Audiopipe...thoughts?
so I got into a debate with someone on another forum about the audiopipe 1500 watt amp when choosing that or an AQ amp or a Hifonics one. I said the AQ, then Hifonics, Audiopipe I never used or read that many great things about.

just wondering, are these amps all they're cracked up to be? I mean they're crazy cheap for a 1500 watt rms amp, which makes me wonder why not that many people use them (not really, but I'm curious now)

Derek (fox_racin4) had 2 of the AP3000's. They seem to get loud. I don't know about real world power or protection circuitry, but for the $350 for a possible over 2K rms (he says 3K), sounds like they're at least worth the price.

Yeah thats what that other guy was saying. I mean, I'd take my SD over it any day, but I don't see that many AP amps at shows or in people's cars, but that guy was getting riled up as if he owned the company

No I don't think so. I actually have no idea who the guy is, its on a music site, I just sort of drop in as the car audio guy from time to time.

whoever it was started going off about how they did a direct swap from some big 1500 watt amp to the AP on an atomic apx or somthing and said they saw a drop of like .3 db and started quoting impedence rise and all kinda crap. I then told him that on the right electrical the crunch gp2500 does 1700 watts (so I've been told). then he got really upset lol

lol, yep..... when it blows up. One of dereks went about a month or so ago now. Think he said his brother did something stupid and the protection didn't help at all. SO, it's toast.
