there are no specs on the link. Not to bust on you, but it might be better to ask if something is good BEFORE you buy it

he had his mind set on that, he was just curious if anyone else has tried it and how it worked because he hasnt received it yet and cant wait until he gets it. so he wants to here what other people have to say.

I just received the amp actually.

I have not installed it yet. I know i should have asked first but not a bad price. I found the msrp to be like 380 or so.

i just wanna know if anybody has used this amp or have even used any of teh new us amps.

I know the old ones are badass, not sure about teh new ones thats why i ask

i really would have saved my money and bought a md2 or md3 .....those are the budget/cheap made us amps.....they are no where near as good as the old school us amps they made back in the day.......i think the xt line is made in china....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif...they are not ces rated ....

good luck getting 500 watts out of it....the xt4000d only puts out around 900 watts kicking and screaming....

XT is US Amps' crappy line, especially for the price. Newer US Amps, you don't really get what you pay for. Unlike the good old days. Those amps were beasts.

But to the OP, I think it's best if you sold that amp and go find something else that'll be better for the price.

i actually have this amp and i am running 2 10"s off it. its my first system though so i dont have anything to compare it too. It seems to run pretty good i have never had any problems with it. some days it seems to play a little louder than others but i dont know if that is the subs or the amp.

Really not a bad amp... The whole line isn't bad. I've installed several of them and they're fairly nice... XT2000d will get around 900W RMS and the XT4000d around 1200W RMS... No they're not rated, however they put out some nice power. My partner installed a xt4000d in an Infiniti QX4 with 2 TC-1000 and it was hell... Really not bad amps for the price however they are budget amps...

Those are the lowest line. I have used many US Amps in the past, I hear these are poop though. I would have saved and got a Merlin...
