US AMPS

  1. Started by Crono,

    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

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the MD-3; is it worth the money? And if so would it be a good match with a 15 fi btl?

    Hey I have a US Amps MD2D that the remote wire screw on it happened to break off in the hole that you screw it into. I was wondering how would I go about replacing the power ground remote block for it and how much that would cost. The amp was bought from an authorized seller at the time around 2 and 1/2 years ago. Its a 2005/6 model.

    Both Mrd-m1005 (alpine) and Usa 2000x produce 1000W as I have the Usa running on one channel (time being). However, the Usa blows the Alpine out of the water. I am also getting less dimming then I did with the Digital amp which seems ass backwards to me. Can anyone shed some light so I can understand this more? Thanks Btw, I love this amp!

    Hello I'm new to this forum. I have a few questions that I would like for someone to answer for me. I have the like the title states a US Merlin MD22. Now every where i have read says it do the following specs Power: 200wx2 @ 4 310wx2 @ 2 650wx1 @ 4. And on the box it says 257 @ 4 ohms and 352 @ 2 ohms. So I want to know the truth, whats the deal? The first thing i noticed is the fuse rating (3) 25 amps, now i know that if a amp has a 60 amp fuse. It will do somewhere from 650 to 750 watts. And the second thing I noticed was the power and ground connectors. Now I know it takes like a 4gauge wire. And the thrid things is that it is made in the U.S.A. so I know that its …

    Hey guys ive had an AX4300 for about a year now and one of my channels doesn't work properly. It seems that the rear right channel will give a very scratchy sound like the speaker is blown. i went back and checked the RCAs and they were plugged in fine. if i jiggled the rca or pushed it in harder it would clear up for a while but then the sound comes back. What is going on and how can i fix it!!?! Thank you

    Hi all, I'm new! My name is Francesco, from Italy Two questions: 1. Where I can find U.S. Amps IS2150 Manual? 2. Today I tested it but there's a little problem... If I put signal on right input channel I find speaker output on left channel and viceversa! The board is REV. A. Is possible that the IN-OUT RCA serigraphy is wrong? (Normally RED is right and WHITE is left...) I also find some distorsion on both channel but i'm not fully sure because I used only a 200mm woofer. Power cable in photo is just to test it..if it works I give it a 2AWG Some photos: I hope you can help me, thanks in advance!!

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.
