Adamtheazn Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Hello everyone I am new to posting on this forums and I had a question do you think a Audiopipe 1500d would be able to push 2 Kicker L7 12s at 1ohm? Not sure what amp to get and money is a little tight any help would be great thanks. The link is that amp I was looking at. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-AudioPipe-AP15001D...=item3ca610e9a4 Quote
abervintageman42 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 yes it will but you might be stressin the amp Quote

Adamtheazn Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Posted November 2, 2009 OK any other amps that will not cost me a ton around 200ish that will work better? Also thanks for the quest answers Quote
Neel Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 ok for you two that answered above , please explain why this is "stressing the amp" lol please dont post if you dont what you are talking about. Gains set correctly and speakers wired correctly to 1 ohm will not stress an amplifier that is rated to make power at 1 ohm. What does stress an amplifier? voltage drops , cranked gains , wiring the load to a lower impedance that what it is rated for...etc Quote Too Much Stuff to list .

abervintageman42 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Not to mention I have heard mixed reviews about whether or not this amp will do rated... it does, a guy on my team has seen bench tests of them done, they will put out rated power, i have the ap15001d and i love it Quote
Neel Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Why would the gains be cranked? Do you even know the input voltage he will be feeding it? If the gain is set correctly , there is no problem, no clipping. Read the sticky on gains, then read it again...Both of you . "that amp at 1 ohm is rated to put out 1500rms so the gain would be set relatively high" - This statement shows me how little you know... please pick up a book and learn.

finkster Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) that amp at 1 ohm is rated to put out 1500rms so the gain would be set relatively high the gain only adjusts how fast it reaches full potential. Ideally you want to match the source voltage with the amp, in which case the gain may not need to be set high at all. and btw Neel just said the same thing....lols....
