US AMPS

  1. Started by Mynameismcgyver,

    Have 4 fresh Usa 2000's that have never seen power. Going to run one one my FI Bl 15 in my 2001 Nissan Maxima with aftermarket battery and stock alt. I wont be killing this setup but will it not kill my system until I get an 130Amp alt for it...And possibly a second battery if I need to??? Again, I wont be pushing it way too hard but ive heard these amps draw alot of current.

    Hi guys! Came to find out how people thought of the various usa/re-audio amps - thanks for all the info! But a suggestion - the pinned topics are the 2007 models? there is a 2009 model thread and we are already into the 2010 range (my local dealer has the gen2 xt v3 coming next week) maybe turn the pinned thread into a specs round up with all the models by release date? Thanks again, Jen (doing install for a 1999 delica rv)

    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.

    Simple question, What is the input sensitivity on the Merlin series amps? I searched the US Amps website but couldnt find the info. I'm contemplating on buying an MD21 to power a pair of components, just curious what their input sensitivity is.

    I have 2 of them strapped powering my AQ HD3 15's. I am running them off of a Kenwood KDC-X891 HU. The only problem I am having is when I start my truck I get noise through my subwoofers it is more audible when I first start my truck and when the HU is loading the CD. Then it tones down a little bit once the cd starts to play I can not hear the noise anymore because my subs are playing the music, but then when I turn my truck off I have a turn off thump. Is this something to do with the HU or the amps? I did have 2 Viper 1200's strapped before the MD3's and I was running an Eclipse CD5435 HU and I did not have any turn on or turn off noise. Since then the Eclipse HU's RCA…

    I have 2 US Amps Md3's strapped. My question is will both of the amps be putting out AC Voltage or just the master? I went out there today and on music my master was putting out AC volts but my slave was not putting out any AC volts. Both of my subs work and they are wired seperate so both amps are working but the slave is not reading any AC voltage.

  9. To get the best sound what is the difference of gain from 15 HZ to 40Hz. Putting the gains clockwise would be the best choice right, closer towards 40 hz. Do to the type of of install I have it is very difficult to work on my gains.My space is limited to work with.

    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.
