Someone on the forum said the US Amps XT4000D only put out around 8-900rms. But like the guy above me stated if you want a good budget amp look into the Planet Audio's. The Planet 1250's and 2250's are very good amp's and can be had refurbished on ebay for cheap.

their amps are pretty over rated, but they are cheap and hold up well.

Can't tell you how true this is... DO NOT BUY THE XT4000D UNLESS YOU ONLY NEED 800 RMS.

I made the mistake of buying this amp hoping it could push the advertised 1500 watts, but it definitely CAN'T.

Edit:

Oh and about power acoustik... I had the 3000 (1800w RMS) amp running a 9512f and it sounded great; a little underpowered but still loud as sh**. I would recommend it, especially over the XT4000D.
