We have checked 18 Atomic amps at 7 different retailers across the United States and found 18 of 18 amplifiers have internal components other than those specified on the cases and in the manufacturers product literature. While this is a most serious issue and requires immediate action we must take into account the members who have unwittingly purchased this product based on the incorrect information provided.

At this time ALL ATOMIC AMPLIFIERS will be automatically rated and placed in the UNLIMITED POWER CLASS of each division. Competitors current points standings will not be affected nor will their ability to compete at finals. Competitors with Atomic amps may move up to the unlimited class at finals regardless of the power class they qualified in.

Ralph Randall,
UsaCi Inc.

Are you phukin with me? If this is correct, then it changes everything.

whatever it is at 4 ohms. or let say max power divide by4 whichever is higher is the rating you go at. ex 2000 watt at 1 ohms them 2000/4= 500. if it is 3000 at 1 them 3000/4= 750. then it will be 750 watts

Cool deal, indeed. Thanks for the info man. Will be very useful. Like I've said, this really changes everything. I thought I'd fall into the 601-1800 class, since my current setup will be sharing 1000w. Again, thanks man.

Dos any one know what the DD M3 is rated at 4ohms?

I am not for sure but thinking about it it has to be less than 600 cause they are saying that they are the amp to have 0 to 600. I think I read something some wheir that it was like 550 but I am not a pro or even close to it.

I found some interesting info from someones personal test on the m3. Still looking for the other info.

M3 is rated at 600

So it was not tested by USACI?

no. that was rating set by manufacturer

Yep. Manufacture rated on that one as Sam said.

No disrespect to DD but what Man. rating dos not count for me. USACI ok is what counts for me.

So you are saying the DD rating is bogus? the other thing to do is send one in to usaci to verify it.

I wont say much on the DD, but some of the testing and readings I have saw. Hmmm.

Lets see the new 600 watt Cactus amp Christoph.

1 thing, I all ways try and do my home work.
About my new amps, good things come to those who wait.

Patiently waiting...and am excited about the new (to the U.S.) Cactus line.
