LOL that sarcasm joke was funny.
I have a question guys.

I had a Memphis 1000d amp in my car for a little while, and a US amp wired for 2000 watts.

I think I experienced that inefficiency you were talking about. My car batteries didn't like the memphis but took the us amp just fine.

Don't questions usually end in question marks?

We tested a Hifonics 2kw and Sundown 2000 on exact same electrical and vehicle/setup/sub and the Hifonics was exactly 1 db down. Big price difference for a db. Just sayn'.

Possibly? Aren't they supposed to? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

"I use my Audiopipe ASPM-1300 at 1 ohm doing 750 watts, because thats all I need to push"

You still don't get it. Power isn't the only important factor when buying an amp.

The world may never relies this

Why are we fighting over this? Simple as this:

If it works for a persons specific case, it works.

If it doesn't, it doesn't.

I think the part people seem to overlook with the AP amps is the inefficiency. People can live with the fact that they don't sound as good and are slightly over rated as they feel like they are saving money. But if you are saving $40 buying the amp, only to have to invest $100+ on a new battery or big three to run it, is it really worth it?

anyone who is smart should help me with my question because that'd be nice. but anyways will an mb quart onx 1500.1d be more efficient running at 2 ohms than a kicker dx1000.1 running at 2 ohms? as in will it be harder or easier on my electrical than the kicker? the kicker is the 2011 model that does 1000 watts at 2 ohms btw

You're the one bringing up power over and over. We understand that you're looking for 750 watts. What we're trying to tell you is that regardless of the price and power output, the amps are inefficient, introduce noise, and are all around poop. You're risking your entire electrical system by running this amp. You're risking your new subs. You're risking your battery. Your alternator. Hell, it could start a fire. Do you have the proper fire extinguisher in your vehicle? Do you think buying an amp that's $50 cheaper than quality(relative to Audiopipe, at least) amps is really worth risking all of this?

Fuck yes, I'm sensationalizing. It doesn't make any of this incorrect. Inefficiency creates heat. Heat is bad.

You probably won't notice the noise, and if you end up upgrading to a quality amp down the line, you'll likely not hear a difference. However, if you were to clone your vehicle as it is, and used a quality amp in one, and that AP in the other, you'd notice a difference.

And you need to realize the difference between people who have used Audiopipe and don't know better, and people who have used Audiopipe and know better. The people who don't know better will go around toting, "It's tiny and makes my subs go boom!" while the ones who know better will sell it/throw it away and say, "Wow, that amp should not have been so hot. And did you hear that constant buzzing? What was that all about?" Like others have said, do what you want; we don't have control over you and your purchases. You're the one making the mistake.

the price difference comes into play, when you have a hifoincs that lasts 6 months and you throw it away, hell everyone i no can say yea i got a hifoincs in the garage, its blown though lol...

your paying for a higher quality build, with a better backing and customer support. and im sorry but i would take a saz2000 over a hfi2000 ANY DAY!!!
