Im looking into an Arc Audio 1500-XXK

im worndering is it stable at 1ohm nominal or for 1ohm nominal usage in SPL? Also, does it do rated?

or would a US amps MD2 be a better idea?

talk to steve, i believe he owns both amplifers

If it does, i would definitely choose the ARC.

eh, deal is already going down with the MD2 because i'd rather be safe. I KNOW the MD2 can handle 1ohm without killing itself. and it saves me $50

Safer is better than cheaper!

ARC only hedges US by 20.

huh?

Arc edges out US amps in what? power?

If i knew Arc was 1ohm stable (which doing some research it is NOT and no reliable sources of it being run at 1ohm and being stable) i would get it.

I KNOW the MD2 is 1ohm stable. USamps is a GREAT company and the MD2 has the power i was looking for both at 1 and 4ohm.

1ohm for SPL with the Death Penulty 1ohm with the DP for daily (or 1ohm with the gains down) and 4ohm for the Avalanche untill i get the DP and after im done with the DP. That and MOST drivers now a'days that i would be interested in are dual 2ohm or are offered in dual 2ohm.

I would like to try out an Arc, but ive always like USamps ever since they where bassed out of gainsville which is 30min from me. My two favorite companies are USamps and Tru Tech...and trutech = too expensive and hard to find

Dunno where the f that all came from. So ill type it again and add a few more words since you seem to be temporarily reading comprehension impaired.

Its better to be safe than sorry. AND Safer = better than cheaper, which the ARC is, but by only 20 bucks. 20 bucks isnt worth wondering if the POS will up and fail. I agree.

Art has hammers NIB for 750 on Elite. Not really a bad rpice.

I was agreeing with you.

Nor has my buddies, but the MD is techincally stable at the desired ohms.
