Audiopipe APCLE-2004 Amp Dyno and Unboxing

[@crazy8sdrums]

Thank you for the review though. What you do is such a great service for the car audio community. Cheers Ryan!

[@jar1zxrcfun75]

Your vids have really improved this year. Keep em coming.

[@davidrogers9464]

I would like to see another test on a different one.. the bass knob being crushed and the owner saying they weren't nice to it in shipping is very suspect... I have an apcl2004 that has been abused by several people and myself for many years and she still has never given any issue.. this experience with it is why I purchased 2 APDLI2504's for my newest build.. I think another chance needs to be given to this model or any of the newer ones. I would also love to see if there really is any difference between the dealer line and consumer line.. and if there is anything different in my apdli2504's than my apcl2004.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

Oh man! I'm getting 6 of these, I love over complicated settings!!!

[@michaelzernie7092]

Peoe do need to take better care when shipping. My APCLE30001.D came with a bent mounting bracket. I've had the APCLE2004 hooked up to four audiopipe redline 500w 6x9s. Been almost a year and it still beating on the speakers. So sorry dude. I have had no problems with this amp. I do agree however that all the switches makes it difficult to tune properly. Took about 2 hrs to figure it out lol.

[@jfrench830]

Can you do a review on the APCLE-1800 D? Your reviews really help.

[@jfrench830]

Already done. Thanks man

[@jfrench830]

Also. What battery do your reccomend to run under the hood if you have a music system? I have an additional AGM battery in the trunk.

[@jfrench830]

I get mixed reviews on battery Isolators. Some say you need them, some say you dont. I'm confused...lol!

[@giltyler3ubm]

Pop goes the weasel Thanks for the test of the amplifier and hopefully others will think twice before buying one that can not do the basics in a controlled environment free from heat and vibration

[@awaazhoosein6565]

It comes with a manufacturer problem i got 1 and had to modify it to work better it does get really hot and draw alot of amps when u start ur car and give it that 14v haha it pop is jus a few parts u have to change then all is good

[@tatert.v.9908]

I would love to see a Lanzar opti drive amp on the bench!! I dont think anyone has done one...Thankd for the video!!!

[@catch22frubert]

Tater T.V. Ryan has done the Opti 700x2 on this channel not that long ago, but I agree, I'd love to see a class D monoblock optidrive on the bench.

[@tatert.v.9908]

Awesome sounds good cant wait to see how they do!!

[@nicholascortez728]

He already tested an Opti 700x2, thing was a monster

[@rmblwgn]

Orion xtr 750.4 is $150!!! Its a class ab monster with 120a of fusing. It was previously branded as the 1000.4 so that gives you an idea how underrated it is. it's even got Tiffany style RCA's! when you open it up you feel like you spent your money really welland almost feel proud of owning it because Orion is really trying their best to match the original quality of the 90s

[@amanteapasionado6836]

So did you have to buy him a new amp or did he just charge it to the game?

[@ThePurePlayaz]

Wow the apcle is supposed to be the newest line and upgraded apcl... Sorry to the guy that bought it but it was for a VERY good cause. I love my apmi2k but kinda steered away from audiopipe for my mids and highs amp. Better out there... Thanks for another great test Ryan!

[@chrisjones6165]

I have the apmi on my 2 15s. Pry close too 150db now about to add a 2nd and strap em. Only complaint is it gets so damn hot compared to my old aq 2200. Does yours get hot on you?

[@ThePurePlayaz]

I have mine suspended in the air in the back of my wagon. Gets warm but never shuts off or anything like that. Been a real gem for me. Ran at 1 ohm.

[@chrisjones6165]

Focus Dark Audio mines at .5 but with rise well over 1.9 so should be fine. Have bolted to back seat with half in spacers for vibration and air flow. Have had shut off a few times.. usually on 30 plus min drives over 90 degrees out as well. 250 amp alt. 2 group 31s in back and all oversized ofc wire.. sky high, some DD so voltage is good. Can't wait for 2nd amp to strap em and see. Hopefully that fixes heat issues, just worried about crazy rise

[@matthewwoods8241]

I love audiopipe

[@davidjames4887]

Looks like it has nice cooling on top

[@JustinGrosz]

One would think that being a 4 channel it would be used for mids and highs. testing would be done at 1k not 40hz.

[@WalkingBlessin]

Right 💯

[@mistanotu8791]

Qould you recomend the 8704 the 8604 price is way up now

[@joevalencia945]

Mines keep cutting off, at high volume and the amp be hot af

[@easylooker4889]

Maybe put a breaker in line you can just flip to keep current from flowing to burned up amp?

[@1rexrex]

picked up a Fosgate r400-4 off Amazon Warehouse last week. $113, and it kicks the shit out of the MTX Thunder 75.4. That amp was a disappointment. Ran real hot. Only running a pair of Kenwood 3-ways a Fosgate 12" p1. R400 rocks for hours and you can still touch it. MTX could cook bacon in 20 min.

[@timmturner]

carl rogers Fosgate amps generally run hot but it's a stable hot, I only have experience with Punch though, not Prime. I have read the R400 runs hot as well but if like the Punch series it won't go thermal.

[@jonathanayala1459]

You made it pop all other test where good. Numbers where there. why did you continue to put overstress into the amp?

[@bigblank69]

I did not intentionally make that amp pop... Why would I intentionally make a amp pop that I had on loan from a viewer? Amp couldn't make its number sorry

[@colorblind1983]

Great vid! Ever though about teating pioneers low end stuff, like their cheap 2 channels? I bought a refurb gm-a5602 for 58 dollars and I really like it. Now they are going for about 80 bucks ish.

[@crazy8sdrums]

I was interested in the Audiopipe apmi-2000 because it seemed to be good boom for the buck...but wanted to also get a matching 4 channel amp to go with it. Researching those, all I found was illogically engineered garbage from Audiopipe. The 4 channel of the same series had its crossovers and gain knobs literally underneath the amplifier...you had to unbolt the amp from where you installed it to change settings! Fuckin ridiculous! I tried researching their website too...and that site is the biggest pile of hooey ever! It has only a PDF of their catalog that doesnt zoom well enough in to even read the text..absolutely useless. I went with Soundqubed instead...

[@TheShamiester]

What is the brand of the green and yellow clamp meter?

[@branimirdragic8531]

Can You test some european amp's Like (focal,Hertz,Mac audio ...) Please.

[@chuckd9007]

Say mother fucking forks again...its a god damn spade terminal!

[@catch22frubert]

Disapointing audiopipe didn't improve on the apcl line with this refresh. They had an opportunity to prove themselves, and they literally blew it. Thanks for the test Ryan. Top notch as always.

[@ds18durango71]

They tried to improve the Apcl lines with the Apcle which literally was better components such as upgraded mossfets. As I stated in above comments, I have never run one of these amps, however was only impressed with the Apcl2504 and the Apnk2504 when it comes to 4 channels. He as I think got a bad amp as it popped (happens to every amp producer, so not really a fair test. Would like to see what it does in a fair testing application as Audiopipes Qc didnt obviously catch this one

[@catch22frubert]

Ryan Blankenship Nice. I was wondering if they did a refresh for the 1800. That's a highly requested amp. Hopefully it doesn't pop like this one did.

[@musraniaa7093]

Ryan Blankenship yeyyy waiting for apcl18001d,,,good job ryan

[@2011joser]

Great job again Ryan. Its confounding how random the quality of the Audiopipes amps is. Spend the money for an ill placed fan and excessive tuning options but yet throw in crappy power and speaker connectors? Too much of a gamble to buy any of them.

[@rmblwgn]

You-ify products are the most wacky and random of any brand I've ever seen. Look at their subs and the Halloween decoration looking materials they use. yeah their stuff isn't off-the-shelf and they seem to have a proprietary build house but wow is it sketchy looking

[@jamest4363]

Why didn't you show us the guts of the amp after it cooked? I would have liked to see what all got burnt up.

[@jamest4363]

Ryan Blankenship well that explains why, I wasn't being critical of it. I was just curious as to why. Makes sense now.

[@tatsuo91]

Hey Ryan, in 4ch amps wich has remote level adjuster, this remotes affects both channels mono, or only 1 mono channel?

[@tatsuo91]

Ryan Blankenship thank you bro, hope you make a video of what happens

[@catch22frubert]

Ryan Blankenship It would be cool if you tested the bass knobs on every amplifier. Its a fairly important feature to most people, but we never get to see it in action or hear your opinion about thier function.

[@Road2Rally]

I agree

[@downtoearthmario5718]

You can choose between 2 channel or all 4

[@downtoearthmario5718]

Bought this same amp ,had it for 2 1/2 years ,@ 75% it runs my bass,mids and highs comfortable

[@jasonneal]

I never understand why dyno a 4 Channel amp in bridged mode running 40hz when almost no one operates a 4 channel amp that way. Why not dyno the amp on a single channels running 1k hz. I know it supposed to simulate the same, but like I said almost no one buys these amps to run subs.

[@bigblank69]

The 40hz track is the toughest, and some people do run the rear channel of a 4 channel to.run a subwoofer

[@jasonneal]

Budget Gem or Budget Bust yes, I understand that. And yes some people buy a 4 channel to run mids and highs and a sub. But 90% buy a 4 channel to run just mids and highs. I would say dyno both ways. BIG D does that on some amps. He dyno’s the 1k track to see if any difference in results. You just don’t see a lot of dyno on 4 channel amps.

[@xxpanchov]

please! audipipe apcl 6004 dyno test

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

When it comes to 4CH amplifier's IMO I bet down hard on SQ 4CH amplifier's...buy cheep SPL doors but what you want & there are some nice SPL 4ch AMPS but SQ 4CH amplifier's IMO are what's working best for me!

[@justanotherguitarplayer9767]

Audiopipe is like the Spam in the back of your kitchen cabinet imo. Bottom of the barrel, cheap and a bit embarrassing, but it's there if you need something.. No-one in their right mind should really be proud to own and run that junk, but clearly some are.

[@kooltechno5108]

hey rayan nice work u doing bin watching I know two mini amplifiers I think u should dyno its tda8954th 420/420 watts an irs2092s 500WATts mono

[@suzukiman650]

What 'engineer' thought that putting the fan on the bottom like that makes any sense whatsoever?

[@jolmeaki]

Lafond RC Seriously lol.

[@arthurkitchen9582]

Lafond RC someone that builds crap that suckers buy!!!

[@bobdodge3171]

My sundown has a fan on the bottom.. Pure junk

[@mitchellroberts7954]

For that price you're better off getting that badass Mmats audio 4 channel and you'll get the same power if not more! MMats LS800x4

[@xalint1]

That sucks that it popped on you. It sounded like a transistor pop.

[@conniedickerson3086]

That amp still ant bad some pepole rate it 5 stars

[@trucavalier]

I wonder how people hit the remove from cart after this lol

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

I guess you got a bad one. I saw you Dino another audiopipe and it was a great review. And it didn't pop. I guess you always take a chance on that brand.

[@ezequielmurillo266]

Only 600w and cost 150 dollars. Wtf

[@hortonj63]

Open it up and show what blew!

[@hortonj63]

10/4. Insane that it popped though.

[@timmturner]

Why are you testing a 4 channel amp @ 40hz? *edit* Magic smoke escaped, I commented before that happened.

[@majorwilkesjr.5827]

5:16 Not border line . Absolutely ridiculous

[@ds18durango71]

Perhaps it was a bad amp

[@ds18durango71]

I can't generally comment on this amp, never run one tbh, just throwing suggestions, the only 4 channels that I have been impressed with from Audiopipe is the Apcl2504 and the Apnk2504, and on the real the Apnk 2504 is a beast even with amp guts, would be great to see how it does

[@ds18durango71]

I know that was making a suggestion lol

[@jit9925]

The amp is just shit. Had one for 1 week and randomly popped

[@Astrothunderkat]

china junk I know hifonics isn't very good anymore, but who knows! test some of those!
