My US Amps USA-400 has been pushing 1000 watts RMS+ for going on 13 years now.. Still has never failed me. Its in my Titan right now but is turned down pretty far as the pair of 8s in there only need 400 watts between them. Of course with just 400 watts they completely blow away the single JL 12W3v2 that was in there before... FYI JimRHIT is the poop...thanks for the subs bro..

Mia,
dude I still have two older USA-400's with the built in wires...man I used to compete with those things and to this day they still work perfectly.....i had a nice set of US Amps for a system i was planning on doing...but if you look closely @ BamBam's trunk you'll see why I can't use them!

US Amps rock...people think they suck bush when i tell them the name....then they google it and see what i'm talking about

NOICE!!! My US Amps isn't THAT old that it has wires built in but she's not a spring chicken either. Takes 3 8 AWG power inputs and runs 3 8AWG grounds... No built in crossover, just straight power... I love that thing...

This was before I switched to the JBL 8s.

LOL you got the current part right for sure. The white papers on my amp showed 1200 watts rms with 146 amps of current draw. I run a 150 amp fuse at the battery...
