calling all us amps owners

[kurtdirt1 10+ year member]

Okay I have the opportunity to pick up a US AMPS MD-42 for $175 new locally. It's the one pictured in this photo MD-42 - US Amps 4 Ch MD Series Amplifier

I did a few searches and it seems that they can be had for about $200 or so shipped online. So here's my question, will this amp do rated power and does anybody have experience with them? I have been out of the car audio scene and came across a thread that stated us amps got bought out? Somebody steer me in the right direction please. thanks in advance

It seems that this amp is underrated based on its fuse rating of 90amps but as everyone knows fuse ratings don't always mean everything. Thanks again everyne

The Merlin series amps are nice.

Thank you for your input. Can somebody chime in on the rated power vrs real power? Am I going to be seeing more power, rated power or whatnot?

So no-one has ran an md-42 on here? If anybody here has please get me some feedback on it.

These amps do rated power... so rated=real world.

Merlins...

Yes

Im actually considering trying one myself. Be a nice pair with my old school 2000x

Id go for it and let us know how it works out. Visually inspect the amp board before you go ahead and throw the cash for it.
