    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…

  5. 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…

    I just got one of these not too long ago and finally hooked it up to my VLX-400 and my USA-150. Now my question is the setting of the "gain" on the crossover. From what I understand in the 2000 manual, that knob controls input voltage to the the amp from 0-9 volts. I have it at 3/4 on every channel. I didn't have time for long term testing and nothing sounded distorted or anything. I just want to make sure I'm not going to damage my speakers by having it at that point. So my question is, it it actually a gain knob, or does it act like a line driver and just increase the voltage while turning it up (obviously unlike a line driver, it is not adding voltage to the 8 vo…

    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?

    Hey guys what are the real Dimensions ofthe 2007 US Amps Merlin Series? I'm interested in the MD-3D and the MD-21 but since i'm tight on space i wanna know the real Dimensions before i buy. Here on SSA I've seen that the MD-21 WxHxD is 7.9 x 2.5 x 8.75, on www.woofersetc.com I've seen it the same, but on their website it is WxHxD is 10.5 x 2.5 x 10.75.(now what?) The MD-3D here on SSA it is ?? x 2.5 x 8.75 WxHxD the W is unknow( wich in my case it's very important), on WoofersEtc.com it is WxHxD: 13.8 x 2.5 x 8.75 and on their WebSite it is WxHxD: 21.75 x 2.5 x 10.5, now I'm very confused and i realy need to know the real dimension mainly the W(L) thus how long they are…

  15. To get the best sound what is the difference of gain from 15 HZ to 40Hz. Putting the gains clockwise would be the best choice right, closer towards 40 hz. Do to the type of of install I have it is very difficult to work on my gains.My space is limited to work with.

    I just recently got a US Amps VLX-200 and I'm working on a USA-150. I really liked these old amps from the first time I saw a USA-400. What I wanted to know was, is there anywhere I can get information on these amps (like a website). Also how hard are these on electrical systems? I'm going to be running two amps and a XM-6 Crossover and I'm concerned with my setup. I have the 3 big in 1/0, 140 amp alt. and a really good wet cell. I didn't really dimm @ full volume with a Sundown 1500D and a small four channel, but the VLX is huge. Well LMK guys.

    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…
