US AMPS

  1. Started by thekl0wn,

    Just as the title states... Who wins in terms of SQ? In my eyes, the prices are comparable, and I've heard good about both. I'm leaning towards going with the USamps XT series over the GTO's... One major issue that shouldn't be so major is the looks... The GTO's a gawdy, and the XT's are plain & simple. Any thoughts or input on the comparison?

Also does anyone know the specs on this amp? ... i have looked everywhere . I havnt even seen one on ebay (previous owner did the "custom" paint job. ) it used to be purple.

    Does any one know what the real outputs are for the vlx-400 at 1ohms on 14.4 and 16 and can it take 18v? I have one I am either going to use or sale I have had it for sale for sometime but no body buying in this market so I might as well use it. Someone said it needs like 350amps to run good is this also true??

    Hi, I'm from Germany and I have bought an US Amps Merlin MD-23 Amp on Ebay earlier this year. I never opened it because I didn't have time to work on my car. Today I finally wanted to look inside my new Amp and I was shocked. On the Packaging Box and the Chassis it says MD-23 but on the Board it says MD-22. So I guess I was deceived by the Ebay seller. But I wanted to be sure, so is there any attribute that could tell for sure which Amp I do have here? I'm looking forward to any reply you can give me =) Greets Eric
