I've owned 4 different U.S. amps (3 sub amp (2-channel) and 1 (4 channel) they have all been underrated and had great sound quality. Very stable too. The first one I had was old school and I was running it at 1 ohm with the gains pretty much maxed (yeah, I was totally a newb). It got HOT but never once shut down. Great amps. Flakko can get you a really good deal and he gets the stuff to you fast. I bought a 4 channel from him about 8 months ago.

You could try an older style one too. I see them on ebay all the time. They go for good prices. Try different variations of the name thats how I find good deals.

I have the md2d.

 

[SlickCMRick 10+ year member]

how much power does the md2d put out at 1 ohm? incase my opti cant be fixed, im looking for an amp to run my two eclipse ti's with a minimum of 2000w. 2500w would be the max i would want to send those subs.

Which US AMP will fit the description?

 

[baseballer1100 5,000+ posts]

prolly the md3d although i have seen where the md2d has put pout 1950 watts at 1 ohm.

The Sundown I think is comparable to the US amps MD2 or the AX1500DE. But good luck finding the AX line in the net!

The MD1D will def. give out 1000+ at 12V.

I have a MD1D BNIB that I let go for $340 shipped. Its the most recent model. There two different versions. One is the 05' and the late 06' with reworked internals. They both appear identical from the outside.

anyone have specs on the md3d? ive searched and cant find anything..........

 

[asaner85 10+ year member]

I can't speak for all US Amps.

But I used to own a md2, and the sundown amp I have now I like a lot more. But for $350 you probably aren't talking about the md2.

The sundown I wire to .5 ohms no problem, but the md2 I used to have got pretty warm at .5. Also, the 1500d seems to have a little more juice than the md2 had. But that was probably just because of the stock electrical system I was running them off of. With proper electrical systems, they probably would have put out right around the same amount of power.
