N the brz line is CEA certified . Bu of course they are better amps out there . But for budget I would go hifonics . Edit : n don't wire to 4 ohms I'm sure there's a configuration that can give you a final load of around 1-2 ohms depending on subs n they're ohms Chevy Impala Shocker Sigs / TC Sounds 12s Sundown NS-1 | SAX 100.4 Sundown Neos | Dayton Audio Neos ETCCC ETCCC ETCCC My YouTube ---- Subcribe!!

nCOMP1337 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 yea, i also go no for soundstorm, if it sounds like another brand then one of them is generic and then its up to you to decide which and normally the price will tell you i would think 1000rms at 4ohms would probably be in the 200 dollar range at least it is for the amps im looking at, there are quite a few good amps within that range that can do that power of course if you go with a lower quality am you may get what you want at a lower price but also at risk of not putting out actual rating at one point i took the prices of many popular amp brands and the RMS they put out at different ohm loads and i made a chart showing what the average cost per watt it was for good amps, im sure iom not the only one that has done this, i should find my chart or make another i did the same thing for woofers as well, i should find that one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think audiopipe sells some of the best cheap budget amps. Hifonics are nice and decent, but are current hogs. I prefer the AP. And meh...CEA...blah Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

And meh...CEA...blah Well seeing how the ap 3000 is a 2 channel n can only be run at 2 ohms (without voiding warranty n risking it to smoke) And on top of that hifonics is mainstream so you get steals on them on my local craiglist (picking up a 1610 for 60 bux!) n my current 2607 for 200. I haven't seen no ap's on my craiglist . Which is why I went with hifonics to get steal deals ! but I do agree that ap is up there for decent budget amps . Just wish that ap3k was a 1 ohm stable amp I would grab 2 !

So I went with Bxi 2600s i hope you have the electrical to handle 4500rms..... or else POOF I'm not seeing anything from audiopipe that matches the specs i need, and ya i have 2 DVC 4ohm subs... 450 RMS each... any suggestions? ap15001d. goes for about 150-160. tune gains for 900rms and you will be fine. and you'll always have that extra power on tap if you ever upgrade.
