^^^^ X2

Now if that were an SAZ sundown it would be a different story. I'd say those would be on the same level of quality.

Really I would still have a hard time believing the Saz would be on the same level as the Md's

Even though the Saz are very overbuilt..I would rather have a IA20.1 over a Saz1500

IA 20.1 is also an overbuilt very good amp. If I had a choice between 20.1 and SAZ 1500d I'd get whichever cost less.......


Above all I'd take the US Amps for a daily application. But, the two amps mentioned above can be run at extremely low impedances for comps.

The MD-1D doesn't do rated power but the MD-2D and MD-3D do RMS+.

Yes MD-2 and MD-3 are underrated. The MD-1 does about 900w. They are working on an updated version of it that will be underrated like the others.

IMO, I would only say US Amps> Sundown if you are talking about the AX series. Other than that I would say Sundown> US Amps.

Chauncey: nothing wrong with them, I know alot of guys trying to sell the 1500D's to grab the 3000D's. I havn't had a single amp back.

The new Merlins we so good that they killed off AX models. The Sundown amps are very good also. Jacobs customer service is one of the best. Honestly, money not being mentioned it is a win win. SSA is an authorized dealer for both.

You should be good, just make sure connections are clean and your are not over driving the equipment.

is there 2 companys named us amps? i just looked on ebay at some amps and they are very inexpensive. the xt4000d is only 250 shipped. and will do 1500 rms @ 1 ohm!!!!! that seems too good to be true. thats about the same as hifonics in terms of watts per doller.
