You got pics right?

They sorta look silver in this pic. but they are the polished sinks.....not shown are the two sink links I recently picked up...I'm gonna run three in the F150 the badges arn't attached except on the baby US....current plans for new install will be a 100HC on three rare DD 1008b's with an Audio control Epicenter....The middle size US amp on my door speakers which consist of a set of yellow cone Pioneer REV 6x8's ..the Baby US right side on the center ch left side on rear fill going through a vintage BNIB Audio Control ESP3.

I have several EQs so undecided on that as of now....but most likely an Audio Control EQL on the door speakers.

Hopefully this will give me a decent daily beater in my hunting truck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

my old school US 100HC's put out more power

Nope, try again. According to US Amps anyway.

From what their specs claimed in the auction which was 1600 iirc but most likely under rated. Mine will do 2000+ at 1ohm I've heard of power figures on mine or 2000x's at close to 3000 at full power but who knows...I figure mine will be plenty for 3 lttle 8's

A 100HC is rated (BY US AMPS) 800x1 @ 1ohm

A VLX 200 is rated (BY US AMPS) 1600x1 @ 1ohm. Both are underrated, but US Amps even rates the VLX at twice the power of the HC. Pretty simple math and reading. Nice amps by the way.

there were only 4 100HC's like mine ever built before the US Amps buyout ....mine are built on a US Amps 2000x board....the others are not...the ones before mine put out half as much power I'm not sure what board they used.....

pic to link of a typical US Amps 100hc look at that board it is rated 800 at 1ohm

Interesting............so basically, you don't have a production 100HC. And that should have been stated when you said that your 100HC put out more than a VLX 200. Maybe i should put a Sundown 3000d board in an old 250HCCA heatsink and tell everyone that a 250HCCA will do 3000w @1 ohm.......

mine is a production US Amps 100hc as I stated you can not run a 2000x at 1ohm mono you can run my 100hc at 1ohm mono...there were 4 made before the buyout it was the newest 100Hc made before the buyout...US Amps only made 4 before they were bought out and productions were moved to China. So mine is one of the rarest production US Amps amplifier ever made. It is not a custom made or a prototype amp

I know the thread is in Amplifier section but I have threw in a few pics of nice old school decks and processors...since the thread topic is Old School Collectors thread....I'd consider these all collectible car audio as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
