2 amps vs 1

Are they really that bad or just have a bad name behind them? What's the truth about them?

overrated buy about 200w minimum really ppi would be better for the money or even some mtx amps.

mtx has some pretty good amps that didnt sell as fast as they wanted so now they are being clearanced all over the place.

my local shop wanted 200 for the 1200w at 1ohm model and ive seen the same amp online for 180shipped

No lol i know about rise im saying like being able to strap them at .5 ohm to get a total rise of 2 ohms so i know the amps wont fry

I always just use 2 amps. 1 for the subs, and the 2nd for the door/tweet/rear speakers

Were talking about 1 or 2 amps just for the subs

I always run subs amps strapped, even in the daily...

Gowdy is just lazy otherwise he'd run 2 amps lol

If an amp goes bad, you can still use the other one to have beats. One big amp goes poof and you're down for a while...

underrated, and are proven to have a dirty signal just from the cooling fan turn on. Ive seen two burn up, not in my hands but still

Im gonna try ap for the time being. I will sell them if they last i know they are overrated but ill be running at 16v so they should do fine

I didn't mind my apsm1500. No its not 1500w and compared to my dB drive a7 it didn't sound as clean either but the apsm1500 was 115 new and I paid 205 for the dB drive used. For some (majority of people in car audio really) stuff like AP is perfect.

Ill be coming from an opti3500 hopefully two at 16v will compare to that beast, just for right now
