Pros: good cost/performce ratio, quality construction
Cons: mounting hardware
The Bottom Line: a great amplifier for the price, but there is definetely better. i find this to be an excellent entry level unit with all around good controls and very clear sound.

| the_hamster's Full Review: US Acoustics USX-2050 Car Amp |
I bought this amplifier while searching for something to power my 6X9's. I found the unit at a local chain of audio stores for alot cheaper than similarly rated amps, cheaper enough to make me wonder if it was any good. i tried it out on teh speakers they had there and talked to peopel and couldn't find anythign bad about it, so i picked the unit up. i have no been sorry since, it has put's out very clear signal to my speakers deliver top performance for what i paid for it, i couldn't be happier.
the unit puts out 50watts RMS X 2 channels at 4 ohms, and 100 rms X 2 at 2 ohms. it is bridgeable to power a subwoofer, though i have never used it for this application.
it has a bass boost on it, 0-12dbs. i use this bass boost with my 6X9's and the sound is still clear with it cranked up approxamitely 2/3's. it also has a built in high/low crossover, that i haven't used so i can't comment on it's effectiveness. it also has pre outs, so u can connect another amplifier to it. if u have it powering co-axial speakers u could then connnect an amplifier for your subwoofer to it etc. unfortunaetly the pre-out does go through the cross-over/bass boost, though some may find this to be a bonus instead of a hinderance as i have.
the only downside i have come across so far is that the mounting hard ware it comes with kidna sux, though i easily remidied with some custom brackets etc.
the unit is light and small, not too flashy though i picked up the version of it that has a clear section which glows blue when it is on, there is another version that does not do this, but mines in my trunk so it's irrelavent.
