Good clamp on the famed AP mini.

Sean from EMF clamped the 1500 for power and efficiency. Amp showed noise as soon as the fan came on and it comes on at start up. I'm on my phone so I can't link it. Can somebody please find this clamp? It's done with the scope showing and he also clamps efficiency. Those amps are truly crap, say what you want but a much better amp can be had for what they cost and the vid proves it better then its ever been proven before.

Test bench or car??

If test bench its invalid

Never mind.



It's a bench but its valid enough to show the fail. It would be even worse in a car

I can't believe the fanboys haven't jumped on this. They are quick to say they are good amps but when the truth comes out they are nowhere to be found.

I've seen enough clamp videos of AP amps to know they are garbage. This is just another one proving it.

All I can say is my old ap3000d make my Rockford t2000 look like a POS in SQ and power output flame all you want I'm not saying Ap is the shi* but in all stuff I've owned I respect AP for what it is and the price its at....

There is only one brand I'll bash people for running and that's Pyle anything else as long as the person who owns it is happy with it the rest of this dumb bs argument isn't even called for

It's not even good for the money. Apsm-1500 is 130 bucks for under 1000 watts with horrible efficency, a fan that's noisy. I don't find any value in that.

If that AP outdid your awesome RF you did something wrong or you don't know what good signal is supposed to sound like

Are you seriously saying a clean 1800ish ( cause ive never seen a AP1500 clamp over 900 and the 3000 is 2 strapped) Audiopipe watts out did one of the best rockford amp lines?

Yeah, something is amiss.

He probably used the dmm method to set the gains to 3000 watts, and was getting a wickedly clipped wave, making it sound louder.

All the while, 90% of the people who buy an amplifier would be delighted with this, and pay a quarter of the price of the Alpine or entry level Rockford that their local shop is trying to sell them.

Wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole myself, but there's plenty worse to be had.

my t2000 was louder then my 3 aspm 1500s so i duno,but dwiz was able to get 1000 watts out of the ap 1000 and only 900 out of the aspm its been proven time and time again by lots of different clamp test they dont do rated but for the money there ok

I hate that statement. How is it ok when it has obvious flaws like that does? It will fail, or not preform, or burn woofers, or with that kind off eff need more support. All those things cost money in the long run and I bet it will end up costing more then just getting a good amp from the start.
