You obviously haven't seen the latest clamp tests of the APSM-1500 then. Does a clean rated below 14v

Audiopipe does rated without clipping! Power is power, all amps are the same! Don't let those "ess que" companies lie to you, amps are amps and they amp the same! Those companies selling amps at over $1k each are all just scammers!

How have they stayed open for decades, you ask? Well, isn't it obvious? There are just sooo many people out there looking to spend $1k on amps that do the same power as those $100 amps. There's no difference in them at all.

Dude buy a HU. You are not going to like going through the stock. It *****! Even a cheap POS HU is better than running through a stock radio.

That's not true. I'm usin stock head unit in my 2008 accord with the audio control lc2i. It's perfectly fine and sounds great.

And what about the new hifonics brz1700.1?? I also have the same subwoofers as you and I'm wondering what's the best budget amp.
