US AMPS

Hey has anyone purchased a merlin md3d from Ikesound? Are they a reputable dealer? I was browsing and found that they have the new model md3d for $500.00.

Many people say that the old school us amps were better probably because they were made in the US.At least in the 21st Century how good or bad in terms of circuitry are the amps compared to old.( I know US Amps AX Line are made here)

I got my 2 US AMPS in today...thought I might get a 3rd for sub duty although I can get by with the 2 amps I have...wondered if a USA50 would be enough to power a sub...a 10 inch...

call me way behind with them in the last 3 years...can I get a quick course on whats what?

I have always regretted selling my 2 US amps T700's and when I got the chance to buy a 400x & 600x I took it....I havnt got them yet but I was wanting to run them like so... 400x bridged and running a JL Audio 10inch..model # unknown...its in a wedge box they made as a unit I think.... 600x running 4 coaxials for a 2ohm load.... or should I swap them around? I dont want the sub to overpower the entire system...and I dont want to add another amp either... what you guys think? these are still good amps made in USA I hope .......I know US AMPS has undergone many changes....

Hey, US Amps owns RE now right? Question on an RE purchase: I found one of the SX models on eBay for $209 while woofersect.com costs $420 on sale http://cgi.ebay.com/RESONANT-ENGINEERING-S...1QQcmdZViewItem Is this just because there's no warranty and it's a shady dealer? or is this an older model possibly? Thanks for any info

I'm currently running a rockford fosgate amp to a single sealed rli-8 s4 directly coupled to my cabin (via the ski pass hole). The SQ is great, but at higher volumes I think the amp is not so clean. I've got a 1 farad cap and battery is in the trunk, and my radar detector displays system voltage and it's very stable. I was thinking of replacing this amp with a XT 800.2. I think is is sized appropriately. The Rockford Fosgate I'm running is the previous generation of this model: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/pr...S&p_status= Sound like a plan? TIA! -Ron

wats up guys anyone with comment on the new md1d is it a strong performer does rated watts? underrated etc?

I have a US Amps USA 800 pushing 4 15's I also have 4 Zapco C2K 9.0's in the closet, My ride has Zapco on the mids and highs so I am going to put the 9.0's on the subs. I think the information on this amp(USA-800)is interesting for those browsing this forum and I'm checking to see if there is enough interest to warrant selling it. The following is a portion of the ad from when I purchased the amp. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's one I'd be tickled pink to find under my Christmas tree...one of the original 50 US AMPS USA-800!! This is THE bad-boy cheater amp, with sound quality creditials. Truely the absolute be…

Hi guys, recently i bought some new RE Audio and USAmps equipments: 4x RE Audio 6.5CompSet, 4x RE Audio SX12" dual 4ohm, 2x MD-21 and 2x MD-3D here's a link http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/468403.html Now I have a question about the MLT function it's says in the owners manual that the Impedance should be between 4-8ohms, I thought that the final ohm will be 2ohm since each amp will be wired to 1ohm (2 RE SX on each MD-3D), now I'm confuse what power do I get if I wired them as the owners manual shows 4ohms I wont get the full 4000wrms between the two right? because it's not wired down to 2ohms. can anybody help me out here? and the other question is about the M…

I see two different md2s' One says "Merlin MD.2" and has all of the connections at the bottom of the amp on the long side The other says "MD-2D" and has all of the connections on the right end of the amp (this is the one on the usamps.com site durrently) The power ratings are identical, but there is no way that with all of the radical differences they are te same, one has to be better My questions are these; What are the differences (is one like a 5 year old model and the other current?) And of course, which one has more power! (do they exceed rated power or just meet it? at 2 ohms specifically), Does anyone have specifics or no? And what else about them should one know?…

Since there isnt a distributor in Canada anymore I'm wondering if there are going to be any dealers in Canada. Maybe US Amps/RE is looking for someone to take over for their Canadian distributions Might be better if they were to answer emails. Does anyone know anything about any of this?

Bigg Boy at ***** Audio benched with an o-scope on a current XT4000D: ^^^ there you have it and thanks a lot!

After almost 20 hours I finally got my system up and running. Integrating into a Factory system with a Navagation unit is a headache but I did it. I used a RF 360.2 to send the signal to my amps. I have not put in the AX-3200DE yet but that will be this weekend along with my RE MX18. So I should start off by saying this amp sounds amazing. I am running my stock speakers and it makes them sound soo much better than the stock amp. There are things I am hearing in my music that I couldnt hear before. The only issue I have is that when the volume is low or where there should be silence in the music there is HISSSSSS. I dont think its normal and I have identified the amp as th…

I need to know if the amps are unregulated and also I have two 07 md3d amps each pulling 240 amps of draw(2 x 240=480 amps)Will upgrading my alternator getting up to 400 plus amps will I get the full potential of the amps?

I have an old school USA-25 amp... wanted to know where I could buy some plugs for it? Any help would be great!

I have a md22 and I'm guessing its an 06? I'm not sure but its the style with one side that is square and it houses all the controls and the other side is round. Anyway I need a guts picture of the amp that is a step above it. Mine is being modded and I need to see what amp is the next steup up from the 22. Thanks.

I've never seen this one before. not mine by the way just thought it was saaweet http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.p...070#post4214070

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…

I'm getting a VL-50 and I need specs. Thanks

Are these amps 2 or 1 ohm mono stable or would I be pushing it. I believe the 150x puts out 500x1 at 4 ohm bridged. Can I bridge it down further to 2 ohms or am I asking for trouble. Any input is greatly appreciated. I was also considering using the us amps optimizer with these amps. The 100x would power boston pro60 3 ohm speakers in stereo. The 100 would power boston pro6.5 in the rear in either stereo or mono, probably stereo. I was looking at picking up a 8'' sub and running it at 2 ohms off the 150x. Maybe a 8w7(3ohm i think), tc sound, fi, or soundsplinter. Am I asking for trouble? or can these works of art handle these loads all day long? This is all going…

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…

OK heres the deal I have the SAT software but now I need to find the Black box interface that goes from the amp to the old 232 Serial port. Does anyone have one of these SAT Interface boxes that can tell me whats in the box and what I would have to do to make one or have one they might want to get ride off?
