Mosconi amps
Atomo vs. Pico vs. One
Which Amplifier is Right for You?
π Looking to upgrade your car audio system but not sure which amplifier to choose?
There are many factors to consider when designing your systemβhow many speakers youβre powering, whether you have a subwoofer, and how much tuning control you want.
π‘ To simplify your choices, weβre boiling it down to Mosconiβs top 4-channel and 6-channel amplifiers:
β
Atomo β Compact and efficient, great for stealth builds
β
Pico β Full DSP, great sound tuning, and digital inputs
β
One β High power, competition-grade performance
Not sure how many channels or how much power you need? Hereβs a simple guide:
βοΈ 2-Way System (Front Only) β 4 channels
βοΈ 2-Way System (Front + Rear) β 4 to 6 channels
βοΈ 3-Way System (Front Only) β 6 channels
βοΈ 3-Way System + Subwoofer β 6+ channels
If youβre serious about sound quality, we can custom-design a system that matches your goals and budget. Now, letβs compare these three amplifiers so you can find the perfect one for your build.
πΉ Mosconi Atomo β The Compact Powerhouse
π― Best for: Tight spaces, stealth installs, motorcycles, and factory integration

β
Works great with factory head units (accepts up to 20V high-level inputs)
β
High efficiency (>75%) = less heat, less battery drain
πΈ What it doesnβt have:
β No built-in DSP (youβll need an external DSP for tuning)
β No digital inputs (Optical/Coax)
π‘ Who should get this amp?
If you need a small, high-quality amp for factory system upgrades, classic cars, motorcycles, or stealth builds, the Atomo 4 is a perfect choice.

β
Full DSP built-in (perfect for tuning your system)
β
50W x 4 + 80W x 2 @ 4Ξ© / 210W x 1 bridged
β
High efficiency (>80%) = runs cool and consumes less power
β
Multiple digital inputs (Optical, Coax, CARD slot)
β
Ultra-low noise floor (107 dB SNR) for crystal-clear sound
πΈ What it doesnβt have:
β Less power than One Amp
β Slightly larger than Atomo, but still compact
π‘ Who should get this amp?

πΈ What it doesnβt have:
β Larger size (needs more space for installation)
β Higher power draw (>65% efficiency compared to Picoβs 80%)
π‘ Who should get this amp?
If you need maximum power, the One Amp is built for multi-speaker systems, subwoofers, and full competition-level setups.
π¬ Final Thoughts
All three amplifiers offer outstanding performance, but choosing the right one depends on your system goals:
