Us Amps XT4000D vs. Kicker SX1250.1
|
New member Username: Smoking_bullWichatitty, Kansas USA Post Number: 2 Registered: May-07 | A friend of mine is wanting to run one of these two amps for a pair of Kicker CVX12(D4). US Amps XT4000D is a little bit cheaper with 1500 W RMS @ 1 ohm, while the kicker 1250 W RMS @ 1 ohm. Each Kicker 12" he plans to run can handle 750 W RMS. Which is the better choice? Does anyone know about the US Amps Xterminator series? Are they as good as the other US Amps I've heard people talk about on this forum? |

New member Username: Smoking_bullWichatitty, Kansas USA Post Number: 3 Registered: May-07 | Also, how much does the Signal to Noise Ratio matter for amps of this quality? The aforementioned US Amps has a rating of 80db while the kicker is rated for >98dB. It's my understanding that the higher the number the better quality of sound. Is this correct? |

Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Fi Car Audio has got m... Post Number: 1527 Registered: Aug-06 | kicker is great, they make totally solid amps also. but with us amps history, i just always like them. i owned a few, too. one of the first amps i ever owned. solid amps and huge wires inside...  going with the kicker amp would be cool anyways because it matches the subs... |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 4599 Registered: Dec-05 | problem is that you're comparing lower end us amps against kicker's best amp. Merlin line should be better or equal to kicker SX in terms of quality, but in this case, i'd pick kicker instead of XT line |

New member Username: Smoking_bullWichatitty, Kansas USA Post Number: 4 Registered: May-07 | What about sundown? I was blown away after seeing the sundown amp gutz, it's clear that sundown makes a nice solid quality amp. Is $599 the best deal for a Sundown audio SAZ-1500D? |

New member Username: Smoking_bullWichatitty, Kansas USA Post Number: 5 Registered: May-07 | The Kicker SX1250.1 is factory refurbished with 90 day warranty. Comes factory sealed with birth date cert. Would "refurbished" product worry anyone? |
