Im buying an audiopipe ap1500 tonight.

What are some pros and cons?

I know its not the best amp but 1500watts for $150 is a deal.

I bought one. Great amp. cannot be beaten at all for that price. Grab it

did it at least sound like it was 1500w?

Gonna run it at 2 ohms for now so electrical isnt a problem.

And yea does it do rated or near?

For sure. had it on 1 15" sub it got very loud. the amp barely got warm after having it on for a while.

I think they do right around rated power. If not it is still very close to 1500 rms and is will not be beat for the price.

I ran all stock electrical and had the big 3 done and It held up pretty good.

1500w for $150 is a great deal

I won't lie, it gets a little toasty during long test-n-tune sessions. The amp has a smaller footprint than many similar amps, and is sort of inefficient for a Class D (~72% at 2 ohm)... so, I' wouldn't expect to run full tilt all day long without going into protect.

I abuse it, and it hasn't broken yet. So it's reasonably durable, unlike Thor's Stetsom (RIP).

It does rated. I've tested multiple times, that it puts out 1100w rms, at 1.8 ohms... 45V & 25A, with very light distortion. This is spot on their rated numbers.
