hey guys i have a slight problem...

driving down the road bumping at like 48(deck goes to 60) amp turns off all of sudden pull over check my fuses everything is good... amp is still not on after checking everything... get home and theres no burnt smell or anything... i will investigate further but is it blown?

could be blown, however I would check over your power and grounds throughly, maybe a remote wire came off as well?

 

im for sure sketchy on the remote turn on cuz i had to splice the wires together so im for sure hard wiring it to at least see if the light turns on... i believe its the u.s.amps 100x or whatever... one of the good ones.. does like 1200rms

 

yeah for sure, check out the wiring when you get a chance,

 

to check to see if its somehow ur remote wire take a small piece of wire and run it from ur power wire to the remote wire. u dont have to screw them in just touch them together. if ur amp turns on then thats the problem. if not then maybe a bad ground.

does the protect light come on?

 

i literally just did that and the light came on... theres no protect light on usa-400... unless its underneath but ive never seen it ever turn on so yes im extremely happy its not blown... i love this amp its legendary to bad i cant bridge another one

thanks again guys shouldve checked everything first i guess lol my bad...

thanks
mike

 

You can. The hifonics maxxlink - mlx-100 lets you bridge(strap), two normally unstrappable amps together.

 

is there size ratings to this piece? Does it just take each output signal and parrellel them together in phase?

sorry to highjack the thread, but it seems you got your issue cleared up.

 

Don't know about the power ratings. Probably not, you can link the maxxlinks...(thats alot of amps!!!) On how it works..I'm assuming so, it's all through the RCA's as far as the maxxlink is concerned, then theres a jumper wire between the amps. If you look up youtube maxxlink videos, there one from the maker. Install/setup etc..

To the OP - I recently got one to link our 2 US Amps XT2000's, will allow us to run 3 subs at 1.33 load for .67 at both amps
