18's. They are 4ohm DVC.
