6500D vs. 2K6D

[k_schutte 0]

Have a guy that wants to trade me a pair of modified Stetsom 2K6D's for my pair of SoundStream 6500D's. the 2K6D's are modded and he has run them down to almost .25ohm before. He says at nationals last year, he strapped them and ran them on a 1.4DVC subwoofer and got over 9Kw out of the pair...? I hear they are pretty under rated but I have no personal experience, I know the 6500D clamped just over 4200 @ 1ohm on 13.8v~...

EDIT: These are the older Stetsoms, not the newer "Vulcan" ones...

what are your thoughts?

3 different forums and not a single reply on any of them... I know SOMEONE has to have some experience with Stetsom...

Ask Thorshammer(membor on this site), since he is the only person off the top of my head who has used the Stetsom line of amps.

I wouldn't want those amps.

if they r so good why would he want to trade you? I've seen alot of modded amps go up in smoke, just food for thought...

There's no reason for him to want to trade if his are better. Just keep your amps.

How are your amps treating you, what is wrong with your amps, what are your goals? Answer these questions and then we can answer your question?

nothign wrong with my amps... as for goals, IDK, I just bought an Astro and was hoping for a 155+ non-wall. It isn't a straight trade, It would be me giving him 6500D's, a DB1100D, 4/0 wire and a ford 250A alt for a pair of 2K6D's, A pair of APX15's, a pair of PWD254's and a 7" flip out screen... The onyl reason I was considering the trade is because at the moment I do not have a sub stage for the van. I was/am considering a pair of Adassa 18"s I found pretty damn cheap but everyone is kind of against those as recones would be all but impossible ot get from what I am told.

If I keep the 6500D's and run a pair of Adassa 18"s in an ideal enclosure would my goal be reachable? I could run both amps to a single APXX18 otherwise, I am told power is more important then cone area when it comes to SPL but I am not sure where that line is drawn... I mean the Adassa's have a 4" coil rather than the 3" of the APXX but from what I understand they also made a 4" coil APXX so may be that would work for a recone if/when they go...?
