rboudreaux77 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 Are audiopipe amps cea certified? They are priced pretty cheap for what they say they put out and I can't find anywhere if they are cea certified or not and I wanna know b4 I put out money I could have just saved to get something else. If anyone uses audiopipe and has any pros and cons I would like to hear them too. http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ 2008 Chevy Impala (Daily Driver) Pioneer touchscreen w/navi 1 DC XL 15" (around 4cuft ported box) 1 AQ2200 1 AQ90x4 Memphis MClass 6.5s (front doors) Memphis MClass 6x9s (rear deck) stock alt & front batt; 1 Red top in the trunk 139.2db sealed (on my old JL1000/1) 140.0db outlaw (on my old JL1000/1) 1992 Chevy S-10 Ext cab.

The ap3000.1 was the one he suggested or the ap1500.1 http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ 2008 Chevy Impala (Daily Driver) Pioneer touchscreen w/navi 1 DC XL 15" (around 4cuft ported box) 1 AQ2200 1 AQ90x4 Memphis MClass 6.5s (front doors) Memphis MClass 6x9s (rear deck) stock alt & front batt; 1 Red top in the trunk 139.2db sealed (on my old JL1000/1) 140.0db outlaw (on my old JL1000/1) 1992 Chevy S-10 Ext cab.

micah_jones Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 It seems like most people say they will do rated power, but other people say they dont.

I might just get the AP3000.1 and when I put it in my S10 get 2 XL 15s or 18s and it can run them. Or get another 3000.1 and 2 level 5 15s or 18s and have 1 for each hahaha http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ 2008 Chevy Impala (Daily Driver) Pioneer touchscreen w/navi 1 DC XL 15" (around 4cuft ported box) 1 AQ2200 1 AQ90x4 Memphis MClass 6.5s (front doors) Memphis MClass 6x9s (rear deck) stock alt & front batt; 1 Red top in the trunk 139.2db sealed (on my old JL1000/1) 140.0db outlaw (on my old JL1000/1) 1992 Chevy S-10 Ext cab.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 just remember, the 3000.1 is not 1 ohm bridged its 2 1500s in 1 casing, so its 1 ohm stable per channel as this amp is a 2 channel amp.. its 2 ohms stable bridged for 3000w 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.......

I saw it was 2 ch but it was confusing me. I think I might just go with the new cea certified hifonics 2400.1. I just can't see audiopipes amps being so cheap and being for real. It makes me think of pawn shop shit where they say its a 5000 watt amp for $50 and then it puts out 600 watts RMS and you are even unsure about that lol. All I know is if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ 2008 Chevy Impala (Daily Driver) Pioneer touchscreen w/navi 1 DC XL 15" (around 4cuft ported box) 1 AQ2200 1 AQ90x4 Memphis MClass 6.5s (front doors) Memphis MClass 6x9s (rear deck) stock alt & front batt; 1 Red top in the trunk 139.2db sealed (on my old JL1000/1) 140.0db outlaw (on my old JL1000/1) 1992 Chevy S-10 Ext cab.

All I know is if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Idk about their newer stuff, but Hifonics is known to not do rated, and AP amps are usually more highly regarded as quality compared to them...
