A friend of mine is wanting to run one of these two amps for a pair of Kicker CVX12(D4). US Amps XT4000D is a little bit cheaper with 1500 W RMS @ 1 ohm, while the kicker 1250 W RMS @ 1 ohm. Each Kicker 12" he plans to run can handle 750 W RMS.

Which is the better choice?

Does anyone know about the US Amps Xterminator series? Are they as good as the other US Amps I've heard people talk about on this forum?

Also, how much does the Signal to Noise Ratio matter for amps of this quality? The aforementioned US Amps has a rating of 80db while the kicker is rated for >98dB. It's my understanding that the higher the number the better quality of sound. Is this correct?

What kind of budget is he working with? I can give you a deal on a Sundown audio SAZ-1500D.

Anything US Amps makes is good. The AX series is their top of the line, excellent quality. Their other lines are also good though.

Of the two, the kicker is the better all around amp. And SSA sells the XT line, so that is saying something.

Kicker definitely takes the cake in quality. I would put my money it as well for power output.

kicker is great, they make totally solid amps also.

but with us amps history, i just always like them. i owned a few, too. one of the first amps i ever owned. solid amps and huge wires inside... :-)

going with the kicker amp would be cool anyways because it matches the subs... :-)

problem is that you're comparing lower end us amps against kicker's best amp.

Merlin line should be better or equal to kicker SX in terms of quality, but in this case, i'd pick kicker instead of XT line

Because the Sundown was not asked about. If he asks about a Sundown I can help.

What about sundown? I was blown away after seeing the sundown amp gutz, it's clear that sundown makes a nice solid quality amp. Is $599 the best deal for a Sundown audio SAZ-1500D?

The Kicker SX1250.1 is factory refurbished with 90 day warranty. Comes factory sealed with birth date cert. Would "refurbished" product worry anyone?
