Im not familiar with the merlin series, only seen a couple and the werent big wattage amps so i cant judge. But yes the old US amps were bomb *** shit ive seen only 3 in person one was a 2 channel rated at 25 x 2 rms ended up doing around 350 x 2 rms and another was rated like 150 x 2 rms and on 14v did like 700 x 2 rms.

Are you talking about the Merlin MD43 and the like?

I wasnt aware that the newer US amps still carried the Merlin series?

Yes, I am talking about the newer Merlin series. The Merlin 42 or Merlin 2D. How would they compare to the new RF Power series amps?

I'm pretty sure those are the wrong guts, I believe they belong to the 2D and not the 42.

If there the right guts then i would believe it does rated for sure, i mean 75 x 4 with that is esily possible, thats if there the right guts though.
