Real World AP3000D Tests !!!!

[BigC-Yukon]

So tonight we took a few hours and sdelthon and myself did some testing on one of my Audiopipe AP3000Ds, I havent clamped one of these for some time now, and wanted to do a nice lil test and result page about them!!

Car used sdelthons 94 T-Bird
Deck used Sony CDX-GT63UIW 2volt preouts
Stock ALT
1 run of 1/0 Audiopipe power
2 Treo SSX100Bs and a Treo SSX75B
1 Ap3000D
2 Treo SSPs 10s dual 2s reading slightly different, final ohm load before rise coming out at 3ohms
Ohm Load calculated after imp rise

So after 2 hrs of play time and a weak charging system the amp is still very strong, and if we could hold in that 14volt range at 2-2.5ohms we will be able to get all of 3kw+ like rated then some, so for $299shipped with warranty these are the best amps on the market for the money, and ill be running 4 of them!!!

Good job on putting everything up! that amp is a beast and I'm definitely going to be running 1 or 2.

why is all Ur shit purple lol?

What kind of equipment did you use? Mainly the clamp meter and DMM brand and model

[iamsonic]

fancy signature and stuff....

lol smiley face.


maybe it's the start of something...

keep watching... {just kidding}

ya got me man.. I don't know what's up. your sig is normal in PMs and stuff.

those are your videos though

I recognize stuff.. {{MAC DMM and Battery}}

The clamp meter is a GP and its accurate with my dads fluke, and we used two dmms one was a mac tools and the other one was a cheaper one!!

Sweet man.
I have a cheap clamp meter that isn't worth a damn. Readings tend to deviate to drastically to be useful in testing like that.
The only thing that would of made it a tad better is to have an o-scope to make sure the output signal was unclipped, but besides that kudos to you for sharing the info.

lookin good dood! with the electrical those will do rated and even sum extra huh? good job now others will know and can trust AP to do whats claimed!

wish i could afford a o-scope but by ear and voltage it sounded very very clean

Thanks and we had more gain left on the amp, and subs nor amp ever got warm after 2hrs so id say climping was very minimal!!
