4000D Photos?

[Impact9 0]

I'm trying to find some good photos of recent productions of the XT4000D. Reason being is that I think this guy sold me a counterfeit amp. I'm going to post pictures of this suspect in a few minutes. I was just here hoping to find something that might help me prove this fake. I did at least buy it on my credit card so I'm safe there.

Notice in this image the bevel on the heat sink is very sharp. On my other Exterminators this bevel is smooth, more rounded over. The camera seems to be taking some of the edge off but it is quite, for the lack of a better word, sharp.

Sorry for the inverted image, my amps are mounted vertially.

This is where the real problem lies. The speaker label is missing the bridged mode graphics. I tried running the amp bridged with a 4 ohm load and it just won't work. I run it off 1 channel with the 4 ohm load and it will work.

If anyone has anything they can share please do.

Ok I just found a post by jrlutor and if my research is correct, is the VP for US Amps

Did US AMPS remove the bridged graphics and case bevel?

I really hate this crap, no online manuals and you have to dig through this board looking for clues.

Wait until flakko can check this out. He might be able to find out for sure.

looks exactly like mine bought from a US amps dealer shipped directly from US Amps

the bolded part is funny as its a monoblock

Yep, and as such, the terminals are parallel internally, and there is no such thing as bridged mode on a monoblock.

unless your strapping a set of amps and you have to bridge em / like my Massive P3000.1

is really 2 - P1500d's in one case strapped internally so i have 1ohm per ch or 2ohm bridged

Uhm it's a mono block there is no "bridge mode" it is wired parallel internally.....

EDIT : Damn didn't read 90accordman posts i went straight to posting what i noticed right off the bat

Thanks guys saves me and the seller some headaches.

Far as bridged goes, only reliable image source I have is usamps.com. Their pics show bridged on the terminals, hence my confusion. Plus the lack of the correct manual for the amp didn't help me as a first time mono block buyer.

No problem man that's what "we" are here for

If you do want to use it like a"bridge" type mode

I called Greg at US amps about this question.. just use right positive and left negative..

No added gain anywhere other then the fact that speaker 2 input doesn't look out of place...

[zaxfire69 0]

Yeah that looks just like mine..And as far as hooking the amp up in bridge..Just wire your speakers for one ohm and use either of the speaker outputs. The amp is bridged internally so if you hook it up to channel 1 it will already be bridged to one ohm. Same for channel 2 doesn't matter.I am satisfied with my amp, Now if I could just get my Voltage right to keep up with the amp...

I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING INTRESTING:

none of the Mono-bolco amps iv used had fuses...

PPi / SoundStream / Massive /

i did have a Directed 1100d that had fuses !

your 4000d has fuses !

why have my amps NO Fuses ???

Some amps are fused internally. My PG ti600.2 is like that. There is no external fuse.

Good idea really, keeps the dough heads from changing them out to make more m4dtyt3pow4
