audiopipe 3000k watt amp

you cant strap two of the 3000's only the 1500's.
They run like a dream at 2ohm. I have used them in numerous installs with no problems. (even with abuse)

As long as you keep the voltage up, they will do rated power.

That's true with any good amp, right?

Oh ya the audiopipe 3000s are solid amps. They are 2 1500s put together just as one amp. That's why it runs at 2 ohms, and that's why you can't strap them because they are internally strapped.

Actually my manual says they are strappable and have the inputs and outputs for slave and master.

negative.

Can they be strapped with a Maxlink???

 

[mgcauctions09 10+ year member]

Ok I just double checked the manual. I was looking at the 1500d. All the different amps are in the same manual. So the ap30001d is not strappable.

I think so.

But don't quote me on it.

Question... With The Current Setup I Have Now Could I Run This Amp Saftely At .5 Ohms With The Right Amount Of Juice

It's 2 amps in one heatsink. You would have to run it at .5 ohms x 2 and it would probably smoke. If you bridged/strapped it at .5 would be .25 per amp board and I can pretty well assure you smoke will come out of it at that point...

Really sucks that so many people are jumping on the chinese amp bandwagon today. The Koreans are gonna have to lower their prices to keep up, and that means lower the quality too. Very sad. Our amps are just gonna go to shit now because everyone is a cheap-***. Maybe some new American made stuff will pop-up in the wake of all of it and people will get sick and tired of the cheap chinese junk breaking after 6 months and go for it with the better quality stuff. And for all you people that think I am crazy, nutthugging etc, whatever you may think I really don't care, just because an amp does it's rated power doesn't mean it's a "good quality amp". I don't understand where the quality part of these people's posts praising this amp is coming into play..... Have you looked inside that thing? It's built like yuck. Not saying it's the onyl one out there, and not saying that the more expensive amps don't break too, but man, just seems to be stooping pretty low buying that garbage. But to each his own. I just hope that after all the bad experiences with the stuff that things will turn around for the better. I don't mind foreign countries making my electronics, but man, wouldn't it be nice to have some US companies to buy my gear from.... I heard Lunar was out of business, Tru isn't really made in the US (maybe board stuffed over here) and not sure if any of the others that I have heard of recently will make it in this economy....

I know some of you may "feel" me, some of you may not.... oh well....

Saw one in action... loud as hell for what it was. Like DB-r said though, it may not last forever like some of the other amps listed.

The design in it is good, the parts in it are good (for the most part) and similar to the Korean amps that most people consider "good". The problem is the way it's made, so cheaply, I don't see how it can possibly survive even just a little vibration for more than 6 months....

I have yet to have a problem with a single one. Be it the 1500 or 3000. And until i do, i will stick with my opinion that they have the highest cost to power ratio around.

 

[ICHASEPAPER2010]

even if i beef up my electrical with another alt still no go????

EDIT: WHAT IF I BUY ANOTHER D2 MOJO

I think you mean highest power to cost ratio. Also I haven't had any trouble with mine yet. Its putting out exactly what its rated for.

I don't have my amp screwed down and mounted yet but its still kicking it fine. I gotta do that soon but I have no time and weather is shit here.
