Power: 300wx2 @ 4 460wx2 @ 2 960wx1 @ 4

one on each type r 10 dual 2 ohm so they will get rated 960 @ 4 but who knows what they will really see...... too much?

or 2 md 22's

200wx2 @ 4 310wx2 @ 2 650wx1 @ 4

Not if you do not max out the gains on the amps and try to drive the subs into the ground. You have more than enough power though and would be fine to have some in reserve allowing the amps to run less hot and more efficiently. I would run the 960x1@4 on each sub.

why dont you run a md1d or a md2d?

Either one will work as long as you know what you are doing. I would personally just go with the 22. Let me know if you want a 23 though because I have one BNIB that I do not need anymore because my plans changed.

its ALWAYS (i guess?) better to have excess power on tap if you know what you are doing. amp will work less, run cooler, and more efficiently.

i vote 2 23's

i just hope US is still as good as it use to be, i ran them a long long time ago and they were the cleanest amps i had at the time......looks like the 23's are gonna win

thanks

I think the quality went down on the US amps over the years. The XT series are pretty good but entry level, the MD series are good, and the AX are very good but get very pricey.
