    I need to get in touch with him involving an amp of mine that he has and he hasn't been on ca.com in a couple weeks. I don't think Jeremy is scamming or anything, (he's Flakko after all ). Just need to get in contact and I haven't heard from him in 3 weeks.

    Ok I have two of these amps. One from 93 and one from 95. I have some questions about them someone may be able to answer. These amps have different boards. I assume because they are 2 different gens. 93 is a bit more compact than the 95. Both boards have the areas where it seems more components could be added to make them 4 channel. Is this possible or just dead spots on the boards? Next, I see conflicting info around the web. I realize these are 65watts per channel at 4ohm and that it is not reccomended to go any lower. Fine, good, whatever. I am wondering if they can be bridged at 8ohm. I have not installed them yet so I cannot test them myself. I see some pl…

    Hi, I am new to this forum and I am looking into upgrading my current system and I was looking at the RE SE12 being powered be either a XT 2000D or a XT 4000D since this site says the XT 2000D only puts out 800 rms at 1 ohm now is that right or is that a typo error and also I am looking at the XT 1600.4 to run my speakers and again it says that at 4 ohm it puts out 125 but the US amps website says 100 rms and is that correct.

    what are the actual specifications for these two amplifiers? i keep seeing different ratings from different sites. even from the thread on here compared to the us amps site. lookin for the stats on paper.. not how much they put out when they were benchtested, i know theyre underrated.

    I'm getting sort of a loud bass note when the amplifier turns on and I was wondering what could be the problem. It was a drop in install since I had an amp installed before this already and there was no loud turn ons with the other amplifier. Also, since I put the MD2 in, I'm getting a lot of noise through my speakers at low volumes. The noises go along with how my engine works (i speed up, noise pitch gets higher). The grounds are the same as I had before and I never had this problem, so does anyone know how to fix this or the loud turn on?

    hey i just wanted to see if anyone wanted to try out an AXTU300C i have another one im going to use to biamp my front stage, but while i am waiting for the speakers to come in and finish fiberglassing, i said to myself, "why not let the nice people on SSA try it out?" since this is a very esspensive piece of equipment, i will allow 5 people and to my discretion to be able to try this out. The sender pays shipping to the next location. the stats of this amp are as follows: 100x2@4, 160x2@2, 320x2@4 anything else youll find on the stats and pix page. if someone can bench it, that would be really cool. so yea people sign up!!! 1.

  20. In an industry where people are afraid to deal with the small guys because they always feel liek they are vulnerable and customer service will not be consistent I am glad to say that US amps is not a company you have to think twice about when buying your next amp. I had a problem with my md2..... sent it back in for warranty, received a call from Greg immediately stating that they were waiting for parts from their suppliers and that there may be a slight delay in the repair of my amplifier. Since they were proffessional about it I told them to just keep me posted and I would be patient. A very short time had passed when i received phone calls from Greg and Hector stating…

    I've seen the specs for both and was wondering what justified the extra money for less watts on the AX2000HC (2400 watts) vs. AX3000DE (3000 watts). I know they HC is for high current (down to .5 ohms) but is there something else I'm missing?
