US Amps MD-3D vs. Kicker 2500.1

[the727kid 10+ year member]

Any input on this? I am going to be running 4 of either amp, I can get the md3 a lil bit cheaper and like the design on them much better, but numbers are 500 less than the Kickers. Each one would be powering a HDC3 15. I am open to other amp choices as well.

I forgot to mention I can get the MD3 from an authorized dealer and the cheapest for the 2500.1 is like $150more off eBay.

I would go with the md3d.. Nothing wrong with a 2500.1 though.

Depending on the subs you plan to run, I say it's not worth the extra money for the Kicker. If it is at all like my MD2D then it is somewhat underrated as well.

different amps that makes power at different impedance, not really a fair comparison. But i'd go with the kicker, give u more headroom and they can be ran at 1ohm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

md3, id take the usamp over the kicker all day. im not one for running a 2 ohm amp at 1ohm daily.

 

[dragnix 5,000+ posts]

but would u run that us amp at 0.5ohm?

 

[90accordman 5,000+ posts]

nope

****, i was hoping u would say yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Oh well, i like to run them low, but that's just me i guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
