US AMPS

Are the amps that were shown at CES going to be released? Namely the merlins that are going into the old school looking sinks. I've been holding off purchasing my amp because I'd like to get one of the new merlins when it comes out to power my substage

I have an i/s 4065 and am debating whether or not to run this for my Z6 comps. It would have to be bridged and that would be at 3ohms...is this possible for the 4ohm stable amp or a definite no-go? Thanks

Hey by Jan 2006 the new website is hopefully going to be posted up. Ive seen the basic layout, and i must say its very nice. there is still time, and i was wondering what you pple would like to see on the site. here are some ideas to start off: More specs on amps (Dimensions, Crossovers, etc.) Install Pictures In Depth pix of the amps Descriptions of the amps .... feel free to give your ideas!

So against my better judgement I bought a used US-AMPS DE-3000 off of ebay. The seller had over 200 positive feedbacks and no negs, and the price was too good to pass up; and the seller was NOT the guy-who-might-be-milo in the thread below. When I got it and hooked it up, it belched white smoke before I even put a load on it. One of the capacitors inside actually caught on fire, without blowing the fuse I was using to protect the amp, which was a first for me. Anyway, is there any easy way to look at the components used and verify that it was an original US-amps product? It has obviously been repaired once at least because the caps don't all match, thermal goo was appl…

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 might be getting a us amps, merlin m2.d2 for my fi Q, just wondering how low of an impedance it can handle. Seeing if i can get 2000+ watts out of it @ 14.4v.

Wondering if these specs on this sub is available. its a dual 1.1 Electrical Q Value -Qes: ?? Mechanical Q Value -Qms: ?? Total Speaker Q Value -Qts: ?? Free Air Resonance -Fs: ?? Hz Equivalent Compliance -Vas: ?? liters One-Way, Linear Excursion -Xmax: ?? mm Efficiency -SPL 1W/1m: ?? dB SPL Effective Piston Area -Sd: ?? cm^2 DC Resistance -Re: ?? ohm Nominal Impedance -Znom: ?? ohm Thermal Power Handling -Pe: ?? W Force Factor -Bl: ??

I just purchased a set of XXX6.5 components from RE and would like to run it active. Would you guys be able to give the the ideal crossover points at what slope to run the mids and the tweeters ? There was no white paper/specs that was included in the box my gear consists of Alpine 9887 Audison VR209 (200w x 2 @2ohms) to the Mids Audison VR203 (70w x 2 @2ohms) to the tweeters Audiosystem amp 780watts@2ohms RE SE12 @ 1.1cuft sealed box Thanks and hoping for a quick reply

I want to fit better quality tubes to a TU-600, do I need to re-set the bias/plate voltages or are the pre-amp tubes auto-biasing? if so where to I tweek the levels and where to I measure. thanks.

this is probably dumb but this is my first us amp and i noticed that on my md1d there are 2 channels even thought it is sold as a mono amp. my question is most amps i have owned had the bridged output marked on the amp. this one doesn't. can i just use a positive off one channel and negative off the other? does it matter which? thanks in advance for helping the newbie.

What makes a AX2000HC worth $1000 more than a AX2000? I know that volts x amps = watts. I have been told that a AX2000 produces 600 watts at 4 ohms and that a AX2000HC provides 150 watts at 4 ohms. I don't understand. Does the High Current amplifier have a extremely low voltage? Does the AX200HC have a much better power supply contained in the same size package? What IS the difference? I know from experience that US Amps builds a heavy duty amplifier, but specs don't help me understand what I am getting for my money.

I'm looking for a U.S. Amps Optimizer. Anyone selling one? Anyone ever use one? Is it worth it? Does it do a good job.? What do you guys think? Let me know please.

hallo, im new on this forum im from the netherlands and im i litle us amp colector i'm looking for info about my hobby so thats wy im on this forum plaese check out my pics en tell wath's your opinion maby you have a collection yourself please show it i love them sorry for my inglish Thats my usa 400 and my vlx 25 thats my 100hc an my usa 400 again

When is US amps going to update the web site? I hate the one thats up now? Can we call and make a complaint? lol

Both Mrd-m1005 (alpine) and Usa 2000x produce 1000W as I have the Usa running on one channel (time being). However, the Usa blows the Alpine out of the water. I am also getting less dimming then I did with the Digital amp which seems ass backwards to me. Can anyone shed some light so I can understand this more? Thanks Btw, I love this amp!

im thinking about picking 2 up, each will be at a .7 load (before rise) does anyone have a real world spec's on them and where is a good place to pick them up?

Just as the title states... Who wins in terms of SQ? In my eyes, the prices are comparable, and I've heard good about both. I'm leaning towards going with the USamps XT series over the GTO's... One major issue that shouldn't be so major is the looks... The GTO's a gawdy, and the XT's are plain & simple. Any thoughts or input on the comparison?

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 got 2 of the USA 700T or T700 ..whatever they are...havnt got them installed yet...wont be able to for a couple more weeks... I wanted to use them cause they were efficient and wouldnt kill my electrical system... wondered if anyone had some and wanted to know how they sound..... I have 2 identical with the spacer to join them so they look like one big amp.... thanks Mike

I've run the ed's before and they are solid and seem to be a great value. Looking at the IS 2080 for front comps and the 2200 for subs or the ed nine.2 and nine.2x. What do you guys think? The setup will be CDT EF 61 Neo comps up front and 2 10's sealed but not sure which ones.

I am just wondering how the new XT series and VLX series amps are compared to some of the amps from the past. I am looking at these amps and they are a steal for the power they claim to put out and the efficiency they claim. If someone could tell me how they are now I would greatly appreciate it and also if someone could explain to me what some of the differences are between the VLX and XT series amps are because spec. wise they look very similar but their is a $100 price difference.

It just fried and I wanna know where and how much it would cost to get it repaired. I just PM'd flakko about it and I hope theres a warranty that comes with it. but if not im going to have to cough up the cash and get it fixed.

How low can a MD2 get? And power it will be putting out?

yeah, i let my buddy borrow my 600x and now it wont turn on.. nothin on the board looks cooked... flacko get at me, i'mma have to send this sucker in for repairs.

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.
