[QUOTE="dtbrown, post: 5885744, member: 570125"] Little amp education. What ever the rating of almost 99% of big amps 3000w+ on the market expect on getting about 20% less then the rated power at the rated impedance due to impedance rise and majority of people don't give the electrical to support 4000w+. As for the Stetsom they do 12.5v rating because again most people don't run enough electrical to support the big amps and when they turn it up voltage is only around 12.5v. And 2k6d is rated at 2600w @ 2ohms on 12.5v hit the "2"k"6"d for 2600w. And 4k2d is rated at 4200w @ 2ohms 12.5v "4"k"2"d for 4200w. Hope that makes sense. And the 4k2d on a ok electrical system dropping voltage into high 11's will get you no less then 2900w at 4-6ohms. If you can get your electrical to hold above 12.5v then you'll see over 3500w easy. And again keep in mind that this doesn't just apply just for Stetsom but for most unregulated big amps out there. You're looking for a 7k amp for around $800 used which if you can get would be a good deal. Just keep in mind that it's rating of 7000w @ 1ohms is on 14.4v. If your electrical is up to par with a 350+ amp alternator and at least 3 good group 31 batteries like kinetik 2400's you'll see about 5000w. But if your electrical is any less you'll see closer to 4000w. Hope this helps with a little understanding of how big amps work. [/QUOTE]
