Posted December 4, 200519 yr 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 distribution blocks lol!
December 4, 200519 yr Author I cant wait man... whens this gonna be?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>lol Tomorrow... I just need some of those fork like connectors.

Why the double power and ground, and do I have to wire that way?
December 4, 200519 yr to ensure ample current flow in and out of the amp. i can't be certain, but if you pull the bottom cover and look, you will be able to tell if you have both +'s and -'s internally connected on the board. if they're connected (which that's all i have personally seen that i can recall anyway), then you don't "have to have" both hooked up. but it is always better if you do.you can always just hook up one + and - and see if both sides of the amp work. if not, then you need both sets hooked up.
December 5, 200519 yr Author Well I installed the US Amp USA-50 and took the RF 100 out. All I can say is OMG!! lol For this tiny amp (even smaller then the RF) it is very loud! I would say this tiny amp is more on par with the power of my Xtant 604X I had. I am a little freaked now.. If the USA-50 is this loud, I can already tell I am in for a wild ride with all the US Amps I have planned to install. Heck this little 50 was just bought to only run my tweeters, but does an excellent job running my whole CDT set. I think I have found my new Budget advice amp for people now lol! 50 x 2 my butt lol More on par with 75-100 x 2 when compared to other respectable amp companies! You have an instant new fan US Amps!!

December 13, 200519 yr US AMPS are known for giving more than they say. You should try that usa 50 loaded down, if you want to see what more it can do..
