Isn't that Audiopipe amp like the Massive amps? Junk IMO, I HATE those..... BUT if it works it works..... Guess it's a little different than the Massive amp I am thinking of the P1500 or whatever... crappy crappy crappy.... I think someone told me they liked the AP1500 amp you speak of but I am still skeptical guess I need to test one myself to see what it's like.

I think the DP 21" will take 2500rms in a good ported box..... I think 1500 rms is underrating it a good bit.. but you are likely right, I tend to burn subs up overpowering them, so yeah, probably better to stick with a 1500-2000 watt amp.... how about a BXi-2607? I think it does right at 2000 watts (for real, does not do rated, but does do 2000 solid) and may fall in your price range if you shop around.

Since your budget is so low I would get one of these:

BXi-2608. Great amp, $370 new cannot beat that......

I could not find the Audiopipe amp on that site, only the 4001 or whatever......

I've put a few of the Ap's in for people, never had any problems, can't say that for the Hifonics. Don't know how similar they are to the Massive brand, haven't used any.

Sometimes, when they are out-of-stock, they unlist them.

I think I have seen a pic of the inside of that AP amp and it's trashy compared to the build quality of the BXi-2608, so if you haven't had trouble that's good, despite it's cheap appearing build quality at least it is holding up. As for problems with the BXi's? I don't get that many in for repair. Most of them that I do get are user error.... wires coming loose while the amp is playing, people mounting it right to a flexing speaker box tearing it up from vibration, or believe it or not most of the ones I get in for repair are water damaged! People mount them where you can see them in thier trunks I guess because of the pretty lights and therefore they end up getting water right in them from leaky trunk seals.... No other problems with them I am aware of, I can assure you after repairing 1000's of amplifiers the BXi series is a super bargain and built well, only downfall is expectation as they are all slightly overrrated....

okay bxi-2608 or bxi-2006?

For my DP that is rated 1500wrms.

It will be ran at 1 ohm

There is almost a 100 dollar difference
