What budget amp for a single 12?

Is that one better than the Audiopipe I was looking at?

Yes

Yes

Agreed.Audiopipe is low entry level gear/CHEAP! Out of 1500watts, you may see 500 rms??Maybe

Alpine Mrp-m500 is where its at.

$149 on ebay brand new freeship

300w @ 4ohm

I have a good friend of mine that uses it and has had it for about a year and a half and he has had no issues.

Go with the Onyx so you can upgrade later like I said on the first page...

Coming back to this thread.. I honestly think that it is overkill to buy a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. Infinity Ref subwoofers have something like 12mm xmax and 250-300 watt power handling. Instead of buying a dedicated subwoofer amplifier, but a 4-channel. Bridge two channels for subwoofer and use the other two channels to power your front speakers. This would be a better arrangement. My favorite budget 4-channel amplifier is PPI Power P900.4. The normal price is 200-250 online, but lately one could buy one from sonicelectronix for as low as $170 shipped with various promotion codes available. I use one of these amplifiers to power an Infinity Kappa 120.9w subwoofer (by the way, if you can afford it, get one of these as they're better than Reference subs, online price is around $140)

I'm pretty ok with how the front speakers sound off the deck. They are plenty loud for me and they stay clean as loud as I want to play them.

Cyclops Hifonics VII VIII mono amp will out perform all the amplifiers stated @4,and 2ohms stable with stock vehicle voltage,bar nun.I will make a vedio in about a month from now to show the real true power from an old school amplifier, of true wattage+rms power.Doesnt need 4ga for power supply like all the other amps, and you dont need to beef up your electrical to get rms out of the amplifier as todays need.The more power you give this amp, the more it draws, and pushes.CHEATER Amp,It beat the dog snott out of an old school 12in Stroker @1"oClock!

Problem there is they haven't made them in 20 years. I think OP is looking for something that can be had new.

This is quite a nice amp, good sounding made in USA. If your woofer can show a 4 ohm final load this amp will make legit power. I used to own a few of this series.http://www.amazon.com/AURA-MR-2150-2-CHANNEL-AMPLIFIER/dp/B0011YWMAU

This right here!

Small, cheap and not budget quality by any means!

Looks like a good sale but unfortunately I cannot purchase anything for at least another week.

Actually pretty set on either the Audiopipe APSM-1500

Or the MB Quart ONX1.1500d

Just can't decide if the ONX is worth the extra $$

 

[Shinju 10+ year member]

I would go MB Quart, one I used one and its a great amp, 2 I have no idea about the Audiopipe.

I wrote a review on the Autotek M4000.1 (same board as the MB Quart Onyx) check it out its in the amplifier section.
