List any ohter test anyone has preformed!
I know the people that have got them Love them but let some people know your results!
Scores and more

not to bad but from the site at 13.8volts it makes 7krms and @ 16volts clkworg36 states it only made 8106krms sounds just about right to me but Id rather take a Zenon built board [Wink]

I think the amp was tested yesterday @ 18v and it got around 8600. I hope that the results will get posted. The 8600 was @ around 1.3 Ohm load.

ok i just need you all to know ,with 0,7 ohms coil rise to 2.1 ohms.
if you bridge 2 amplifiers at 0,7 ohms eat amplifier see 1.4 ohms, the stetsom amplifiers work diferente in bridge ,ok from 2.1 ohms rise eat amplifier work at 4.2 ohms .
i think the best way to run the stetsom amplifiers, is bridge at 0,25 ohms.
at my test from 0,25 ohms rise to 0,9ohms ,and eat amplifier see 1.8 ohms.
with 1 DD battery(12.8) and 1 amplifier we test at 0,7 ohms ,rise to 2.1 ohms we drop the voltage to 11,2 volts and have 5000 w rms.
we test the hifonics amplifier on same conditions 0.7 ohms rise to 2.1 ohms and we have see 147.1 db ,with the stetsom 7kd we have see 148 db .today i am going to test the 7kd vs golias in 18 volts.

So to clearify, this test was
done with the dd battery?

doesnt different applications such as box sizes port tunning have an affect on impendance rise??

If I am correct you can burp when amps are strapped down to .250-Ohm below that you have to Roll into. Alan will correct me if I am wrong.

i was wondering if anybody else caught on 5k vrs 7k ,lol.

i think that ur testing proves how powerful the goliath is, only .9dbs down from a amp claiming 2k more power. grab a sampson and then compare head to head.

it is still a compliment when someone is using ur product as a standard. u know ur on top then...

It's fun when people compare our 5000 watt amp to there 7000 watt amp [Smile]

If they have an XXVGoliath it still may beat the 7000 watt amp at 18 volts.

Of course we will consider the source [Frown]

We say bring your amps and we will test them in the same car on the same set up. I am sure Alan would be glad to put your amps in his car to test! OR maybe be we could get Craig to test for us and see if HiFonics con do a 179.8! With 6 amps or even a 177.8 with 3.

i would like to see what this 18v test will show but still putting a 5k amp against a 7k amp doesnt sound to fair of a test. but we will see...

I'm interested in the results of these tests.

I'm in Street and I'm more concerned about the size of the amps.
The Sampson is WAY to big for my application.
The Goliath might fit my application, but the Stetsom amp is louder and smaller (I think).

So I guess it doesn't really matter what the amp is rated at for power. One claims 5,000 watts and one claims 7,000 watts. Neither amp will do what it claims in the Street classes, so I will go with the one that is louder and smaller.

how wouldn't that test be fair? If you know anything about amps power ratings, they can be taken with a grain of salt. Both of these amps are close to same price and size. And when you are talking about one high power amp being .9 louder than another, that is a huge difference. And there is nothing possible bad to say about the goliath cuz it's a very well made amp. But the tests are fair in the spl world. Now to test the somson vs. The stetsom that may not be fair cuz now it's twice the price and over a foot longer. In the spl world we as competitors compare price for real power and if you're a street competitor we compare price, real power and size. I'm just trying to explain why this is a good and fair test for the spl world.
