  • used 2 be a great company. the new $hit is junk. designed and engineered in the US, assembled in china

  • the new us amps are not like the old ones i only use the old ones

  • U S AMPS is da shyt!!

  • NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING BEATS A US AMP.. THE FIRST GEN TO SECOND.. THE LOWSET OHM EVER

  • Amps in the late 80s-Early 90s; Designed and Handcrafted in the USA . Amps today; Designed and Engineered in the USA....Built in Long Duck Dong,s factory. Too Bad.

  • Dude, I was running 2 US amps HC-200's at 1/8th of an ohm back in 1996. By the look's of the inside of your amp; they don't make 'em like they used to.

  • hey how did u wire the amp? theirs 2 power, 2 ground, 1 rem and 1 aux i dk what to hook up

  • You didn't blow them because of the .2 ohm load. The FETs could handle that. However, they can't handle a 17 volt input because of the way the power supply works. They are rated for 50V, but you actually reach around 70V peak across the MosFet's body diode, shorting it. Another way amps die is that the toroid core saturates under a very high current load. The toroid then looks like a dead short to the FETs. A larger transformer will not saturate and the FETs will live - at least a little longer.

  • your looking at the inside of an amp...

  • what am I looking at in the end of this video??
