    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?

    OK I have a old USA-3000 I am looking for any info I can get on the SAT LINK I have the software but need to know more about the wire or interface that connects the amp to my lap top. Also I am looking for a copy of the manual for the 3000 I need a Badge (OLD SCHOOL STYLE) and the original style bass knob. I also need to know what Resisters were used in the US AMPS USA model the little blue ones that are right next to the GATE RAIL'S (Every US AMP has these Resisters) Yellow,Purple,Green,Gold,Red are the 5 strips and the part is lite blue and very small. Also how do I disable the amp from turning it self off? I have heard that the SAT system with out being plugged in can…

    Hey guys, I have two US Amps 3200's and I am wondering if I need a MLT to strap them? From what I understand, they can be strapped. I cannot find any info on the web regarding what and how to strap them. Can someone offer me some insight if they are strappable? If so, how would I go about it? There is no master/slave switch on them, hence why I think I'll need an MLT module. Both of the amps have US Amps/RE stamped on them. They have the grey wire, not the red. Thanks!

    What makes a AX2000HC worth $1000 more than a AX2000? I know that volts x amps = watts. I have been told that a AX2000 produces 600 watts at 4 ohms and that a AX2000HC provides 150 watts at 4 ohms. I don't understand. Does the High Current amplifier have a extremely low voltage? Does the AX200HC have a much better power supply contained in the same size package? What IS the difference? I know from experience that US Amps builds a heavy duty amplifier, but specs don't help me understand what I am getting for my money.

  19. My cousin has a MD2D that he got earlier this year on his 4 12s and was wondering if he added another MD2D or MD3D could he strap it with his pre-existing MD2D? If so does he need some thing that I heard about a few years ago called MLT or does he just need another set of RCA jacks or something or is it even possible to begin with?

    JR would probably be able to answer best... but, does USAmps have any flawed heatsinks for the Xterminator series? I would love to get my hands on one so I could make an amplifier linking piece for my 2000d & 1600.4

    Hey flakko, I was wondering if you can get ahold of something that would make my amps look like one big amp sitting side by side. Kind of like the older RF amps, just an endcap that connects 2 amps and makes it look like the amp continues on. It is for the IS series BTW. I think it would look sweet if I could do that. Let me know man, Alex

    hi, i am going to be getting a XT-1600.4 in a month or so and i am going to be putting it in a false floor and i notice that it has fins and i am wondering are they for looks or do they serve as the heat sink like jl's. because i need to know where to focus the fans on since it will have pexiglass over it but i will try to make the flase floor as breathable as possable. and does it make 180 at 2 ohm right. and also i saw that the input goes up to 6 volt but i was planing on using a line driver because i dont want to spend alot of getting longer rca's/ and most line drivers arre atleast 8 volts
