Audiopipe,,looking for opinions

[91caprice 10+ year member]

saw someone mention the audiopipe Ipipe 15s,for bang for the buck on new subs. and did a bit of looking online and found a new pair of 15s for 250 shipped on egay. im kinda looking on doing a loud system on somewhat of a budget.its not a problem but id like the "wow" factor that i spent a small amout of cash than the band wagon guys and sound be alot louder than them. my plan is four ipipe 15s and a pair of ap3000s or four ap1500s in a subs up/port back setup in my 87 s10 blazer. any thoughts?

Well If they ever fix the search. You could just search for the audiopipe amps. There are plenty of threads about them. Even go into the amp section and just scroll down Im sure you will find a few right there.

As to the sub. I have heard some good things about them. But I think its the higher end audiopipe subs. Not the Ipipe subs. I seen them and heard a few setups not impressed.

You havent heard them in the right install then, the Ipipe subs with 3" coils will handle 1500w a piece. Some people here are running the amps at .5 ohm daily, and i have 2 of the new ap1800s on the way here. Ive used the 4ch, the 1500, the 3000, all of it is stout equipment. The Ipipe is the high end sub, you may have been checking out some older models.

yeah i saw their 2008 catalog and the ipipe was the top of the line,all the othe subs are less rms. http://www.audiopipe.com/images/catalog/20.jpg

so it seems that for the buck you get a good bang with their stuff. i might just go this route. thanks for the input Drchronic.

Ap subs are decent SPL subs but they have terrible sq. You would be better off with something else.

i want to be loud, im not going to enter any sq comps so its not an issue.

I don't enter SQ comps either but I don't want my subs sounding like farts...lol I have some SPL subs I could sell you that would be cheaper and nicer than these audiopoops.

If you want serious SPL on a budget get a LANZAR 1533d.

dont seem like 300 a piece is a great budget sub. for 250 i could get a pair of AP ipipes shipped. or for 300 i could pick up a used 18.

I got mine for 250 shipped. My buddy put up 154 db with one in Navigator. They are serious subwoofers. They take over 3 k all day long.

I've heard nothing but good things about everything these guys make. That are out of Miami and living here in South Florida they are huge. I use there amps and swear by them. Great product for the money!

Youre all about that optidrive stuff lately i see, whats the big deal about a sub taking 3k when you can move another sub the same amount with 1/4 the power? The new optis look just like anything else, RE SE, FI Q, etc. I heard an opti 15 one time on 1500w and wasnt impressed at all. The audiopipes are VERY efficient with their power, guess its in the motor design.

OP you may be interested in this thread.

DrC, what AP amp(s) would you reccomend for four of 15s?

 

[I Like Waffle]

2 of the AP 1800s would do them good, but they can handle alot more power. Thermally, about 1500 a piece. In a good nice sized box theyll get to moving with about 750-1k a piece.
