US Amps: Old School or New School???

I was thinking about doing a Soundsplinter RL-p 15 and maybe another one when i can afford another one... They have DVC 2ohm and DVC 4ohm rated for 600-700w RMS but can do 1000w daily

Either amp will work depending on what VC configuration you get on the subs...

The MD2 will work fine for those. Just get the DVC 4 ohm model wired @ 2 ohm. And when you get the second one, run them combined at 1 ohm.

thats alot of us amps power lol... i have a old school 400 and 400x sittin in my garage waitin on a project to come some time soon... might sell one of them though to fund a 20.1. They are nice amps, usually when someone breaks down and trys them they end up stayin with them. Look at djgtsr..... that dood loves them so much i hear he is planning on having a usamps themed wedding...

Do you think that since the USA-2000 is an AB class amp that it wouldn't be as clean as a Class D amp???

AB is cleaner but D requires less power (more efficient). But the difference in how clean it is will not be noticable in a sub.

Well this is off topic but I've heard a Kenwood 2-channel amp power subs and it was gross... I mean there was nothing clean about it... like i said... Kenwood

Kenwood and US Amps. 2 totally different classes of amps here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Of course the install will make a huge difference on how clean it sounds.

Yeah, one of the few amps I would compare a US Amps to is Zapco.
