Audiopipe AP3000.1D... trying to get some answers

[Gearstix 10+ year member]

I think there are a few people on here with AP3000.1Ds.

I've got one bought. Its not here yet.

I've got some questions. I've been trying to find out what the max size wire you can fit into the speaker terminals. 8 gauge?

The power inputs are 0 gauge, right?

Are they fused?

Not fused

Yes 1/0 is the Power and Ground input size

8 gauge is the speaker terminals size

Thanks!

I asked tech support that and they told me it was 0 gauge power inputs (I was just checking) but he didn't tell me what size the speaker terminals were, even though I asked.

you can always get reducers if need be

Also it should come with a fuse and holder. My 4 did at least.

I bought mine used. I forgot to check if it comes with the bass remote though.

I have #1 welding cable for my wire, 50ft of it.

Should I go with 0/1 or what?

That wire will work. Do 2 runs (1 pos, 1 neg)

What size fuse did it come with? I think whats in mine is a 200A

 

[mgcauctions09 10+ year member]

yes, 200 amp

How much power are you going to try to pull through the amp?

I'm only pulling about 1400 watts, because I'm just using 2 12" RESE's.

youre gonna love this amp

someone explain to me how u get 3000 watts from this amp, it can't rms. with a 200 amp fuses , if so that's gotta be the best amp ever. other amps regardless of price with 200-250 amp fusing don't come close, i've seen the birthsheet of the fosgate bd2000 it did about 2900 watts and it has a 250 amp fuse.

Don't stress it, Corrie.

I had the same issue. AP15001D's have 100 amp fuses, yet I was drawing nearly 100 amps at 2 ohms... Just choose your fusing accordingly. I'm at 50% higher fusing (150 amp).

Depending on your ohm load, drop in the smallest fuse that will handle the power you're pulling. Forget the recommended value, in this case.

You will never see over 200 amps on music. 200 amp fuse is just fine, Hell if you are worried just buy a 300 amp fuse. Problem solved! But yes, it does 3000 watts at 13.8 and about 3100 if you can keep voltage at 14.4.
