Just wondering about the 1000watts RMS

[RangerSVT]

I used them when I was in competition back in 97-98, and no other could come close to them...I have all old school amps, and there website ( www.usamps.com ) don't have a link to them anymore. This is the closest I could find to the specs of what I have...I have the 1999 models, not all of them are there, but you get the idea

The VLX-400 is the largest amp in the world (at the time of production 1999), measuring in at 44 inches long, power is fed my four 8 gauge power and four 8 gauge ground wires, and speaker wires are four 8 gauge wires, all coming out of the amp for hard wire. With a power consumption of 400 amps at 1 ohm at 12 volts, this amp is capable of 1/4 ohm mono, and with every volt increase above 12 volts, these amps will produce aproximately 30% more power, so at 14 volts the actual power at 1 ohm mono is 3840 RMS watts, 7680 @ 0.5 ohm mono, and 15,360 RMS watts @ 0.25 ohm mono Most of you may call BS, but for those that know US Amps, they are a power house!! Go to the12volt.com and ask them about the old school US Amps, the famous VLX-400 and see what they say!!

bet that wasent cheap!!!

just did some research of that vlx-400, not doubting you or trying to degrade that amp, but all i could find was stable to .5 ohm and around 3600rms, still no small amp, but not nowhere the 15000 rms you posted.

What??

so how do you get on the sub listing for the tag? i just loaded up a system thats putting just over 1000

After doing some research, I was off of the power numbers, but is still up there. Highest I have seen so far is 5600 at 0.5, but I have heard of competitors getting 9600 out of this amp, here are a couple links. It is only factory rated @ 2400 @1 ohm mono @ 12.6 volts with 0.006 THD, but it is very under rated

Here is the specs for the USA-400X that I am runing in my truck now
