I'm raising the //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif. Audiopipes don't just burn up, they're better than that.

Before these amps, I would have been skeptical too. These amps have issues, though, that are bigger than the sum of their parts. These were the most powerful amps ever made by Audiopipe when they came out, but like RD Audio, the Chinese build house seems to have pulled a fast one on old Audiopipe.

Check my video to see what I mean...

Honestly your better off just buying new ones as replacements. I'm sure Chris told ya about things like benchfees etc... Pretty much any repair facility will automatically charge 55-100 just to take a look at it. From there cost depends on replacement parts,labor etc.. by the time you pay a 3-500 dollar repair fee its just not worth the repair.

We send all of our 5k and under warranty issues to Chris. Everything else goes to Arc(Amp Repair Center) in ohio.

Audiopipe APK-3500 Class D 3500W Monoblock Amplifier

audiopipe got smart and started making zenon amps now, now you can buy a zenon 3k plus amp for 550, now thats an amazing deal

If I have to buy new amps, then they definitely wont be Audiopipes (APKs or APUs either for that matter lol). I should have spent the money on a Sundown or AB. If repair on these gets too expensive, then I will likely drop them off a bridge or something.

Thats really messed up Audiopipe...

most people dont realize zenon makes most of the big amps out there cost depends on what logo is on the amp.

Those amps have driver cards only someone doing as a hobby will have time to rebuild them. Not really hard just takes a lot of time.

Rebuilding driver cards are a pain...
