MB Quart or Audiopipe?

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

I am looking at getting either an Audiopipe AP18001D or a MB Quart DSC1500.1D. They are both relatively the same price the MB Quart is $10 more but I was wondering which one would be the better, more powerful, and more reliable amp? I am going be pushing a pair of precision power Pro 124's so the more power the better but I want it to be clean and reliable.

Honestly, I think the MB Quart will last longer in the end. Those audiopipes are great for the price, but they certainly aren't manufactured very well. Ask DB-r, he'll tell ya.

My vote is for the MB Quart!

If you dont run it under 1 ohm, and supply it enough power it will.

And if you dont mount it in a location that has tons of vibration. Quite honestly they are both good amps.

So most say MB quart some say AP. I guess either way I go I should have a good amp. Is the MB quart 1500 as powerful as the AP 1800 because I know that the AP does rated power and maybe then some. Will the MB 1500 put out as much as the AP 1800?

MB quart and hifonics are made by the same company correct? What makes the MB 1500.1 different from the brutus 1610? I have not been able to get any pics of the boards but the specs are about the same and I hear the brutus have been known to be overrated a little
