Grelko Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 looking into getting 2 good amps, wondered if anyone knows much about the audiopipe Ap30001D 3000w 2-channel "1500 Rms @ 1 ohm"? possibly "true" 1500rms per channel? going to be powering 2x 18s off of each one.

Bought a 2000 Chevy S10, still using the same amp/subs. Headunit is XO Vision X538. It's 52x4w, has a dvd player, auto flip out 7" touch screen plus alot more and is a single din.

ChevyBoy95 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 audiopipes have been proven to do rated power, some love them, other hate them and are totally against audiopipe amps. I personally havent used them so therefore i cant give you and honest answer.

superdave07 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Ive used them, They do rated power. My only complaint is they arent great for daily drivers. Mine would get hot after driving around for an hour or so...but i dont know many amps that dont get hot after an hour of bumpin... Most people say they have "dirty power" im not sure how power can be dirty. I have heard this from people thou. I think they are good amps for the price.

Grelko Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 audiopipes have been proven to do rated power decent price and if theyve been proven to do rated power, ill probably grab 2x soon as i get my van wired. heat isnt too much of an issue, could always setup a fan for it, tons of room in the full size van, long as it doesnt go into protect alot it sounds good to me Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it.

Because you don't have to clip to have distortion... I ran mine at about 60% gain, two of them at 2 ohm. Never had any distortion or clipping from them. Sounded great, just seemed to get warm after a while. They are extremely touchy on tuning thou. To OP, they shouldn't go into protect, some people have had good luck dropping them below recommended impedance, i however would not suggest it. They will do what they say they will do...
