Best Budget ~1500w @ 1ohm?

[ctmaudi 10+ year member]

Going to need about 1400rms at 1 ohm, so looking for the best deal on a 1500-1800w amp.

I was looking at the Audiopipe 1800 for $170, and the Hifonics BRZ-1700 for ~$200. Any others in that price range? I would get an SAZ-1500D, but doubt Id be able to find one that cheap, and Id like to get new to have a warranty.

Id like to get whatever is the most efficient / least current hog, and cleanest power of the budget amps.

I dont know anything about them. How does it (or Soundstream all together) stand against the others?

Well, the subs I thought I got I didnt, so wont be needing this after all. Still curious though.

I have a Power Acoustik A3000DB rated at 2300 RMS, to give you plenty of headroom. 190 plus shipping-TRADED-

AP, MB Quart, pretty much all of the above are all good budget amps.

(I like AP, but MB Quart is very nice too!)

AP1500s and 1800s are ROCK SOLID amps. Do every bit of rated power with a clean signal. Just dont run them below rated impedance.

Get the BRZ 1700 it has more power and it's underated, and if that's $200 from a authorized dealer, that makes it even better

Go with Audiopipe, you won't be disappointed. I don't think you can get much more bang for your buck in car audio.

Thanks for the mention sir //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif MB Quart ONX1.1500D is a solid choice, especially considering the price ($188 shipped free), so is the Audiopipe AP15001D for about $145. Great bang for the buck.

I'd go with ONX1.1500D but I won't say for sure that it's THE BEST. How many people have seriously compared them (as in owned both and put them head-to-head) and truly found a reason to recommend the MBQ over the AP or vice-versa?
