welll the us amps do not have an crossover ( I think) And also they are like 600 pound women at an all u can eat buffet, when it comes to power. But what is ur price range.

cus the memphis belle can get down.

been offered an used ag650 $475 shipped, any good? and can get used x5600 a little cheaper

welll like i said the us amps will not have an crossover and will be very power hungry. But both are great amps so u chose.

soz i dont know much about the car audio thing..but i found the US x5600 spec and it does have Variable 24dB Two-Way Active Crossover, is it the thing ur talking about? thanks

OK now i researched it. The 650.6 has more crossover options. But the the Us amps has an subsonic filter. But has no high-pass crossover. Just mostly low past. But there is more to consider Like, How much room do u have, cus that zapco amp is long as hell. But the us amps is smaller but is power hungry. oh and also that us amp would be my choice but i would reccomend gettin and external crossover. That us amps has .006% thd at its rated RMS power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is an clean *** amp and plus i kno it do its rated power.

thanks a lot for the quich reply //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif

could u explain a little more about the'power hungry' comment? cos i think the rated power r not that much different

US AMP:90 Watts x 4 and 350 Watts x 1 into 2 Ohms

Zapco:Stereo, 2 ohms: 6x104 Watts Bridged, 2 ohms: 1 sub x 325 Watts

well us amp are great amps i mean wonderful underrated power but they have always been power hungry. Which means that it will draw alot of current.

oops misunderstanded //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif

the sub channel is rated @300w rms @ 2ohm, i was going 2 get a kappa perfect12.1 350w rms, do u think the us amps could b ok with that ?

yeah, the us amp will pound the shit out of those subs. But like i said before, be shure u have an external crossover for ur fornt stage and rear fill. That us amp might even be 1 ohm stable.
