- Audiopipe APMI-2000 review and bonus comparison!
On the bench today is my review of the Audiopipe APMI-2000. This is the most popular amp in the APMI line and one of the most popular Audiopipe amp in all of Audiopipe's amplifier lines. This amp is an absolute beast, a total work horse! It does rated or above in all catagories, as recently seen when Ryan Blankenship put it on his bench and did the dyno test! The APMI-2000 cost under $200 and comes with a 1 year warranty when purchased through an authorized dealer. The Audiopipe APMI-2000 packs a lot of power for a price that is borderline ridiculous!

Bass cop I'm so glad to hear that your a Audiopipe dealer someone i can trust , that's awesome man.
Thanks man! Feel free to hit me up for all your AP needs! No rush to do so!
I ordered one after watching Ryan Blankenships video, and am very happy with it. It beats the hell out of my two 12” P3D2’s at 2 ohms and it barely gets warm. Also ordered the APMI4080 after Ryan’s new video to push my mids and highs. First one had a defective crossover switch so I’m waiting for the new one to come in. Very respectable power from such small amps.
Awesome! Welcome to the darkside!
Sir, what LPF Slope for this amplifier.....
I can't wait to hook up my audiopipe 2000 to my 15" Kicker Q-class L7!!!
Hey brother I've got that 2000 watt amp. I've got a question about the wire beside the power block inside with the little wire holder on the side please contact me back.
You talking about the remote input?
Question and forgive my ignorance when it comes to audiopipe, but in a serious SQ guy, so for me low noise floor is extremely important, which is why I have run amps like zapco and Hertz back in the day. Today I'm hearing from local SPL guys that audiopipe amps for sub duty are hard to beat for the money. So what I wanted to know is what series is the top of the line aka their reference line. What I want to find is the amp that is comparable to say a old school Kenwood kac-1023 in performance, not wattage, but you know high current, high dampening factor, I want really good control of the woofer.
It's gonna be tough for any current audio company to compete with the efficiency and damping factor of the old school amplifiers of the day. I would look into the APCLE line and the APHD line. Both lines have some pretty good class A/B amplifiers.
@@Basscop so basically I should look into going with a old school Kenwood or any of those with sigma drive or amps with a triple Darlington setup. Gotcha thanks.
Hey which want you think is better audio pipe amplifier APMN2000 Mini Design Class D or APCLE-15001D Audiopipe Class D
Just depends on what your wanting to push with them. They all have their purpose. Also depends on your budget!
Can I use one of this to push my T2D412.? Also good videos alot of details 👍👍👍
Yes you can, and thanks!
Mike I found a pair of blue Audiopipe sub woofers for sale on Facebook. I was wondering if that line of sub woofer is any good.
That would be the Audiopipe TXX-APCBL line, yes they are a very respectable subwoofer!
I have the grey ones and they hit hard! Don't sleep on these Eye Candy subs. I wish they made 10's and 8's
Awesome info 👍 does audiopipe make a strong 4 channel amp? I'm running Hertz hcx165 coaxial's in the front doors and Hertz sv165 mid's in the rear both being 6.5's. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Just don't try to push them to hard... They overheat... Got fans on mine running 1 ohm.. They do nicely now with some mods to the under bellies.. And have plenty of power to supply it... If you run max wire
Alot depends on where and how they are mounted as well. Alot of people that I see having heat issues end up being ground issues or have them mounted were the air flow isn't great.
Was the 4000 just a limited run. Hard to find. Love your videos.
No, they were made for a few years, but like another of things new ones coming to replace them. They are hard to find now
Do the Bridge in and bridge out RCA outputs allow for daisy chaining a full range signal? or is it just for strapping to an identical amp?
They're for strapping
Is this or the skar rp 2k better? I know both do rated and above, but which is better for sound quality? Which is better on temps? I have batteries and a 250 amp singer alt so i have the power for either one.
The APMI is a very good amp. I cant really compare it to a Skar very well as I have never used any Skar equipment.
Do a review on audiopipe apmn-1300 1000 watts
I'll have to see if I have one
What's the difference between APMI 2000 and APMN 2000??
I ordered the apmi and they sent me the apmn. I know AP company replaced the apmn with the apmi, but are they the same?
The APMN is a better amplifier as it has upgraded Mosfets and Toriods. So it's a win win for you!
Why not touch the bass boost
I ordered like 4 of them for customers and i run one on my daily. Just got 8 12in nvx nsws the amp will power. Im going to see how it dose then get 8 12in ap bd1s. Trying to end up with a all ap build in the end including hu
Awesome! Definitely post up when you do!
Sure will bro 👍
Power is nice with these! But how do they sound compared brands like skar or American bass?
Actually very clean and clear!
I have had skar amps and was not pleased with them. Bought one of these to try and it was night and day between them to me. I will not get skar again.
@@williampatton7163 I have Skar subs and had a Skar Sk series and it started smoking and wasn't really beating it. I'm really considering ordering the Audiopipe
Would this amp be good for two 15 inch dc audio level 3's? Dual one ohms?
Be a good start!
I’m in Delaware Ohio about 20 min north of Columbus I’m needing some car audio equipment installed and I hear you talk about a place near Mansfield?any info would be great thanks
Elite Autoworks, their web link is in the video description
APBlazer6000 ok thanks
Your welcome!
Went.to order another apmi 2000 today because I was going to strap them, guess they not for sale anymore...
They were replaced with the APMN-2000.1
I can use a APMN 4200D for 4 Audiopipe "6"(APMB) 8 Ohm????
Yes
I have Audiopipe TXX-BD3-12 12" 3600W 2 x 4 Ohms which want you think goin better
Either or will work well!
what kind of deal could you get me on a apmi 2k ?
@jason28w PM me on FB messenger
@@Basscop what’s your Instagram or a way I can notify you for pricing and info??
@Ronnie Dickens facebook.com/mike.burba.14
What’s your thoughts on APCLE 3k?
Great amp! Just make sure you have the electrical to support it!
I have the APCLE30001.D. Bad Ass!! But she is power hungry. My 365 amp high output alt just came in. And you'll need an external batt. Awesome amp.
Can this be good for my 6.5 scar speakers it be four of them for the doors or too strong
@Anthony Ruiz yes, it would be way to much for door speakers
Can you run this amp a .5 ohm? I've heard of people doing it, but it would be daily!
You can, it's not recommended unless you have very good electrical!
Dont run it at half ohm it gets really hot
^^ Hence why its important to have good electrical!
@@Basscop i have very good electrical. Ces 80ah lithuim 320 amp ces alt 4 runs 2/0 welding cable front to back big 4 . 4 runs from alt to power. I had the mini 2k rms MMM brand amp mrmusicman same amp different heat sink design. I live here in AZ amd it gets really 114+ degrees
@@HardKnocks160s why all the equipment to run 2k?
You could be up near 10k rms
how do they compare to the apcl 2000 i loved mine but she melted the rail running her at .5 ohm for hours and i cant find the any more is this kind of the same amp?
The APCL line was replaced by the APCLE line. They've never had a 2k in that line. They only 2ks they have is the APDLI line, and the APMI line that is featured in this video
ok i might of had a 1500 idk i dont really like the apcle for some reason it just puts off bad vibes 4 me i guess i will just go with this one. do you live near North Carolina and if so are you going to ruckus and chill this year
No bass boost, explain please, I have the apcl 1000 on a 15" sundown sa
If the amp is properly tuned, there is no need to use bass boost. All bass boost does is add clipping to the signal, and clipping is bad!
@@Basscop I tuned with the smd dd1 and the cc1, I just looked at my settings the bass boast is half way up so I should turn it to 0
Personally I dont use bass boost, never have. It's your system and if you like what it's doing then go for it! But me personally I would set them at 0 and retune them all. I never recommend using bass boost.
@@Basscop ok thanks I'll go turn it off, I like the new build ,looks clean
@@tony187soundproof5 I don't use bass boost, loudness, or bass and treble controls in my car. I like keeping my frequency response as flat as possible but then again I work in the music retail industry so I'm always doing some sort of critical listening.
Not only that, but my opinion is that if a song has bass in it, it's gonna come out when you crank the volume.
No fuses why?
Most amps are fused inline now
Will this run my two 12inch alpine type R. I got the grat ones
It will, but I wouldn't recommend it as it is a class A/B amp
@@Basscop So should I get another one
@@Basscop The subs have 1ohm option on them
What is the gain knob for?
Adjusting the bass output as you play
Is the Shark Audio 2500D a clone to this amp? I have one that I don't use, and it worked awesome.
It is not
@@Basscop ok. Do you know if Audiopipe makes the Shark. When you open it up it has Audiopipe wiring.
No they dont, Shark used internals from wherever they could buy from at the time, so yes alot of them had AP wire in them, as well as others
@@Basscop that makes sense. That's for the info. The amp does work well. Keep the good videos going.
Thanks!
was thinking of getting one to push an Ap txx bd4 15 2800watts would this be a good amp to buy
Certainly would be a great start! Do you already have the sub?
no am going to buy it why you ask
just ordered it off of amazon so I wanted to know if it was money well spent
hi which one should I get 2 ohms or 4 ohms going to power it with a apmi 2000watts which you think I should buy
Hi Otis, reason I was asking if you had the sub already is the ohm load. A single D4 sub, the lowest you'd be able to do is 2 ohm and you wouldn't get the full possible potential of the amp. With a D2 sub youd be able to go to 1 ohm and get more out of the amp.
So what's the rms?
Depends on your voltage and impedance rise. It will vary
Someone tell me about the aqx 1800.1 amp plz
... the audiopipe aqx1800d is a really good amp, especially if you put together the right system with it. The quality is awesome on that amp. First please understand that I'm no amateur in this car audio field, so when I used that 1800 aqx model amp, I had everything from a extra battery, two audiopipe bd2 15 inch subs in custom enclosure, plus equalizer, line driver etc. I had it ran @ 1 ohm, and it slammed and had very good quality. It had a better quality than the regular ap series amps, and it also sounded better than alot of amps that I had in the past. The power is clean. It made me want the bigger version (the aqx 2500.1 or 3500.1). Now check this out, when I sold it, I sold it to a guy with two Rockford fosgate p2 subs. He had them in a Cadillac eldorado. When we put that amp in his car, it didn't sound nothing like it did in my mini van with the 15s. And while it was in his car, Everytime he would crank it up, and on the heavy bass notes, the amp would go into protection. I told him either it's starving for power, or the subs is peaking out and it's making the amp protect. I explained this situation in detail in this comment, just to let everyone know that sometimes when you hear something, and if it don't sound like you expected to. Please don't always judge the equipment. You'll be surprised that once you take that same equipment, and put it in a whole different setting, that it might amaze you beyond belief. No lie. Because my mini van was really truly banging with that amp. And it didn't sound impressive at all in his system. But he kept the amp, and said he'll upgrade subs and batteries later on down the line.
1944 watts at 4 ohm? Jkjk I know you meant at 1 ohm 5:21
😂😂 I did mean 1 ohm, couldn't edit that lol
@@Basscop lmao it's all good I knew what you meant
The apcle is more powerful
Depends on the model and application
@@Basscop the apcl 2000 is more powerful than the apmi 2000
There is no APCL 2000
@@Basscop apcle
Watch big d wiz amp dyno on the 2000 Watt apcle compared to the apmi
