i would stick with what he tested, the tests are good.. only thing you'd have to worry about is how long it will last if you abuse it

I guess my box isn´t as efficient as i thought, my 1200 watts amplifier it´s actually a 2400 watts amplifier hahaha, i honestly doubted my clamp results so i re-did everything and had the exact same results, so you can imagine what´s about to happen now , testing the M2a :peepwall:

dang that sucks i wonder if its worth the more money the the normal ap line?

i don´t have a clue, if i find one i´ll surely tested it out and post it over here :)

i would stick with what he tested, the tests are good.. only thing you'd have to worry about is how long it will last if you abuse it

BINGO , that´s exactly the point!!!!! I´m only testing watts and voltage drops, but i don´t know the amount of abuse those amplifiers can take, i´ve tested the brutus line A LOT and they surely can take it, but i don´t know much about the Audiopipe amplifiers, yes i´ve used a couple of them on friend´s cars with great success, but wired at 1 ohm on good electricals and those guys barely use their systems on the streets lol

You should put all of the numbers in the first post on the first page of this thread, and when you are done you could put it into an Excel sheet for organization. This is an awesome idea too. Im gonna be looking into a AP 1500 in the future :P
