the 12 volt is only really used for burping with the car off!!! you need the 16 volt version

what if i found the stetsom 7k in the 16v verison then what would be best? And if i cant would the fusion 4000d or the Ia 40.1 be better

Shouldn't this be in the amplifier section?

Either way, for a reliable amplifier that will actually do its power constantly (not just for burps) you should go with the 40.1. There's a local shop around here that dropped Stetsom because a few of his customers could barely get out of the parking lot before the amplifiers went into protection. An amp that small that is supposed to put out that much power on a consistent basis is bound to have issues (with it not being a new type of amplifier like the mini's and pdx's). Not to mention that they sound like poo on music. I suppose if you like burps, then go for it. Wait...we're talking about ~5,000 watts here aren't we? Why in the hell am I talking about how good it will sound? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

IA isn't making the 40 any longer, so you'll have to find it used somewhere.

I wouldn't run 16v daily, but that's just me.

Wanna see your gauges go poof? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Just kidding. I know a lot of vehicles can have major issues with 16 volts...especially on a daily basis. Usually those are reserved for competition vehicles that aren't driven daily.

There is a freshly reboarded 40.1 on here now for $775. That is a great deal.

I think Nick has new amps coming out. . .

the 16v is just the daily version of the 12v amp for the stets.. the 12v is meant for cars off.

It is possible to run 16v daily without damage to the vehicle:fyi:

i'm still looking at where they got him saying he was going to be running 16v system at any point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

X2.

No one has explained to him yet why the 12v version wont work and why to get the 16v. Tell him to buy something he dosent understand, great thinking. The car runs at idle around 14.4v. pushing that to a 12v version will blow the power supply. The 16v version can handle up to 16v so it will take the 14+v you will be giving it. The 12v version is great when the car is sitting.

Correct me if Im wrong, thats just my understanding.

I wasn't suggesting it.Rather informing him that 16v can be ran safely in a daily vehicle
