Re: Ap15001

Haha, yup I'm down to do another vid of the van.

It's nothing crazy being that's it's one 15, but in person, in the van it does sound pretty good. It flexes the sides a bit along with shaking the side-view mirrors. It's nothing like the car with HCCA 12.2.

I picked one of these a couple months ago, haven't even hooked it up yet:

Amp went for around $1500 back in the 90's and was Zapco's benchmark amp at the time.

Ultra-clean class a/b and just marvelous sound quality.

I do want to hook it up for a few days or longer to see what one of the best amps Zapco ever made sounds like on a SA-15.

Re: Ap15001

I gotta say. I think this one is an older run too. It was bought before the time when the AP-30001d wasn't available hardly anywhere and when it was they were pushing the price to well over $400.

So it leads me to believe that (maybe) there was an overzealous Chinese manufacturer, quick production to fill the demand, and things got a little rushed and hustled to market.

So whats the last line before release and sale?

Quality control AP...quality control.

Just a follow-up. Entire set-up was installed summer '10. It's still going strong.

Re: Ap15001

as far as hating on AP I have good reason...they make rated power... but they meter for **** and have horrible sq and efficiency..

some people don't care about any of that so more power to them

I do care and would not use 1 if you gave it to me..

Re: Ap15001

the sae1200 v1 and the ap1500 share the same board the difference in them is components used to build it and the quality of assembly..

Sundown costs more because they do more..

as for the dsc popping that is very hard to believe...especially that many all in a row..
I smell BS or seriously low Impedance's/user error..horrible electrical etc..

w/o vids it didn't happen lol even maxxsonics haters on CA love the DSC because they are inexpensive, do over their rated power, and have excellent efficiency given the power output..

Eric ran 8 of them strapped at 1 ohm ( .50 per amp...)...never popped a single 1..

Re: Ap15001

well acutally idk just looked up the ap1500 board an re12.1 board an they dont look alike, my bad. could of swore though i read somewhere they had the same boards.

Re: Ap15001

i have a re12.1 which uses the same board as the ap1500 an i love it also. have it at .7ohm before rise right now an it takes it like a champ. lights dim though on full tilt but thats expected with complately stock electrical, gonna get a small extra bat soon. but the re is only rated at 1200wrms at 1 ohm so idk why that is maybe just under rate it? or maybe they did some tweaking to board? who knows but i love it none the less.

Re: Ap15001

Yup that is one thing about that amp. It is (not) efficient. I had to install a small extra battery like the one I run because his lights were flashing like a cop car. He's happy though. It's his first real set-up and he's been beating the piss out of those AP 15's since June of last year and everything's holding up fine so far.

Re: Ap15001

i dont like the AP even though i have never played with one but i have played with sevral of the DSC becouse the orginal kept breaking so my team mate got a new one each time 3 of them failed before he got a good one (+ for CS) but not impressed by the product

and as far as electrical when i put the good dsc 1500 in my truck as a temp setup i had voltage drops almost equal to my saz 3500

Re: Ap15001

Just a follow up review. I just talked with the guy I installed the system for and listened to it. It's still going strong as ever. I have his gain set so really he's getting 750 rms per sub. No bass boost at all. The system is still wanging hard and clean. I did have to re-tighten down some of the subwoofer screws but that was it.

The amp was definitely a great purchase. His system slams, daily.

Re: Ap15001

i have one and what i like about it is the wired knob. it is not a base boost knob it is the gain setting. yes gain not base boost.check for your selves you can set the gain on the amp and that will be the limit for the knob meaning set amp gain half way up and the max knob position(all the way up) will be max of set gain on amp which is half gain. i have 2 re se 10's with no base boost on amp or base adjustments on head unit that this amp pushes so well

btw are you really selling that amp for that much? I paid less than that for mine new and I got it from a store and not online....

my subs are D4..but the dimming is gone..it was a tuning issue...but yeah 185 may be a bit steep..how much did you pay new?

Re: Ap15001

I can't truly say because I don't know much about the MB Quart amp, but I do know that it does rated power.

Re: Ap15001

great products. I sell them all the time. as close to true power as youll get at this price. i run a 3000.1 on 2 dd9515's and it slams. i just recently hooked up 2 txxbd audiopipe 15's on 2 1500's and it gets loud, really loud. i acuatlly put them in the same setup, 10 cubes at 38 hertz. hope u enjoy your new system and AUDIOPIPE 2 THUMBS UP.
