lanman31337 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I need help choosing amp(s). The Opti will run me around a grand, the Audiopipes around 700ish. Opti has been proven, and the Audiopipes come pretty damn close to rated.

bigbodylexus Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 by your signature I can see you're a dedicated Lanzar man but their products just aren't what they used to be. Honestly I wouldn't run either of those, but it's your money and your taste. I would think you would have a little more flexibility with the 2 AudioPipe's versus the 1 Lanzar. If nothing else you should be able to squeeze a little more out of the 2.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 really depends on what type of subs do you have, you can wire the ap3000 at 2 ohms for 3000 rms or 2x 1ohm for 1500 per channel...

lanman31337 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Since my subs are dual 2's, I can run them parallel/series for a final resistance of 2 ohms for a pair, x 2 pairs. Or I can run them each parallel at 1 ohms resistance, one sub per "channel" you could say for the audiopipes. The Opti6000d, even though it's no longer the Zed build that I grew up with and loved, still puts out more than rated power.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) you could go with the 2 amps for less imp rise so your subs will receive more power but with 1 amp, you only have to worry once about setting gains... so its a toss up man.. but those APs draw alot of power and are beasts as well Edited August 18, 2009 by Army_guy614 Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Boon Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 The Opti6000d still puts out more than rated power. Errr... More like 5500w @ 14.4v, maybe. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman31337 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Errr...More like 5500w @ 14.4v, maybe. There's a guy running one on FloridaSPL, at 15.6 volts it's pushing 6800 watt rms, and TheDukey42 on ROE tested one. I have the opti 6000D, had it benched for me & it put out 3500 rms @ 4 ohms. Was benched on 2 yellow tops, 1 up front & 1 in back. Did very well & was efficient. Edit: After rise during the bench, it did the 3500 rms @ 5.1 ohms I didn't have the 2 ohm & 1 ohm testings done because we had no subs that could take the power! I am currently using it in my car w/ a 70 amp alternator, stock front battery & Kinetik 2400 in the trunk, I have a constant 14.5V reading at normal listening levels, when I turn it up I have a 13.5V reading, so for me that is not a bad dip at all, but I am not sure what a bad voltage drop is. I assume it's 12.5 or below.

Ben Building Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I think that the APs will sound as loud as the 6000D, but you would be more pleased owning with the OPTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 id go with the opti, pretty much same amp at the soundstream xxx if i remember correctly. i never had an issue with the optis i had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr@sh Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I would go with the one you can get a warranty on, I would imagine that both are made in korea or china both make great power per dollar so If you can get a warranty with one and not the other then I'd go with it. If neither then I have no guess for ya becuase I think there both great for the money. Quote My old install at cardomain, never finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
