US AMPS

okay this will be the official USAmps picture thread.... you got some pictures? post em here is some news: * New and improved AX Line * Unveiling of a 6 ft. long amplifier (note: upon further questioning, this "amp" at the show is just a giant heat sink, showing the possibility of the Multiple link technology. this is NOT an actual amplifier, just a chassis) Larry, you were right. * Brand new Xterminator Line to replace the IS * USamps drivers and comp sets (TB released in the future) thats all i could think of so far. im going to get some in depth info tomorrow. pix from Djjdap courtesy of 95stroked1500: the new Xterminator line to replace the I/S WOOT! HMMM usamps…

last night i was working on my system and i was hooking speaker wire to the right terminals. the amp is a I/S2200. there was a sub hooked up to the left terminal. while screwing in the first of the screws, the sub moved really weird and sparks flew off the amp. then the amp started smoking, i shut my car off and unhooked the amp. it was still smoking, i took the panel off of it to look at the board, there were huge burn marks and there was an aluminum piece on the side of the amp that was half melted.(pics later hopefully) i put the amp back together and hooked it up to power and ground to see if the power light would come on. it did so i hooked the sub back up and it wor…

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…

Funny, as I am waiting for my USA-600x to arive, I had to put an Old Rockford Fosgate Puch 100 DSM in my car. Well early this week I bought a US Amps USA-50 as an amp to run my tweeters in a all active system. I just realized its rated 50 watts X 2 just as the RF 100 is alaso rated 50 X 2. I am going to get some connectors tomorrow to properly attach the wire to the US Amp and swap the two. With the same power rating and similar size, I look forward to seeing which one takes the cake lol On a side note, Can anyone explain why my USA-300x I just got has 2 Power connections and 2 Ground connections? Do I need to wire accordingly? If so that means even more distribut…

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!

Now I am not going to point fingers at us amps quality because it is probably me doing something wrong. Anywho, I have a us amps xt1600.4 runnning focal polykevlar 5.25" components. I have the focals in stock door locations with the tweeters mounted on the pillars. The xt1600.4 has a .5 farad cap on it. I have not yet fine tuned the gains because i have not had the chance but they are roughly set. I expected this combo to blow me away, but it is not any better than the old boston component set I had running off the HU. My question is: Could the gains need to be changed, I mean, can that cause distortion? also, I have some sub par rca's from scosche. Could that be it? Last…

Hey guys I was curious if anyone had any idea what a US Amps 3000 de 2006 model should sell for. It is still new in the box. 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

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...…

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)

Anyone know if the RE SX will run 12 - 1500 rms daily?

Hello When will the 2008 be out or are they already out? And what will be the difference between the 2007 and the 2008 merlins calss D amps? Thanks

www.myspace.com/us_amps woot! first time doing a myspace...6 freakin hours last night setting it up... i got a blog too check that out.

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

Are the us amp 2000 series amps still being made? since the move, i've heard bad things about their new products..

I have this US Amps 200, looks to be made in the 90s, no crossover. Works great, but gets kind of warm running bridged at 2ohm. I recently got a Ascendant avalanche and those subs come in dual 2ohms so i was thinking about running the amp at 1ohm bridged. I've heard from some people that its possible with a little modification, i'm no electric engineer, but i've modded a decent amount of ps1/ps2 and built some headphone amps so i'm tempted to try this. Besides swamping the capacitors w/ higher voltage capacitors, what eles could i replace on this amp? Is there anything i can add? Could i just leave it as is and just cool it better? thanks in advance for any help

Hi all, I am still waiting for my US Amps to arive, and in the mean time I am ordering new wire and other things I will need for my new install. I have 0 Awg comming from the Battery back to the trunk. I will be running a USA-300x, USA-400x, USA-600x and a USA-50. Should I run 4 or 8 awg wire to those amps Power and ground? Also should I run one large fuse, or get a distribution block with seperate fuses to control each individual amp? Just wondering what wire and hardware I should use to insure a strong safe system.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new a AX-5600, and I don't want to pay full retail for it. Can someone recommend a dealer that will take care of me at the right price?

I have a USA-200 pushing a 12" RLP on a single channel at 2 ohms at the moment. From my understanding the 200 is bridgeable at 2 ohms. This is one of the first usamps I have owned, and I am unsure of which terminals to use for bridgeing. Anyone know if it is the right + and the left - or vice versa, or if I am completely wrong and the amp is not bridgeable @ 2 ohms?

Look at this think lol........ http://cgi.ebay.com/USAMPS-100HC-Super-rar...1QQcmdZViewItem

Is this amp still made? if so where can I get one? and price on it?

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

somebody got pics of the guts i may be getting the amp in a week or 2,all they got on realm of excursion isthe 05-06 models

i need a us amp md2d very very soon for the 15s, who knows where i can get one from for cheap would really appreciate it trying to spend like 350 checked ikesound they had one for $299 but the pic didn't look like the one i want but the title said it was right so please help

well someone finally broke into my truck and walked off with my us amp 2000... it was in an impound lot. the best part was i didnt have a cd player in my truck, so after my pops picked it up and i was in school all week, i came home to my amp missing, i filed a report with the police dept. and they plan to help me out, so hopefully i'll be able to get some money out of this and buy another one.. or maybe one of them new us amps.. oh well.

Trying to decide for subs.I am going to put one to a (two subs two amps) 13w7.What is the difference between the merlin and the Ax line, I know that the Ax line is the top line but how comparable is the merlin line
