::TESTED:: Audiopipe AP30001D

I just bought a black ap30001d. Plan on running it at 2ohm hopefully imp rise wont hurt me too bad. Has anyone tried 1 ohm on it?

Oh and imp rise could run you above 2 ohms

sooo possible to run it at 1 ohm bridged after imp rise?

you can wire it to 1 ohm bridged. will not operate any lower it will go into protect. to battle the imp rise you will have to test build test... it's all in the sub enclosure.

I havent ever even checked my imp rise. just dmm the terminals on the box? does sub have to be playng?

 

[fox_racin4]

well the other day i hooked it up at 1 ohm and played it but not full tilt casue i dont want to kill it but i might have to try it out

Yes, the sub must be playing. Impedance is basically the dynamic resistance... so it needs da powah!

Use the DMM for AC Volts on speaker terminals + a clamp meter for AC current, on one of the main the speaker wires. Play a tone just under full tilt. Record the values simultaneously (digicam helps).

If you multiply the values (V*A), you get power.

If you divide the values (V/A), you get impedance.

dont have a clamp meter. Amp should be coming tomorrow. All i have is 4 guage, how will it do for temporary? Maybe I can fit 2 runs into the amp inputs?

 

[tinmanchris217 10+ year member]

uhhh... 4 ga can't handle 1/2 the power this amp needs, unless it's a 1 ft. section of 4 ga.

I'd either set your gains for 1000w power, or hold off until you gets some 1/0 in there.

im hopefully getting the 1800 next week, if you'd like. i'll put up guts of that amp when it comes in :]

 

[tinmanchris217 10+ year member]

Definitely throw em up. More info/data = Mo betta!

1/0 > 4 gauge.

i really hope this 1800.1D will be as leet as it says it is @ 1 0hm. and hopefully not be heating up.

does anyone know the size fuses it has on it?

whether its like, 3 x 30 amp or whatever?

 

[fox_racin4]

well... i looked up the aqx-3500.1d and the fuse rating was 200A now... my ap30001D has 300A worth of fusing seems like the 3500 shoul dhave more? unless it was a typeo

Think the AP D class use inline fusing. I know the 3000 does.

They include a 200 amp fuse with the 3500 and 3000 watt amps. If you dont feel that is enough just replace it with a 300 amp fuse.
