a partner was interested in purchasing a stetsom amplifier for 4 rcf ten ..the 3k3 eq..he was concerned about the amp clipping and leading to damaging his speakers .can anyone who has used the stetsom clarify this clipping issue and how to control it

I will go with the dd DD SS2A,first these amps do there rating,do not get hot to trip,price/quality.

I have a punch 1000x2 and my birthsheet have it clocking at 1378 RMS @ 4ohms bridge. It will certainly give you enough power for 2.

the long and short of these brazilian amplifers-

(taken quote on quote from their website)
http://www.stetsom.com.br/produto/3k3-eq-2-ohms/

Potência RMS em 2 Ohm 12,6V 3.350W RMS
Potência RMS em 4 Ohm 12,6V 2.250W RMS
Potência RMS em 2 Ohm 13,8V 4.000W RMS
Potência RMS em 4 Ohm 13,8V 2.600W RMS
Potência @ 12.6V Mono 8 Ohms 1.400W RMS
Potência @ 13.8V Mono 8 Ohms 1.600W RMS

and the more important part-

Consumo com Sinal Musical 2,8 ~ 160A
Consumo com Sinal Bass 2,8 ~ 320A

Given the amp has a typical efficiency of 60% (assuming 12.6v)

Consumo com Sinal Musical
12.6v x 160amps = 2016w
2016/100 x 60 = 1209.6wrms

This is the worst case senario, and basically an approximation of what the amp will do at the lowest point, on the other hand don't expect more than 1600wrms before clipping comes in while playing music
