Hopefully Stetsom cleaned up their amps and quit putting their amps together with superglue, duct tape, popsicle sticks and bubble gum.

Here ya go. Give it your mind is made up so this doesn't really help you. But first pic is old 2k6d (discontinued) and second pic is new 2k5d (replaced 2k6d) and 3rd pic is new 4k2d. If your not used to seeing hand made maps then this may not look all to impressive to you. But they did still use a little piece of cardboard so you got them there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well it's about time they improved them but they still use those shitty hold downs. I have a hard time paying top dollar for an amp built like that. They have a long to go before they make a reliable amp that doesn't look glued together. The traces that go to the power supply are extremely strong on one side, then weak on the other. (2k6d) I haven't messed with the newer ones yet, but I hope they fixed that as well.

wuz dat meen

It means that the frequency response (20hz-15khz -3db) is not very appealing for a good full range amplifier. If this will be used for an SPL system only, then ok.

since when do we use a dedicated monoblock amplifier for full range use???? Stetsom and SounDigital are definitely leading the way in power density and efficiency. The only Stetsom amp I ever installed (new 7k2) with more than enough electrical behind it shit the bed and became a smoke machine inside 3 days. It gets shittier when they couldn't even fix it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

We've been flogging SounDigital stuff now and have yet to break one where it wasn't clearly our fault //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

would it extend below 20hz?
just curious....

Exactly why I was not impressed. Extend below? most likely. At a reduced output? most likely.

the MINUS 3db rating from 20hz-15K is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The question you gotta ask is how far down does it play flat before it slopes off and hits that -3db mark...

The only people that smoke a 7k2d run it below rated impedance. Not saying that you did but that's been the only cause of blown 7k2d's. Out of all 7k2d's that have been sold the only ones that have somked have been run below 1ohms for music. Out of all 4k2d's been sold only one bad and that was run below 2ohms with limited electrical and not one 2k5d has went up just an rca issue.

Give it there where a hand full of problems with the older 7kd and 2k6d but that was only limited to certain amps.

Are they perfect? No. Are they good value for money? Yes I think so compared to other product out there. Stetsom uses expensive parts that why they cost a little more and same goes for Soundigital.

If anyone ever get a chance to test a 2k5d or 4k2d you'll have fun.

so these soundigital and stetsom amps are full range???

so that means ppl could run a *** load of mids off one???

Reason why these kind of full range class D amps exist is because in Brasil they have dual purpose. To drive subs or drive full range speakers set up like used at tail gate parties. In brasil they use these for having huge full range systems like a portable concert system. Would you want to power your cars interiors with any of these? NO. But for what brasilians use them for yes.

thanks for the answer, reason i asked is because i seen a pitcure of some astros back home running soundigital amps to run theyre mids, i was like wtf lol. they were using the astros as the stage speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

No you're right. That isn't the only possible way. Not running right electrical with consistent low voltage will do that to almost any amp too.

You've made your point over and over but that point is only based on the couple of amps out of hundreds sold that did have a problem. And this post is about the new redesigned product which you have absolutely no experience with.

Absolutely no experience is not true. I have seen them and play with them for a bit. They seem much better than the older amps, but relibility is still an issue.
