I'd have to look at the specs a little closer, but from just looking at the pics of the panel and the adjustment it looks as if you have pretty poor adjustablitly for the individual channels. Only single LPF and HPF adjustments and not very good looking.

No comparison between the US Amp and MA Audio. I have access to MA Audio and they are ok for a budget oriented amp but can't hold a candle to US Amps.
I have access to US Amps but they are kind of iffy on inventory when I order so I don't put them on the website. Great amps though!

Kee do u have anything in the $120 range? The XT800.4 used to be $120 but i guess the V3 is now $200 :/ looking for about 75watts rms x 4. I have elemental design midwoofers and alpine type r spr17s components.

I wouldn't really say that MA sucks... I've been running them in the wifes car for 5 years now and sound just as good when I got them (I have 2x JL Audio 12's in my car). Their "Hard Core" line is pretty decent, but I wouldn't say they are the best. I'm running their 1400w Hard Core amp with 2x 12" XL's and sound almost as good a my JL setup. But no, MA Audio can't hold a candle to US Amps, apples to oranges.

I just installed the USAmps 800.4 v2 and I love it. Incredible amp and you can get one pretty cheap on ebay around $160 shipped. Go for it as they are wayyyy better then the MA's.

Yeah their HIGH end stuff if decent, but I would still try to stay away from it.
