US AMPS

  1. Started by deadman573,

    OK I have a old USA-3000 it still works however there are four burned up resistors right by the power supply they are M106 M107 M116 and M117 they are light blue and have five lines on them Red Gold Green Purple and Yellow I looked at the amp guts site and every amp that us amps ever made while they were in Florida had this resistor in them. Does anyone know why they are blown and if I can just replace them and not have to replace something else as well? also does anyone know what value these resistors are so I can buy new ones?

  2. 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.

    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…

    Has anyone ever had or heard a modded US Amp? I am speaking to a guy who says he upgrades US Amps and when I asked he said he makes them sound clearer. Any idea what he means?

    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.

    hi, I've been looking to buy a new amp for a while, and every model made by US amps seems to be top quality, but I was wondering what the prices were? and where do you buy them? I'm looking to buy a class D mono amp that does around 1000 x1 @ 1 ohm... thanks

    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.

    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.

    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)

  18. 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…

    Hi I am very happy with all my Chrome US Amps USA series. However I am changing my system, and now need a better Midbass amp. I am looking at the Us Amps Merlin MD23 but I do not see anything other then specs written about it anywhere! Has anyone used it, and can give me your thoughts? I need a amp that does 300 Watts @ 4 ohm X2 and has a high pass crossover that can cross at 60-65Hz. The MD23 fits that perfectly. Thanks.

Presented my problem and his technical knowledge was spot on and knew immediately what the issue was....He was courteous and very insightful.....I was transfered to the front office to Holly to get a RA number to send my amp in..... Holly was really nice and very receptive to my issue.... I had no problems getting the RA number and got to laugh a bit at her attempt to pronounce some of the streets names here in Hawaii.....
