PardeTime Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Ok so I just picked up a new amp... Its a us amp series merlin m2d2. Im wondering what you guys think about switching it with the one I have now.. Which is an american bass This is the us amp http://www.rickiesdiscountelectronics.com/us-amps-md-2d-1500w-rms-merlin-2-series-mono-block-subwoofer-amplifier-17192.html This is the american bass I am running now. http://www.americanbassusa.com/product.detail/product_id/141 The subs I have are the RE audio SE Pro Series, 600 watts rms. Wired at 1 ohm. The last comp I was at I had the american bass clamped and it only pushed 1300 watts. Im just wondering if its worth it to switch it up or not. One of the main reasons is because the american bass doesnt take 0 gauge wire so i had to shave it down to get it into the amp. Also its a division of RE, so it would "match" my subs in a way... Let me know what you think.. Thanks!
Skullz Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Flip a coin for your choice as you won't really gain much with 200w to 300w from one amp or the other. Go with what ever one makes installing it easier and capable of using what you have. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
PardeTime Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Posted September 1, 2012 Is one more efficient or less power hungry than the other? Do you know if the us is truly 1500 watts rms?
Skullz Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 US Amps probably won't do rated as it is only fused for 120a but to be quite honest your best bet is to just try each one out and see which one you like better regardless if it matches everything you currently have. If you feel you need more power than sell those off and get something bigger to replace it with. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
Tim Lam Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 American bass is more dependable. i would switch if you are too tight on money.
PardeTime Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 Ended up making some money by selling the us amp, I havnt had any issues with the american bass, it also looks better. Thanks for your opinions guys.
