I have been offered a trade of a new in box Earthquake D3 for my mint condition US Amps 4000X.
My only use for the 4000X is competitions and I have the alternator and batteries to support it's hunger.
What would you guys do?

batteries?? and when u say alternator u mean u gonna run the car during the competition? having multiple batteries and having the car on would put u in a pertty high class for spl competitions, atleast it wouldu for db drag. and with only one 4000x i'd say it will be very hard to be competative (maybe on the local level when u are the only guy in the class).
i say u tradet hat 4000x and get a D3. Run D3 at 0.5 ohm for comps.

The 4000x is 4 ohm mono stable.... not 2ohm.
His problem seems to be he doesnt think he is getting enough power from it...but when asked, he didnt tell me why he didnt think he got all the power.
It is a 4000watt amp that can do that much RMS power in short bursts only. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps it needs higher voltage to do so.
phiberoptic: I would really recommend emailing US AMPS and asking them what your amp needs to get the full power. That amp should be a true beast for burps.
Best of luck.
