Audiopipe APSM1300 1000 RMS Mono Mini Amplifier... Think it's good???

[hmong337 10+ year member]

Hey guys, I need a budget amp that'll do 600rms @ 2ohms. I'm going to be powering a pair of old school 2ohm DVC Alpine Type R's (300rms each, 600rms for a pair). I don't have much room either.

Do you guys think this amp will suffice? I hear AudioPipe is a good budget brand.

get the 1500d for 160ish and u can set the gain on the lower side.

u can run 4ga wire to the 1500d and if u want u can do big3 . if u need wire check out knu they have a nice 4 ga kit on the cheap.

I think that amp a little overkill for my needs. I'm already running 4ga wire with a 1 farad cap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

At the moment, I'm pushing the subs with an RF 500s (something I had laying around). It ***** because the amp isn't really made for these subs so I'm only getting ~125w to each sub at 4ohms.

I wanna pound these bastards!!!

The audiopipe is a great amp, I switched out my crunch gpv2000 and it pounds a whole lot better, and seems to put out more power than the crunch. Both are rated at 1000 watts at 1 ohms. I have two of these and about to strap them to a single 12 for comps and testing purpose.

the crunch was good for 500 watts or so.mayb 400

The audiopipe is a class D compared to the crunch which is a class ab. We just clamped the audiopipe and got 19 amps with 58 volts, not sure what the imp rise was, but the starting ohm load was 1ohm. Voltage started at 13.9 and dropped to 13.2.

So you have this exact same mini amp? Do you think it does rated? I'm scared to cook it because they're super tiny yet output big.

Do you think it will pound my pair of Alpines?

Thanks for the replies...

Yeah the little mini, strong amp for its size and does rated. Its hard to beat the price, just make sure you adjust the amp until your happy due to the gain and xover adjustments are underneath.
