I can link you to bench tests that show the AP3K doesnt do rated.

can i see??? a friend of mine was sponsored by AP, and both of his 3ks put out more than rated.

Im with u on everything u say up there but the bold part.. ap3000 .5 daily?? I will pay for proof. I think u meant 2ohm and it was just a typing error but if you meant .5ohm then. My money offer stands

I was talking about the AP1500 -- sorry. The ap3k can handle a strapped 1 ohm load, assuming you keep your voltage up. Though I wouldn't risk it

This. I've seen clamp tests showing the ap putting out something along the lines of 2800w @ 3.2 ohms on 13v

Search on TermPro. Someone benched it at 1 ohm at 12.2v and got 26xx and change out of it.

Not a clue. Pretty sure the post didnt say.

Irrelevant. The higher the ohm load the more efficient it is. The lower it drops the less efficient it is. Last time I checked 4.5 =/= 2 either.

Irrelevant. The higher the ohm load the more efficient it is. The question isnt what it does at 4.5 ohms. Its if the amp does rated at 1 ohm.

It's not meant to be played at 1 ohm, so the question is if it does rated at 2.

Im not sure what its rated at. Ive been seeing conflicting specs. Some say its rated for 1500@4, some say 1800@4, some say 2000@4 and 3000@2. Almost all other sites are conflicting on the ratings as well.

Glad you got it right. None of the online retailers can.

I have a feeling they made some changes to their amps and the ratings were changed as a result. Those should be the most recent ratings though I got this amp like 6 months ago

vminnovations has it right in the features not the descriptions.

Only difference I read between the black and silver was that one had a protection circuit. Other than that everything else was identical.

The only thing I see retailers have wrong is that its 2 ohm lowest not 1 ohm. I haven't seen anything else speced wrong especially power rating.

Its the black model that has the protection.
