    I ask because after about 3 days of me using my new AX-2000 model , It stopped working, but looking through the glass backing it doesn't look like anything is damaged on the circuit board at all, yes I checked all power wires/ground/speaker wires/remote wire before I came to the conclusion that it's something in the amp. So I was wondering is there a hidden/built-in fuse somewhere on this amp that would blow before the amp fries, if so where is it?

    I've got an older USA-2000x which is the 2 ohm stable model. Say if I ran this at 2 ohms bridged, would I be good with a 200 amp alt, Kinetic HC2400 and HC800? Thanks

    i just wanna know if the xterminator series amps that can be found pretty readily on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/US-AMPS-XT2000D-xTERMI...1QQcmdZViewItem are solid for the amount of power they put out? i know they dont do the bolstered claims that you see but thier actual power and build is it good, clean, reliable? or is this amp just nice looking trash all the way around? i did see the video of the guy explaining how the numbers are "raised" so that average joe has no idea what his amp is actually doing. anybody here owned one, or had experience with them? thanks for any info . i am not trying to diss us amps( i own two old school ones 400& 150) but do these newer ones…

    well in terms of the class D's....greg just told me that they use the same circuitry as each other. as for the A/B amps, they are totally redesigned, the USacoustics redesign was scrapped, and are now lookin like the old Florida amps. i guess the only difference is the AX line is infinitely strappable. so yea thats GREAT news to hear im thinkin i might go all merlins next.

  16. 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…

  22. Ok guys, I have been using U.S.Amps all my life and nothing else has impressed me as much as them. However, whenever I stick up for U.S.Amps by claiming they are better than the new Rockford, JBL, etc. People laugh and start claiming how U.S.Amps are never seen in any world finals of SPL or SQ, or rarley seen. I dont have any info on what U.S.Amps have accomplished throughout the years as far as Sound championships or anything goes, and I cant seem to find anything on the net, so could the people that have the info post here with links or info in order to arm me and other followers of U.S.Amps? Thanks~!

    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.

  24. Started by The Natural,

    I absolutely loved the old school USA-2000 I used on my front stage at 8 ohms a few years ago. But, now that I have sold all four that I had (like a nutcase!) I am interested in what would be as good or better in the near future. I am considering switching to a 4 ohm load so I am very interested in the old USA2000x. My questions center around comparing these models to some of the newer lines. Would I be better off with the amps mentioned above or something like AX-1000, AX-2000, MD23, or maybe some similar 4 channel models bridged to 2? I have been thinking old school the whole time because I haven't kept up to date on the new stuff enough to know how it compares. T…
