US AMPS

  1. Started by benz280se,

    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…

    How can i strapp 4 of these beasts to a nominal 0,25 Ohm impedance on a single super battery only for burps? I'm thinking of using them on my Street max 1-2 setup to replace my 2 USA 6000. Is it safe?Has anyone done it?Is there any strapping diagram available?

    I hooked them up using the MLT, linked together, and I can not get them to push my 2 AQ HD3's with the same power. I have tried everything I know to tune them but they will not push them with the same authority. I can get them to be working the same on a test tone but whenever I play music the subs do not hit the same frequencies with the same authority. One will hit the low frequencies good and the other will hit the mid to high frequencies better. What is going on? I tried to turn all the gains to the same point but that just makes one sub hit hard and the other one will be lagging. What should I do, I tried to unlink them with the RCA's and have them acting as single a…

    Hey was wondering if anyone out there has some recommendations regarding enclosures specs for two RE MT 12 for daily use. I've read other post that say to use the information stated for the MX12's as a guide. Also is there a set limit to the rms these speakers can handle.

    Flakko answered all questions and of course made me a SMOKIN deal on some Merlin amps....... I haven't owned US since 97' and I was happy then so expect i'll be happy now. I I would though like to ask for any reviews of the MD22 & MD2 amps or the others as well. Anyone actually looked at the ouput with a scope to determine, with adequite power supply to amp, where they start to clip at? Any info wold be nice I only found one thig on google . I don't frequent here as much as ECA and SD but I will now have to come here alot more often!.

    Ive heard that USAMPS are sub drivers rather than musical amps. By musical I mean stuff that would drive high end components. I use my USAMPS for everything as I am impressed by the formidable power and low distortion. How good are US AMPS at playing the upper frequencies compared to brands like sinfoni and brax? Are there NOTICABLE differences between the tube series and regular AB US AMPS? J

  21. My friend has the us amp Merlin md3d... He got it not too long ago perhaps last month for 400.... now i want to get it.... he said to give me my AQ. and 150... Should i go for??? This is also the friend that i sold my lv4 too.. I am going to get it back... I want to go back to my high school and win the competition they have.. ha ha... okay the comp. is not real legit. they do it by ear ... and stand like ten feet from the vehicle... and there mostly are trucks.. so it will be just a bit harder for me... Not sayin this is true... and i think they will be biased considering the some of the people that go...they think kicker or lanzar are the best thing out there...…

    Hey guys, I have two US Amps 3200's and I am wondering if I need a MLT to strap them? From what I understand, they can be strapped. I cannot find any info on the web regarding what and how to strap them. Can someone offer me some insight if they are strappable? If so, how would I go about it? There is no master/slave switch on them, hence why I think I'll need an MLT module. Both of the amps have US Amps/RE stamped on them. They have the grey wire, not the red. Thanks!

    Ok I have two of these amps. One from 93 and one from 95. I have some questions about them someone may be able to answer. These amps have different boards. I assume because they are 2 different gens. 93 is a bit more compact than the 95. Both boards have the areas where it seems more components could be added to make them 4 channel. Is this possible or just dead spots on the boards? Next, I see conflicting info around the web. I realize these are 65watts per channel at 4ohm and that it is not reccomended to go any lower. Fine, good, whatever. I am wondering if they can be bridged at 8ohm. I have not installed them yet so I cannot test them myself. I see some pl…

I have one that I will be selling and would like some idea as to what to expect. I was going to use EBAY but after looking at amps there I am thinking twice. Any help would be appreciated. I dont want to lose too much money on this if possible. Thanks. Charles
