US 2000x Amp

Lets see, how to put this kindly to the customer.. umm hes smoking crackFirst off ever US amps Ive owned always did way more the rated power as long as you could provide it with enough juice.Now since power acoustik has overrated equipment in the past, its not outside the relam of possibility that this is the case for their Mofo seriesI would go ahead and hook it all up and run it speakers using this diagramMake sure the gain is set properly and enjoyCase solved--Skold2004 Honda Civic Ex 4Dr

Thats how I would hook it up.  The amp will see a 1ohm load bridged.  Is this going to work?  I don't want this guy coming back with a fried amp next month saying I hooked the amp up wrong.Owner/ Custom Compact Performance

oops didnt catch that the first time, no wire up for an 8ohm load and use the bridged channel on the amp

the 4ohm bridge channel puts out 2000 watts , so 1000 at an 8ohm load would not be that badOr sell him dual 4 ohm subs?

Yes each sub would get 500w. not enough for this kid.  He bought these off line, I'm not a dealer.  What I'm looking for is someone who has hooked this amp up at 1 ohm and did it work?Owner/ Custom Compact Performance

it'd probably work, i just dont know for how long... these are rated at certain loads for a reason.. you start pulling double the juice out of that amp and you run the risk of cooking the circuitry inside. i like to compare it to a motor and exhaust system... if you just run straight pipes on a motor made for stock backpressure, it puts too much out too fast and gets substantially warmer, effectively cooking the exhaust valve.. its the same way with the amplifier. if there isnt enough "backpressure" or impedance, then the current is just running through the sub double as fast and the amplifier will put it out double as fast, but that will generate more heat and cook the amp.

go to http://www.usacoustics.com and call their tech support number. I actually spoke with the owner of the company when I called with a question and he was a really nice guy. Told me exactly what I needed to know also.

Wrong company.  This is a US 2000x.   US AMPS from Florida.  I realize how the impedence on the amp works, but I also know that this is a full comp. amplifier.  So is there anyone who could give a definative answer on whether or not to use this set up?Owner/ Custom Compact Performance

This Kid must be an idiot... That is a very powerful amp. I would sell him a smaller and cheaper amp to keep him from coming back. This amp draws a lot of current and still can be damaged if it is underpowered. If you still want to sell him the amp you should let him know that you are not responsible for it burning up from being underpowered. Here are all of the specs for the amp you are talking about. SA 2000 and 2000X are about the same but have different ohm load specs. Please read all info. just to cover your self from being blamed for a system that does not sound good from being under powered.
