Daily only? Or is competition a factor? And if it is, what org?

The 200.1 would be my first choice but that's because I run USACi. Take that out of the equation and I'd get the Crescendo. I have two of them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Audiopipe APK-3500 Class D 3500W Monoblock Amplifier

much better amp compared vs the crescendo, same amp as that vlf, korean made and the best for the money

Audiopipe APK-3500 Class D 3500W Monoblock Amplifier (Audiopipe APK-3500 Class D 3500W Monoblock Amplifier)

best deal on an amp you can buy, korean made same design as the american bass boards. the apk5500 is identical to the vlf500.1

Wts: Apk3500 - Car Audio Classifieds (Wts: Apk3500 - Car Audio Classifieds)

look at the guts, way better than a crescendo amp and 18v capable

This is for daily , I'm running a American Bass hd 15 dual 2.. my buddy is a American Bass dealer, can get a brand new vfl 200.1 for $575.00 shipped..

If I plan to sell the Ab amp down the road what kind of resale value does it hold?

WTF? Do you work for that site? Or AP? Where did you get this info that the APK is a "much better amp" than the BC3500?

For a higher budget Sundown Saz-3500, lower budget Crescendo BC 3500..

AB. Amps have great resell value, as is the same with Sundown & Crescendo amps. Another amp you should seriously consider is the Digital Designs M3a. It's definitely on the level of those other amps you mentioned. You should seriously consider it.

do you even know what your taling about

new apk amps are korean amps made same place american bass is made

Audiopipe APK 5500 guts - SMD Forum

look at the guts of the apk5500 identical to a vlf500.1

the problem is that this forum has a bunch of people who nut hug on certain brands and because audiopipe has been know for cheap equipment that dont want to believe that for half the price of their sundown equipment you can get just as good of an amp

experience

clamped results for bc3500 - Car Audio Classifieds

crescendo's not as efficient, they changed build house from original amp. not crazy clamp scores like the old one and like a lot of current to get the power
