    So, I really liked my Audiopipe APMI MIni 2k amps. I ran 2 one on each sub (SQ HDC3 15s) and they were awesome little amps for only $170 each. I pulled between 2200 and 2400 watts each on the meter. I even broke out a few times at over 5000 total watts. I switched to the Soundqubed 2250s and I don't pull as much power but they sound a little better.

    The Orion XTR class AB amps are pretty powerful too. After seeing Dereck's video of the 2500.1D, I recommended a friend on getting the Orion XTR500.2 class AB. He put it on a set of 10" Infinitys I sold him, and that little amp pounds the heck out them just as much as my trusty old PPI PC2150!!😳 They have them all the way up to 2,500 watt versions but haven't been seeing them much lately. Almost as if they're discontinuing the 2 channel class AB XTR amps. 😞 In any case, all the ones you talked about are great amps too. Excellent video Robert!! 👌

    I know that people are going to tell me that I'm stupid for not getting an Orion, but I have owned MANY different car stereo setups over the years and I have ALWAYS had good experiences with Soundstream. My last Soundstream setup was a Reference 1000x4 on four of the old school round Kicker Solobaric 10s and it hit hard with tight bass and no distortion. Anyway, I have two Sundown Audio SA12D2s running at 1 ohm (in a 3/4" MDF double wall box that I built with a 6x12 Aeroport) on a Soundstream Rubicon Nano RN1.5000D and it sounds REALLY good on half gain. I paid $185 for the amp and while I'm SURE it makes nowhere near the 5000 watts max that it claims (it's rated 2500 watts RMS @ 1 ohm), but I wanted a 1 ohm stable amp. It's wired with a big 3 upgrade with all 0g OFC wire with reducers, and because I chose the more powerful model it NEVER overheats or cuts out. I got sick of using Maxi fuses, so I went with a 200A breaker this time and it's never tripped yet (knock on wood). That being said, I'd LOVE to have either an Orion HCCA or a Taramps 3000W for my next amp.

Ive heard good things about the Skar amps, sound qubed, and plenty of small and powerful full bridge amps. There is also no shortage of big subs on the cheap that can take the power and sound decent. Used to be if u wanted a 1000 RMS sub u were spending $500 minimum now u can get a beast 12 for 150 bucks.

Could i just unplug the pl1500.1m and install the pioneer gmd-9070. This is my first system and from the dyno numbers ive seen it should be a pretty big difference.

    I don’t usually comment on anything, but I’ll tell you what. I have a pioneer d8601 in my 92 Honda Accord. I bought it because I saw big d test it. I think I paid $120 on amazon a few years ago. Previously I had a 1200 watt hifonics Brutus that worked well for about 6 months. It dimmed my lights and was never as clean sounding as the pioneer. I’ve had kicker Cvx 15”, Lanzar pro 15, and fosgate p1 15” in the same sealed box in my back seat. I have Rockville 15 d4 now, because I wanted to see if they sucked as bad as I’ve seen and read. At this power level they don’t. I was so impressed by this sub amp that I bought the 4 channel amp , d8704 to rum my ct sounds meso 6x9s and alpine 6.5 s with old school German made mb quart tweets up front. Alpine deck. Daily. I’m not a spl competition guy. I crank it up every time I get in the car. I have 120 amp alternator. It hits hard and super clean and never gets warm , 4 gauge quality wire . Some songs can blur your vision. My rear view mirror is useless. I put half a tube of superglue on it and it lasts like 3 days

I hate that the pioneer doesn’t have hpf or lpf. And I own a Zeus amp it’s the 3200 watt but I have always wondered what the true power, if I could go back I would definitely order a different amp that actually does it’s rated power.

Each run can carry 450 amps and the md8k pulls just under 900 amps full tilt with a sine wave. I used welding wire cause it's under my truck along frame rail and welding wire has a better insulator in my opinion. Think it'll be better since it's exposed .

    Do you consider having HPF and LPF filters and the filters' slopes as part of your criteria? To me, besides honest power figures..... those are pretty important features because if you have good crossovers, you might be able to eliminate other equipment upstream of the amplifiers. Curious. Thanks for posting! Interesting group of amplifiers.

    V4 should represent that it’s version 4. You should see a d4 or d2 letting you know it’s either dual 4 or 2ohm. That being said a Sundown SFB1000 would be a nice fit with the d4 models and it’s pretty reasonable price wise and won’t put too much drain on stock electrical amzn.to/3X2lvAJ
