    Hey guys, i've got an MD22 amplifier, and was wondering if it was capable of handling loads down at 1.33 ohms or lower without compromising the internals (3x 4-ohm components / channel / parallel)? I Realize that it'll void the warranty, but is it safe to run at these loads?

    Hey guys I need a little help.... I used to be able to flick a switch on some amps I have had from playing just lows (bass) then flick the switch and there would be highs comming out of the sub. SInce I have used D class mono amplifiers, I have not seen this feature anymore. I was told to look for a class A/B amplifier, but I purchased the usa-1000 and it did not have the feature, yet it was a class A/B. Wat is it I should be looking for? I need 1000 watts rms @ 2 ohms minimum.

    hi folks i have this amp since 99 and has been through various installs, but i never knew the tru output of this beast. it is rated at 1200w @12.8 i think but i have recently found that the power is unregulated so i guess the more power you have to feed it the more watts you get. anyone know the the tru power in numbers?

    I must voice my happieness!! My Amp search is all done and Mmmm it sounds so so good lol! Lets hope. I have 2 of these amps and 2 are still on the way. Here is what I ended up with... US Amps USA-50 for Tweeters US Amps USA-400x For 5.25's Midrange US Amps USA-600x for 8" Midbass US Amps USA-300x For 12" subwoofer I was able to get all the X series amps in Chrome so they will all match. The USA-50 is older and did not come in Chrome, so its purple. I plan to install circuit board up, so it should not be that big of a deal. Sadly this is a very extensive install so It may not be till Spring till I can get it all done lol! It would be cool if I could find some ins…

    I Have A MLT setup and I want to know the advantages of this setup.I have two md3d going to two 13w7's. Under this setup I have one md3d going to my subs and the other is a slave amp.The advantage I have with this setup is I only have to play with one gain on the amp which is good and also when I had played with both amps before I have to make sure that both amps were even on the gain so the subs would move the same.Now with the new setup the subs are more even when they are under excursion so better sound.It seems that the subs hit harder and cleaner. :bigclap:

    So I may have fried my black usa50 today. I turned off the car and I heard a bang. I looked and checked everything out. Amp was really hot. No electrical stink to it. I haven't tried to fire it back up to check yet I wanted to let it fully cool off. The board and everything look good from the outside. I plan to see tomorow when I get off work if it still wont turn on If it is indeed fried can I still send in the old usamps for repair. This one is from 96-97. I'm not sure if flakko can lead me in the right path on this one or not. If not I will call sometime.
