Ryan Blankenship Ha, thats the only problem when you find a good cheap amp. They don't stay cheap for long. Look at those Orion's. But you know that's great for you buddy. Shows someone's paying attention.
I always like to reflect back when MMATS was revolutionary, 1200 RMS for around $700 (1998ish) Everyone has got it good these days! a $5k system in 1998 MAY have been a true 2k RMS setup and was probably on 4 AWG lol
no foolin, I remember the first class d I seen for sale was the memphis 1,000 watt sitting next to a ppi pc2150 for $200 more you got 400 watts less. I still have that ppi amp. I just didn't trust that little memphis. I'm almost ready to give up on class a/b, but i'm an old fool from the old school.
oh for shure. It was cutting edge for its time. It was half the size, 1/4 of the weight, half the price, drew less current, at similar rated watts as: Zr1000, 1100a2, hcca 275r. If there had been a mmats dealer nearby I would have called bullshit on them too. I had just never seen that topology before, no one had. I figured that this class d thing wouldn't takehold due to thd being ten times that of an a/b amp. I didn't realize at the time that you really wouldn't notice it at lower frequencies and that advances in PWM power supplies would bring thd down to a/b levels. I just wonder how fultron was one of the first to bring it to market.Would have thought one of the larger companies would have done so. No arguments here, the memphis 1,000d was a game changer.
Zackly! I had 2 directed 600d's "bridged together" & 3 square kicker 12's with a xtra batter & capacitor with a Kenwood flip screen "analog tv" for around $2500.00 installed pumping out about 2k watts back in 2000-ish!!!lol!
I always look at amp dyno videos prior to purchasing anything new. He keeps it real for the consumers to help us make informative purchases, hopefully before getting ripped off! So far I have purchased two kenwood 600W mini amps (for my bike) and now this Audio Pipe 2000W after watching his tests. Needless to say I went in to my purchases WELL informed and WITHOUT regret! Again, thank you for all the awesome work you do and I always reference your tests prior to purchasing anything, you are helping so many of us out here in youtube land!
Your videos have helped me out more than you know. I don't have a lot of money for my system so I have to rely on budget equipment and I just found my go to amp. Thanks for doing all my research for me LoL. Keep up the good work for all us poor bassheads out there.
Mister Hat I just bought a first gen Ap15001d yesterday hooked it up to one ohm and that bitch kicking. So to me I feel like it’s definitely going to be in the old school gems in a few years like us amps Rockford and Orion is now a days. But that’s just my opinion.
Have had my APCL-15001D for 2 years now pounding my pioneer champion series subs, very reliable amp imo. The only thing is its very hungry for power, i have a 160 amp alt and 0/2 power wire to the back with an extra batt (plan on upgrading later) and it performs very well.
I have a audio pipe bd3 12 good for 1100 rms I give it 1300 clean rms and it takes the power just fine and doesn't smell or heat up like the subs I have owned in the past
Ryan! Great job! 2000+ watts for $167? Wow! Like you said, 4000 watts for under $340! If you would ask me 20 years ago this was possible, I would have thought you were crazy! It would have cost over 1k to even get near this power. We wouldn't know about this budget gem if you didn't do these well layed out videos. Thank you!
Ryan is it possible for you to test 2 of the same amps and then strap them to see if you get double the power as it's claimed to strap them. Love your videos....
For the price, that's very exceptional. I would consider buying AP for my amps. My 2006 model p1000-bd had a birth sheet rms of 1300@1ohm and a peak of 3901 watts, but it was also around 600 bucks. I hope to get back onto the car audio game soon. Thanks for the video and information!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for doing this video! I get multiple questions daily about AP products and what this does and that does, including the APMI-2000. Now when someone ask I can give them the link to this, or when the haters are saying it doesn't do rated I can link them up! Keep up the good love the videos! #Basscop #TeamAudiopipe
Damn man for the price ive paid for 3 soundqubed 4.5k i could have bought 13-14 of these bad boys!!! Damn I want to return my amps now , I feel ripped off!!!Keep up the good work man thanks!!!!
Everyone who buys all these high priced akps and subs are being ripped off because there are certainly companies out there that are making products that compete easily with all that expensive shit and for a fraction of the price, as evidenced by these Dyno videos of budget amps!
I bought this amp like 2 3 years ago and have blown 2 pairs of 12 inch subs a single 15 lol now looking back at the vid i shoulda kept the 2 dials on the right to the left😂😂 just got 2 scar evl 12’s 2 ohm wired in series for a 2 ohm load this video definitely helped me pick and later on figure out what i was doing wrong😂 thanks man wish me luck!
kevious cain thank means your starving the amp for power. The vents are on the bottom too. Either put rubber spacers so you have atleast an inch of breathing room or just mount it upside down with vents facing up. And if you dont have atleast 2 spare batteries or a high output alternator, then turn the gain down cause your starving that power hungry amp.
Been running this amp for a few months now and I have no complaints. .. Pushing 1 SKAR EVL 2ohm dvc 12" on stock electrical and it hits!! If your looking for a low budget system.. these two make a perfect combo for about $200..
Hell my AP1500.1 16V is still working to this very day. When I saw BIG D do a amp test on one, even being shy or so of it's numbers. I still bought one the next day, great sir ✌️ out 😎
I've been running the same exact amp at 1Ohm for the past 8 months on 0 gauge wire it's done me great and pushed my subs to there limit plus more and still works great
Lol I love all the amp dyno videos on RUclips but after Ryan or big d do a dyno that turns out good and a deal then the prices seem to almost double overnight. The manufacturers could just get the amps cea rated and charge the price from the start. Or maybe they should start sending 50 percent of markup profits to these guys doing the dyno videos. Those dyno are ridiculously expensive and the power needed to hold the voltage is also expensive. We are lucky to have these videos for sure.
Very nice. Buddy of mine ran the apcl-1800.1 @ .5ohm for well over 2 months on average electrical. No issues, we were very impressed. Thanks for the vid 👌🏾
Mus Raniaa - Yessir. Had it pushing a DD9918 in a ported box. Never cut off or blew a fuse. Got as hell, but no issues. Here’s a vid of that setup: ruclips.net/video/YsAB4Vx3xvI/видео.html
Good vid. I have 2 of these on 2 HDC3 15s, and I put them on the meter for the first time 2 weeks ago. I pulled 3868 watts out of these amps total. I blew the power supply sections out of my Nendo BC5500 and I got these two amps so I could have some bump while I get the Nendo fixed. Like you, I didn't expect a lot out of them but I was surprised when I played them for the first time. I love these amp but I wish they had a clip light on the bass knob and they do get hotter than I'm use to. They don't sound as good as the Nendo and the bass on the Nendo sounds deeper but for $170 you can't go wrong with these.
I just had mine burn up after 2 weeks. 2.1 ohm load, zero bass boost, gain at 1/3rd(set with tweeter distortion test). 20Hz@12db and 60Hz@24dB crossovers in my DSP. It vented an enormous cloud of smoke for ~15 minutes, it was making intermittent arcing sounds when it died. I took photos of the PCB, hmu if you want me to upload.
@@TylerTheBassCreator 2 gauge coarse stranded to everything. I have a 500 farad super capacitor bank under the hood and two glass mats on the APMI amp in the back. Two Rockford Fosgate amps under the seats to run the 3 way active up front. The replacement APMI hasn't had any issues. The first one probably blew up because I had it mounted to the sub enclosure, the new one isn't.
@@SpecialEDy Hey man I know this post is old as hell but I'm curious about how that replacement amp lasted. Looking at one of these but concerned about longevity you know.
I just traded a (Sinful Sounds "Wrath" 15" Dvc 4ohm subwoofer last night, even out for this Amplifier. I cannot believe the power this thing emits it is beyond any expectation I had in mind!! Performs flawlessly at 1ohm and is giving my 1500 watt RMS 12s (2)... A beating like they deserve LOL and I'm not even at half gain!! Truly a gym for the price! Thank you for the specs brother
I have 2 15” txxbd3 and they are amazing. Running a stetsom 3k on them and they run beautifully. They can handle up to 6k rms from what I’ve heard, but nothing under 30hz or so. Would definitely recommend them. They’re cheap and incredibly strong I love them
People are quick to judge because of the name. I've ran audiopipe since the minis were APSM before APMI, and was happy with it. Glad to see AP is still doing it!
Thanks man for the video. I don't have a lot of money to work with and this just made my day knowing I can afford high rms output for low cost. Thanks again.
Awesome man! Love your channel! Finding these buget gems is the shit! Already have two older ap1800.1's that I'm Gunna run strapped...may just have to pick up 2 of these...nice...very nice!
For anyone wanting this amp it does deliver the power but I got 2 complaints. 1 it has a little noise when starting the car so its not filtering 100%. 2 it does get hot with a couple minutes of playing but adding 2 fans did the trick and it runs cool 😎. I'm running 6 cheap twelves on it and with almost half gain they start clipping so its pushing over 1800 watts because that's my rms lol. I'm under power on my alternator so I got a 220 amp coming soon so I'm excited to see what it will sound like getting good power to it. Also 220 amp is the biggest I can find for my car.
Mines get hot too bro after 2-3 songs it will shut and go in protect mode then like a min later it will play again,, if i put some fans on it i will be good?
@@danielrodriguezz7384 hey man mine never went into protect even playing for an hour but adding the fans made a huge difference but I noticed as long as I had my windows down with air circulating it never got hot to the point I couldn't hold my hand on it like before but it still was warm. But if you don't have any air circulating I don't think it will make a huge difference. So on my setup I have one fan blowing in the amp and one blowing out then I have one mounted on my box blowing to it. But unfortunately it still get really hot if I'm not moving 😫
@@danielrodriguezz7384 thats one of the only down falls of this amp lol but I had 6 12s on it at .67 ohms so that heated up a lot to. But it does its power though because I blew 2 of those subs
I’m from south Louisiana and we have a lot of carjackings down and this type of music is what we started rocking in the early 2000’s and we literally stop getting jack for expensive brands of music so this one a lot of people think this trash and there wrong I have literally see these amps with matching sub shred trunks from the inside out shattered Trunk locks etc honestly I won’t buy anything else when tried we the complete set eq and rca jacks everything you will love it . Only con would be the build in fan that just started making some with the built in fan. Much love thanks and god bless.
This amp is actually 1 ohm stable? Please reply quick, i just found one for $100 and was debating whether i should buy dual 4 ohm or 2 ohm subs and wire it to 1 ohm
Ryan, I remember when you posted this video a little over a year ago, I was looking for a new amp,and for a whole new set up in my ride. I immediately got this amp after seeing this. It still runs 1+ years later. Doesn't get hot or give me any issues.
Got this amp cuz of your channel this amp sounds freaking great better sound quality than my skar lp1000.1 just gets hot but I need to upgrade my electrical.
I have a few APCL30001D amps laying around. Would love to see if it could do over 3k. Really great channel that you have. Keep the test coming our way man.
Seen a Dyno they did very well, think it did around 33** and change at 2 ohm dynamic. Like most Audiopipe amps they need good clean power. I have used the APCL 1500 and 1800 Amos and have always had good experience..
Thank you for the video Ryan, it's really nice seeing this amps rated correctly and for the price of $167. sounds like a good deal. You know I do wonder how long it would last when powering a system for a long period of time.
I'm an older guy, but I still love a clean,hard hitting system, what amazes me is how much I payed for my first 300 watt bridgeable amp compared to sundowns sd2500.1 ,in comparison to the power of the 90's it's all pretty budget these days lol
These newer audio pipes have been proving them selves time and time again. Big Dwiz just did an amp dyno not to long ago on a bigger one and it also blew the rattings out of the water. Get them while you can.
Thanks for the video man. Not a bad amp at all!!!! I've always wanted an audiopipe 3k. Everyone cracks on them and calls them audiopoop but I still want to own a 3k!!!
I've been pleased with my audiopipe apmi 2000 it's not a competition amp but love that they are strap able to double your power also I've never had a overheating issue it's deffinatly a best buy 4 the money and quality!!!
I love love love my apmi2000. Thank you for not stopping at the 1500.. Finally putting to rest that the apmi2000 to me is the budget king. Just can't beat the price. Also thanks for telling people they do not run crazy hot!! mine runs cool with plenty of air space @# 1ohm..
If I can make my only ever request.. AUDIOPIPE APNK40001. Korean board by audiopipe. Still decent price but does it do the power? Thanks for all you do.
the apcl 1500d is still a beast of the AP amps. If you search you can get it for as low as $140 and it does over rated. most people run them at 1 or .5 w/o issue and they bang hard. i had one pushing a pair of Soundqubed hds215 and it got them subs throwing real nice. My only issues was the "1/0" inputs that were really 4ga. but thats nothing a reducer can't fix. These have gotten pretty good reviews but I've heard the APSM-2k are shit so I'd like to see you test one of those if you could...just to satisfy my curiousity because you care about my curiousity, lol. But another great vid. You and Big D are a huge help to all us guys who can't afford Sundown, Crescendo, Ampere, but are still hoping to get a decent amount of power for a precious dollars, lol. Hell, a few hours after watching your vid on the SQ 2250 I pulled the trigger and bought one.
Nice test...what we need from you or big d is an all out budget amp battle...test all the amps like this in the price range and see what amps come out with the most power for the cheapest
After a good 3/4 year run, mine finally went up in smoke! And I think purely on user error tbh! Ran it underpowered for a majority of its life, amp went through an accident that flipped about 4/5 times, got into protect after an hour and a half of bumping on La drives, amp has seen better days! Even after the accident, had it rocking the right way with 2 big xs power batteries, ofc, big 3 besides alt, and the amp came to life at the very end! Lol, smoked on the rca side so who knows! Going to end up buying another audiopipe amp thank you for the videos!!
Little screws for mounting the bass knob? Speaking of which it'd be nice if they would make the knobs where you can remove them from the casing so you can flush them in the dash or somewhere.
A lot of the ones Ive had actually do, they are just put together in a way that dont seem like they come apart. Most of Fosgates Power line does if I remember right. Thats what all mine where
I like audio pipe, always thought of it as the generic m/a audio and audiobahn. I always was blown away by the apcl 1500 . I love there subs and they have component speakers that give most a run for there money.
I have two of these one setup on two mtx twelve flopping em! Other one on two solo barric twelves hurting shiid with no heating or clipping at 1 ohm it does pull a lot of current though no complaints ya gotta have the juice to play anyway thanks for the video bro
wow..i didn't expect it to run a pyramid blue spec run, but for an amp running electricity thru chinese-ium metals this blew me away! nice test run, man.. #bassheads4life
I just bought the audiopipe apmn-2000 for $215 worth every single penny period don't even hesitate buy this amplifier butt you have to run ofc o guage wire I had 100s of amplifiers and this one is the very best one I ever had hardly even gets warm bumping it for hours
Exactly like u were saying about the wires running along side of those mosfetts my amp went up in smoke this weekend. The wire to the far right melted thru along with a few of those heat sinks melted.
Love the test. I really wish you could provide noise floor levels. That could help separate the budget gems even further. I mean you pick up a budget gem and get it installed but it has a high noise floor so you get hissing or noise on quiet passages when listening to music. Also..please please grab the 5 channel soundstream Rubicon Nano amp, the RN5.2000 amp and test it. Really want to know if it's the budget gem or a waste of money.
I have two of these. One to each of my zvx 15s. And it fucking SLAMS!!! Amps are run at a final load of 1ohm and they handle it easily at 3/4 gain all day!! Doesn’t overheat and it puts out nice undistorted power. Can’t complain at all. I actually like it better than my old kicker IX 1,000.1 monoblock amp. It’s way better than the kicker crap.
Definitely a budget Gem. I would buy one of these if my amp(s) broke and needed an amp temporarily while saving for a new one or repairing my amp. I'm not sure how reliable it would be or efficient so I probably wouldn't run them long term.
Man I noticed your testing the audiopipe apmi-2000 watt but now all thats being sold is the Audiopipe apmn-2000, any chance you've had any experience with this amp or do you think it would run similar rms ratings to the amp you tested? Sorry for asking but this would be the perfect amp to run my rockville 15" k9 but I noticed the models are one letter different so was just curious of your thoughts. Thanks bro awesome channel and your the cat audio man!!!
Try that test again at .5 ohm load. I ran one at .5 ohms for over 6 months daily no problems and I bought it ba CVk it 2016 fast forward 3 years and it is still kicking like a champ
But i can say i had an audiopipe 1500 watt amp 2 years ago it didn’t last a month but i think i can be the one to blame i didn’t have proper electrical. It was probably clipping .. it sounded good while it lasted

Same here
The Rockville is nowhere close . Skip that step

Good vid. I have 2 of these on 2 HDC3 15s, and I put them on the meter for the first time 2 weeks ago. I pulled 3868 watts out of these amps total. I blew the power supply sections out of my Nendo BC5500 and I got these two amps so I could have some bump while I get the Nendo fixed. Like you, I didn't expect a lot out of them but I was surprised when I played them for the first time. I love these amp but I wish they had a clip light on the bass knob and they do get hotter than I'm use to. They don't sound as good as the Nendo and the bass on the Nendo sounds deeper but for $170 you can't go wrong with these.
Aaron Hoobler what where the amps wired to ?
I just had mine burn up after 2 weeks. 2.1 ohm load, zero bass boost, gain at 1/3rd(set with tweeter distortion test). 20Hz@12db and 60Hz@24dB crossovers in my DSP.
It vented an enormous cloud of smoke for ~15 minutes, it was making intermittent arcing sounds when it died.
I took photos of the PCB, hmu if you want me to upload.
What does your electrical look like?
@@TylerTheBassCreator 2 gauge coarse stranded to everything. I have a 500 farad super capacitor bank under the hood and two glass mats on the APMI amp in the back. Two Rockford Fosgate amps under the seats to run the 3 way active up front.
The replacement APMI hasn't had any issues. The first one probably blew up because I had it mounted to the sub enclosure, the new one isn't.
@@SpecialEDy Hey man I know this post is old as hell but I'm curious about how that replacement amp lasted. Looking at one of these but concerned about longevity you know.
@@donnie4191 It's still alive, but I haven't used it in about a year. Been building a hotrod engine for that van.
@@SpecialEDy user error for sure I've had both of mine for 5 years now no problems and 2yrs at 0.5ohm
I love the music during the DYNO test! (Great Job)
I bought some of their bookshelf speakers several years ago and they are very good. They have surprised quite few people on how they sound.
I just traded a (Sinful Sounds "Wrath" 15" Dvc 4ohm subwoofer last night, even out for this Amplifier. I cannot believe the power this thing emits it is beyond any expectation I had in mind!! Performs flawlessly at 1ohm and is giving my 1500 watt RMS 12s (2)... A beating like they deserve LOL and I'm not even at half gain!! Truly a gym for the price! Thank you for the specs brother
Huh, surprised as hell. Crazy. Keep em coming dude. Thanks again
I bought this amp cause of the dyno and 4 yrs later. It is now on 2 Skar ZVXv2's and it makes my car shake so yeah best buy ever for car audio
I have this amp. Had it for about 4 years now. Running strong
I have 2 15” txxbd3 and they are amazing. Running a stetsom 3k on them and they run beautifully. They can handle up to 6k rms from what I’ve heard, but nothing under 30hz or so. Would definitely recommend them. They’re cheap and incredibly strong I love them
If youre thinking about it, buy it! I LOVE AP products! i stand buy their subs and amps over all. Best bang for buck subs
I just got bd4 had bd3 bd2 all bangers
i got one of those aluminum cone subs the 375w rms one since forever and still works, its solid
@@alekpo2000 audiopipe made metal cones?
@@StevenStGelais yeah the sub model is ts-pr12bl i just looked in the car XD its a big heavy metal monster XD
Had an AP amp a few years ago, ran that thing for hours and never overheated, never gave me problem.
I LOVE your ending comments just over 11minutes in / AWESOME! Great JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People are quick to judge because of the name. I've ran audiopipe since the minis were APSM before APMI, and was happy with it. Glad to see AP is still doing it!
Not a budget gem at the moment. It's well over that price now. Just bought 2. Thanks for the dyno. I always come here to get honest results.
dude I love these amp dyno videos, it's amazing what kind of budget amps you can get that put out some serious wattage
I have an Audiopipe and i call it the SLEDGEHAMMER!!! and doesn't even heat up
Thanks man for the video. I don't have a lot of money to work with and this just made my day knowing I can afford high rms output for low cost. Thanks again.
Awesome man! Love your channel! Finding these buget gems is the shit! Already have two older ap1800.1's that I'm Gunna run strapped...may just have to pick up 2 of these...nice...very nice!
For anyone wanting this amp it does deliver the power but I got 2 complaints. 1 it has a little noise when starting the car so its not filtering 100%. 2 it does get hot with a couple minutes of playing but adding 2 fans did the trick and it runs cool 😎. I'm running 6 cheap twelves on it and with almost half gain they start clipping so its pushing over 1800 watts because that's my rms lol. I'm under power on my alternator so I got a 220 amp coming soon so I'm excited to see what it will sound like getting good power to it. Also 220 amp is the biggest I can find for my car.
Mines get hot too bro after 2-3 songs it will shut and go in protect mode then like a min later it will play again,, if i put some fans on it i will be good?
@@danielrodriguezz7384 hey man mine never went into protect even playing for an hour but adding the fans made a huge difference but I noticed as long as I had my windows down with air circulating it never got hot to the point I couldn't hold my hand on it like before but it still was warm. But if you don't have any air circulating I don't think it will make a huge difference. So on my setup I have one fan blowing in the amp and one blowing out then I have one mounted on my box blowing to it. But unfortunately it still get really hot if I'm not moving 😫
@@danielrodriguezz7384 thats one of the only down falls of this amp lol but I had 6 12s on it at .67 ohms so that heated up a lot to. But it does its power though because I blew 2 of those subs
@@THEBOULDER7 bet preciate it bro, yea im going to need some fans and upgrade the big 3
I’m from south Louisiana and we have a lot of carjackings down and this type of music is what we started rocking in the early 2000’s and we literally stop getting jack for expensive brands of music so this one a lot of people think this trash and there wrong I have literally see these amps with matching sub shred trunks from the inside out shattered Trunk locks etc honestly I won’t buy anything else when tried we the complete set eq and rca jacks everything you will love it . Only con would be the build in fan that just started making some with the built in fan. Much love thanks and god bless.
Running this amp @ .67 and it's a beast.
This amp is actually 1 ohm stable? Please reply quick, i just found one for $100 and was debating whether i should buy dual 4 ohm or 2 ohm subs and wire it to 1 ohm
@@dropzonemedia7811 yes it is 1 ohm stable and I wouldn't recommend running it any lower.
Ryan, I remember when you posted this video a little over a year ago, I was looking for a new amp,and for a whole new set up in my ride. I immediately got this amp after seeing this. It still runs 1+ years later. Doesn't get hot or give me any issues.
Good job keep up them low cost amps to test
Got this amp cuz of your channel this amp sounds freaking great better sound quality than my skar lp1000.1 just gets hot but I need to upgrade my electrical.
I have a few APCL30001D amps laying around. Would love to see if it could do over 3k. Really great channel that you have. Keep the test coming our way man.
Paul Garant I'm sure they can they are just 2 1500s in one shell
How's the durability of this brand
Seen a Dyno they did very well, think it did around 33** and change at 2 ohm dynamic. Like most Audiopipe amps they need good clean power. I have used the APCL 1500 and 1800 Amos and have always had good experience..
The apcl 3k does rated power all day.
Thanks to you guys, can't find these anywhere for less than $250.
Thank you for the video Ryan, it's really nice seeing this amps rated correctly and for the price of $167. sounds like a good deal. You know I do wonder how long it would last when powering a system for a long period of time.
I've had mine since 2015 and 2yrs of that time has been at 0.5 ohm and still going strong
Im still waiting for someone to test the APCL 3000.1 id love to see that on the dyno n im sure alot of others would too
I have the 4,000 watt one that i would send it too anyone willing to test it via dyno
I'm an older guy, but I still love a clean,hard hitting system, what amazes me is how much I payed for my first 300 watt bridgeable amp compared to sundowns sd2500.1 ,in comparison to the power of the 90's it's all pretty budget these days lol
Very nice. People sleep on the audiopipe amplifiers. Been running apcl 1500s for awhile. Keep up the amazing work.
Got this amp when it first came out and it’s still kicking. Love it
Were can I get this amp. It's not on the link anymore.
Damn just seen this but I got mine on eBay
These newer audio pipes have been proving them selves time and time again. Big Dwiz just did an amp dyno not to long ago on a bigger one and it also blew the rattings out of the water. Get them while you can.
Thanks for the video man. Not a bad amp at all!!!! I've always wanted an audiopipe 3k. Everyone cracks on them and calls them audiopoop but I still want to own a 3k!!!
Thank you, I think I know what I'm going to push my 4 old school mtx thunder 8000 15s with... good job. Great review. 👍
Larry Keller nice
U gonna need 4 then
I've been pleased with my audiopipe apmi 2000 it's not a competition amp but love that they are strap able to double your power also I've never had a overheating issue it's deffinatly a best buy 4 the money and quality!!!
I love love love my apmi2000. Thank you for not stopping at the 1500.. Finally putting to rest that the apmi2000 to me is the budget king. Just can't beat the price. Also thanks for telling people they do not run crazy hot!! mine runs cool with plenty of air space @# 1ohm..
If I can make my only ever request.. AUDIOPIPE APNK40001. Korean board by audiopipe. Still decent price but does it do the power? Thanks for all you do.
and here i am still running 18 year old audiopipe 0 gauge wiring kit... it was a steal back then..
the apcl 1500d is still a beast of the AP amps. If you search you can get it for as low as $140 and it does over rated. most people run them at 1 or .5 w/o issue and they bang hard. i had one pushing a pair of Soundqubed hds215 and it got them subs throwing real nice. My only issues was the "1/0" inputs that were really 4ga. but thats nothing a reducer can't fix.
These have gotten pretty good reviews but I've heard the APSM-2k are shit so I'd like to see you test one of those if you could...just to satisfy my curiousity because you care about my curiousity, lol. But another great vid. You and Big D are a huge help to all us guys who can't afford Sundown, Crescendo, Ampere, but are still hoping to get a decent amount of power for a precious dollars, lol. Hell, a few hours after watching your vid on the SQ 2250 I pulled the trigger and bought one.
And this channel loves you sir!!
🤐
Pipe has made some good stuff. Subs are quite good too.
Nice test...what we need from you or big d is an all out budget amp battle...test all the amps like this in the price range and see what amps come out with the most power for the cheapest
Should I buy a second one to strap, I'm switching to 2 18" with 2 ohm dvc?
Special EDy Turn it 40hz. 18’s love the lowend. I wouldn’t get 18’s peak watts no more than 2500 each. That way u set the crossover lower Hz.
I've had this amp for 3yrs so I can't wait to see what it does!
Thanks for the info man! I just clicked your link and ordered one.
After a good 3/4 year run, mine finally went up in smoke! And I think purely on user error tbh! Ran it underpowered for a majority of its life, amp went through an accident that flipped about 4/5 times, got into protect after an hour and a half of bumping on La drives, amp has seen better days! Even after the accident, had it rocking the right way with 2 big xs power batteries, ofc, big 3 besides alt, and the amp came to life at the very end! Lol, smoked on the rca side so who knows! Going to end up buying another audiopipe amp thank you for the videos!!
Little screws for mounting the bass knob? Speaking of which it'd be nice if they would make the knobs where you can remove them from the casing so you can flush them in the dash or somewhere.
A lot of the ones Ive had actually do, they are just put together in a way that dont seem like they come apart. Most of Fosgates Power line does if I remember right. Thats what all mine where
You think he would know something like that
I like audio pipe, always thought of it as the generic m/a audio and audiobahn.
I always was blown away by the apcl 1500 . I love there subs and they have component speakers that give most a run for there money.
Just picked one up. Seems louder than my old aq 2200. Plan on getting a 2nd soon and strapping them
Thanks man I always refer to your dynos before purchase
This was extremely accurate in it's ratings . Crazy value for the money.
I have two of these one setup on two mtx twelve flopping em! Other one on two solo barric twelves hurting shiid with no heating or clipping at 1 ohm it does pull a lot of current though no complaints ya gotta have the juice to play anyway thanks for the video bro
wow..i didn't expect it to run a pyramid blue spec run, but for an amp running electricity thru chinese-ium metals this blew me away! nice test run, man.. #bassheads4life
I just bought the audiopipe apmn-2000 for $215 worth every single penny period don't even hesitate buy this amplifier butt you have to run ofc o guage wire I had 100s of amplifiers and this one is the very best one I ever had hardly even gets warm bumping it for hours
I owned and ran this amp..on 3 200 amp batteries this amp did what it said
Yeah Buddy!!! I think I may buy one or 2 of these just to have as back ups in the closet!!! Awesome video brotha!
Omg this explains why I'm louder with this amp then I was with my sound stream pecaso 5000.1D
Exactly like u were saying about the wires running along side of those mosfetts my amp went up in smoke this weekend. The wire to the far right melted thru along with a few of those heat sinks melted.
Nice video. That thing draws huge amps though, definitely gonna have to upgrade alternator.
The 2 screws are for the Bass knob
I bought mine as soon as I watched this video the first time best amp I ever bought sad they discontinued this amp….
Love the test. I really wish you could provide noise floor levels. That could help separate the budget gems even further. I mean you pick up a budget gem and get it installed but it has a high noise floor so you get hissing or noise on quiet passages when listening to music. Also..please please grab the 5 channel soundstream Rubicon Nano amp, the RN5.2000 amp and test it. Really want to know if it's the budget gem or a waste of money.
Still Steel got mines today pushin bd4s sounding 2020ish love Audiopipe
I have two of these. One to each of my zvx 15s. And it fucking SLAMS!!! Amps are run at a final load of 1ohm and they handle it easily at 3/4 gain all day!! Doesn’t overheat and it puts out nice undistorted power. Can’t complain at all. I actually like it better than my old kicker IX 1,000.1 monoblock amp. It’s way better than the kicker crap.
What is the longevity like? I am happy to hear it meets or exceeds the manufacturer claims. There is still hope in this world.
Pimpin'! Thanks Ryan!
Definitely a budget Gem.
I would buy one of these if my amp(s) broke and needed an amp temporarily while saving for a new one or repairing my amp.
I'm not sure how reliable it would be or efficient so I probably wouldn't run them long term.
I love when we find a budget gem!
Man I noticed your testing the audiopipe apmi-2000 watt but now all thats being sold is the Audiopipe apmn-2000, any chance you've had any experience with this amp or do you think it would run similar rms ratings to the amp you tested? Sorry for asking but this would be the perfect amp to run my rockville 15" k9 but I noticed the models are one letter different so was just curious of your thoughts. Thanks bro awesome channel and your the cat audio man!!!
Its the same amp... just new name
These are no joke. There's someone local to me running 8 of these on 4 FI Team 15's doing 161's.. on less than $1300 in amps.
Try that test again at .5 ohm load. I ran one at .5 ohms for over 6 months daily no problems and I bought it ba CVk it 2016 fast forward 3 years and it is still kicking like a champ
Well I've been waiting on someone to Dyno this amplifier for the last past 3 years
But i can say i had an audiopipe 1500 watt amp 2 years ago it didn’t last a month but i think i can be the one to blame i didn’t have proper electrical. It was probably clipping .. it sounded good while it lasted
I have this amp on 2 resilient sounds 15s and I love it my shit is loud
yezzirrrr!!!! i have 4 of these puppies on 2 FI BTL NEO 18s in my silveraydo... love these little guys...
Those 2 little screw's are for the BASS knob (✌🏼💪🏼🔈✌🏼💪🏼🔉✌🏼💪🏼🔊)
Great to know. I'm thinking 500W RMS is plenty for my F-150 supercrew cab. Now I know I don't have to break the bank I double up on subs.
Ryan, what are your thoughts on its' efficiency? power vs amps pulled?
