Looking for a decent 1500w RMS AMP

[_s_m_a_c_ 10+ year member]

If your looking for a true monster of an amp at 1500 rms - go with the Exile xi1500. Best amp I have ever used but you won't touch it for under $700.

i see that some places selling this amp say 4gauge max input and some say 0 gauge.
MB quarts site says 4gauge in the PDF manual.

http://www.maxxsonics.net/manuals/mbquart/pdfs/MBQuart08DiscusAmplifierManual.pdf

I'm sure 4gauge will carry the 1500rms just fine at 2ft, but I purchased 100ft of pretty 1/0 gauge already.

That manual doesn't even have the 1500.1D in it, though. Hmm, now I'm somewhat concerned about which gauge to get for this amp.

I'm going to sell my t10001bd's and get 2 of the MB quart 1500's. unless someone can recommend 1 amp 3000-3500rms @ 1ohm I can get for under 400$ NEW that will perform just as well.

i think that audiopipe 3000 goes for around 350 and two of those mbquart straped together will only be 2ohm stable

not to sound totally NEW, but do I have to strap them?

I have no experience with audio pipe. would a AP30001D put out 3000 watts at 14v 1ohm?

304.95

Audiopipe AP30001D 3000W 2Ch Class D Amp w/Remote Bass Control

ever deal with caraudiodeals.com before?

Very nice price

It's a whole lot easier as far as tuning goes compared to running one amp per sub or per voice coil.

wow that amp is great. two AP15001D's strapped internally.

can do 3000rms at 2ohms x1 chan

or I can run 1500rms @ 1ohm x2 chan

Gives me some options for D2 15's

I'm sold.

I just bought an AP 1500d from them last week. It shipped out and was here in 2 days. No issues at all.

 

[d77543020 10+ year member]

the have the audiopipe for 312.00 shipped on ebay right now

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

but he is asking for 1 ohm stable amp not 2ohm the audiopipe 30001 is 2 ohm stable, thats why i recomend the aqx3500.1 for 417 new or my crucn gp3000d 400 shipped

 

[randpost 10+ year member]

im looking @ 3000 - 3500rms @ 2 ohm x 1 Chan

or

1500 - 1750rms @ 1 ohm x 2 Chan

------

The AQX3500.1 doesn't really provide what I'm looking for.

I heard that the AP30001D runs at 1ohm x 2 chan just fine as long as I have adequate electrical.

320a Alt. 180a @ idle

3 KHC1400's

4 runs of 1/0 gauge from front batt to back batts

Should be fine for that amplifier.
