crunch ground pounder 3000 pro vs ap3000d vs AQX-3500.1

i gotta say though... audiopipe's website sucks... all hype and bling to me just my impression where AQ, who Im not considering anymore, seems solid and personal. I like the feel of AQ.. the amps look solid, subs look solid, website looks solid, I get a good visual from them...only reason I am counting them out is having everything come from Sic...I'll spend the extra $$$ on the crunch just to get it all from him in a big chunk, otherwise the AQ has a better feel, factory direct, no dealer....
so now it is between the AQX-3500.1 because it is so **** cheap and almost everyone backs it up, or the crunch so I can get all that together. AP just sounds generic, audiobahn, audiobling, audio blip, audiojunk... and googling it has very little results... but I assume thats because it is new?

$440 sounds cheap to me for 3k... what were all those 2500 watt amps costing a cpl years ago.. orion 2500d kicker 2500.1 so many for so much makes $440 seem like it really is junk.

Ap doesn't sound generic. When I hear the word crunch I think of bottom line cheap. Hell they make cheaper made products then audiopipe. Not too long ago crunch was sold side by side with boss,legacy etc. Hell you could buy crunch at autozone for crying out loud! The only thing that saved their *** was the gp3000d amp. Even today that is the only badass thing they have made.

Not fully sure on that one there. I have read alot of ppl on the Dbdrag forum using other crunchs amps beside the gp3000d and having great success. Few runs the subs as well. Im not sure on the model numbesr on the subs.

Indeed it does, and there is not much customer service either but for the price and product you get, it is well worth it to me. I am not going to pay for customer service, which is what ends up happening with some other companies.....



Which is why I guess I will never own those amps. I have 4 of the AP3000's, they seem to be rock solid as far as I can tell. So for $280 shipped for 3k, I will take these all day long. Like I said, I am not going to pay for customer service.....

you got build logs? you run 4 AP3000's.. ever had any issues?

I've got a GP3000d Pro and love it...thing is a beast

Kind of power hungry though and will take a shit on you if you can't keep your voltage up, lol

John Carr ran a bunch of them too with no problems.

Also, I have bought many things from the ebay seller that I bought both my 1500 and 3000 from. They have great customer service. No need to pay extra for that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I will start a new build log in a week or so, when the new subs and alt get in. Keep an eye out for it in the build logs section
