$90 for a Class A/B 4 channel? Audiopipe APMI-4080 on the Dyno!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2018
- Audiopipe brings a lot of value in their APMI Monoblock series, but what about their 4 channel amps? Last time we tested a APCLE-4150 it busted on the dyno... can this one do better? This APMI-4080 is rated at 4x78W @ 4ohms, is class A/B, is tiny in size and costs only $90... if it does what it says for this amount of money it represents an INCREDIBLE value... In this video we will unbox this amp and strap it up to our trusty amp dyno and see just how much power it produces.

Great video as always, Ryan. Good little amplifier. Thanks for putting her on the dyno
Thank you for doing more multi channel amps!
Thanks for your time on this with you living in a hotel that is why u ROCK !!!!! I look forward to watching your video every week you are the man, thanks for all that you do for the AUDIO COMMUNITY !!! Apparently some don't understand the pain of moving and living in a hotel room with out having the ability to get to all of your stuff !! God bless you and your family and keep up the great work !!!!!!
Solid little amp for a great price. Thanks for showing us brother.
APMI continues to be the budget gem.. Great test.
please keep testing audiopipe amps! they have released a lot of new amps recently and they seem like hidden gems
Great find Ryan. A little late for me though as I just bought and installed the pioneer 4 channel you tested a while back. Its coming out because the sq is so bad compared to the class ab amp it replaced. Going to give this one a try. Thanks for putting vids out during your move.
Awesome...I was looking at this for my second 4 channel ...good stuff.love my apcl 1500
Damn good little find.....good job ryan
Nice vid.. Keep up the gr8 work... Waiting to see the zapco St 1350xm redone🙂
Great video once again
Thanks keep the videos coming
Looks like I’ll be replacing my old Memphis amp to this one to match my APMI2000. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much. I've been looking and hopeing to find some info on this. Haven't watched yet but I'm just very thankful your doing this one because I'm looking for a 4 channle class ab amp to try. Also I have 2 of the apmi 2ks that you reveiwed a little while back. I strapped 2 of them and hooked them up to 2 psi platform 1 10s in a 4.5 cubic ft box, great amps. I cracked the plate off the glass that holds my rearveiw mirror once I raised the tuning of my box from 25hz-30hz. Btw I did the numbers on the Wolfram 2400 on pre order and it is a better value, for now.
Finally- they cut u some slack, 60 thumbs up and ZERO thumbs down as of this. LOL.
I can't believe you put out a video in the middle of move, from a hotel. Many props to you and much appreciation for going through that hassle for us. Thanks dude.
Richard R Now someone already disliked it 😂😐
Not bad at all Ryan great video like always
That thing is pretty beastly. I might be a little petty, but the controls being on the bottom could be a deal breaker for me. That means I would have to have everything set perfectly before it's mounted to the amp rack.
Exactly right about the settings. Other than it already being audiopipe them putting the settings on the bottom turned me off
Agree on the inconvenience of the controls on bottom. Not very practical for those of us who are constantly adjusting.
I think it's great that the controls are on the bottom. Especially from an installers point of view. That way you don't have the guy's brother, Uncle, or Buddy cranking up the gains.
Missing your dynos and gut shots ... Hope there's more to come.
Definitely a budget gem!
Plus it's AB.
Would make that a tweeter amp and that should help the heat issue. Nicely done AP!
im going to be running 3 of these for my mids and highs.
The settings on the bottom of the amp was a deal breaker for me. But it’s good to see that it did it’s rated power plus.
6:28 when the video begins
Reminds me of a re-engineered Rockford 4080 with controls instead of the cards you flip underneath.
Wow!!! That's impressive!
I bought the Dual xpr84d because of your review. I would have gone with this amp but the dual is smaller, more efficient, and easier to setup because of the input settings location.
Worth all money!
This should be a PSA for everyone who talks down on Audiopipe from hear-say, and not from experience with the product. Cheap does NOT always equal bad. I ran an Audiopipe APDL 1600.1 on 2 Audiopipe TXXBD2 15s for almost 2 years and and had zero problems or complaints. The only reason I dont have them now is because I went full competition mode with another underdog, DB Drive. The Audiopipe setup, with the right electrical, tune, and box, will hurt feeling all day long. And that's coming from someone who has hurt said feelings 🤷♂️💯😎
Love the bottom settings... Keeps the customers from f-ing with it!
Where have u been I need more amp testing videos please
Nice. Im using an old audiopipe 1500 watt class d that still works great. Its decent stuff for the price. A damn sight better than boss
I own this amp and it pushed 4 kicker 6x9 rated at 100rms and i had tweeters attached also
Great video.
Hey has anyone ever told you you sound like Louis C.K?
Or he sounds like you, depending who's older lol.
You the MAN!💯💣❤👍😊
Audiopipe for the win!
What up Ryan! I'm new to posting here, and I love your channel, but the main reason for the post is your amp dyno "track!" It's fantastic! Who is it, and more importantly, where can I find it! Thx...
Just bought the Ampn-4095.. love it!! $103
Hope all is well man, waiting for a new video. If you ran out of ideas I suggest you should try blowing up speakers to see how much they can handle or tips and tricks on setting gain or install. or a Christmas gift idea list.
Great videos keep it up!! Should try the New Dual 1000w Walmart amplifier!!
I have one and it pushes 4 6.5 and 4 6x9 with no problem and it's punchy
Hey I like ur videos man. Is any way you can try to test the Rockford Fosgate Prime R300X4 or the R250X4? Thanks
Thank you for this since I'm still in the market for a 4 channel. I keep leaning towards skar or soundqubed s100-4. But now... 90 bucks!!! Idk I might have to try it.
What did you ever end up getting?
@@cdshawn honestly nothing I ended up putting my entire system on hold but actually I did aquire a old school alpine 4 channel.
You doing OK Ryan? Hope so. Positive thoughts for you...
Bro where you been? Been waiting on your videos forever!!!
@@bigblank69 dang so will we expect any videos next week?
Thanks for the work brother. Will be looking forward to november then.
I bought two of these for my dad back in the spring for his truck and they are great for the price. 1 runs his door speakers 4 PRV 6.5s and 4 Soundstreme tweeters and the other runs a pair of 8" Inifinitys subs under his back seat. This little system will shock you for what it is. Sounds great and is pretty damn loud for a system that costs less than $500. If you get the amp set to about where it needs to be, then you should be able to adjust the head unit for the fine adjustments. You shouldn't need to mess with the settings on the bottom of the amp once it's all said and done with. But, the settings being on the bottom indeed sucks ass...
Great job .....
Aubiopipe kicks ass
Could you test the new AMPI-4095? Seems like they remedied the issues you mentioned in the video. Albeit a little more expensive now
Feels like a month now im waiting for a video
@Ryan Blankenship thanks for another good dyno video. Seems this is your first class a/b in quite awhile. Along that subject, did the fan kick on at all while the amp was on the dyno? If so, how loud was it?
Nice amplifier but I think for about $50 more you can get the Pioneer GM-D8604 and it's the only 4-channel amp that I know of on the market that is 1 ohm stable (nice if you have a door full of speakers and want wiring options).
Mine came in today and the top crossover switch was broken and flopping around. The “QC” sticker wasn’t very far away from it. Hoping the second one is GTG
can you do a dyno test on a Boss choas CH4500? I will love to see the result since this one of the best i have ever heard from Boss.
Hey man, haven't seen a video from you in quite some time. I hope all is well.
@Budget Gem or Budget Bust You ever done a review on the Auna Amps
?
i dont like stacked speaker outputs but the settings under the amp would be a pain in the ass
The efficiency on this is as good as the Jensen.. I don't want to get to fancy and have to upgrade the stock alternator and upgraded 0/2 power wire etc...
BIG Shout out DOWN4SOUND/ BIG D WIZ
Haven't seen you post in awhile. Hope all is well. We all miss seeing amp testing.
Coming back soon... I moved to a different state so I had to move all my gear and need to finish re-hooking it up
@@bigblank69 Appreciate the info. Looking forward to seeing you very soon indeed. Good luck with the move. Happy holidays!
wow, surprised me. What is the highest impedance the dyno is capable of, if its possible to run its inputs in series? I think it would be neat to try a few amps in high impedance modes and even maybe give a few headphone amps a run for their money.
Please test them nvx 2 and 4 channel power sport amps.
Thanks
Appreciate you still taking the time do ur series while ur moving an doin this in ur hotel on top of it I'm sure that wasn't the easiest amp dyno u ever done! Lol......you can never count out audiopipe!!
Once again audiopipe does it's numbers...
Good job I love your channel preciate you make me don't waste my money on Trust amp we waiting for db 45 4ch Rockville you promise to do dyno test we waiting /god bless FRM madlinks😎
mad links555 van you bought that rockville db45?
@@rhurtadorh32 Yeah rockvill db 45 db15 boat off them bye both of them 7 months ago im big big fans of Rockford Fosgate
mad links555 van so which one would you prefer that audiopipe or rockville db45?
Just like the other guy made a comment about theres a newer version of this amp model number is 4095 what i like about this is that it comes with a built in fan to keep it cool. But people say that rockville can run up to 8 6x9 speakers with no problem?
Ryan Blankenship in your personal opinion which amp will yo with. The rockville db45 or the audiopipe 4095?
First thanks for testing these amps. Please do more 4 channel and add some 5 channels. Also can you tell me how this amp sounds? I know that's subjective, but giving a baseline opinion on what you think of these 4 channels would help determine who really is a budget gem or who just make rated power but poor sonics.
Eric Perry it sounds great , i had one but for some reason it got stuck in protect mode , also happened to a friend of mine
@@2shaded really. What would you compare it to? Or what other 4 channel amps have you used and on what type of speakers? That would help me understand what you have used in the past. If this is say sonically on par with a Hertz EP4 then I'd buy 2 of them today.
A month has passed and no new vids..is everything OK pal.. I look forward to these vids!!!!
Everything is fine... but the move from Chicago to ST Louis was to overwhelming to get more videos done... I just moved into my new house today so hopefully I can get the test bench back to life soon....
Nice, but I find the fan confusing. If the fan is pulling air in or blowing air out, being at the bottom would be highly restrictive though I did notice the mounts do elevate it. But does it really only have vent holes for that air movement in the bottom plate? That just make for an air exchange short (because the fan would just recycle the air back into the amp) - which would explains why you noticed it getting awfully hot despite the fan. The controls being on the bottom don't bother me a huge amount because once it's setup properly they shouldn't need to be touched again. Just complicates installing it a bit more then other amps - minor annoyance. Not a bad option for that price tag though.
I have the 500 watt mono block ... I think it’s the same type of amp same size but it’s ad class
Isn’t one of the audiopipe amps feet” raised” a little for heat dissipation? If so, which model, ty for the dyno vids:-)
Yes i have two 10 inch orion subwoofers ZTW104S Can you recommend a good amplifier for them?
Quick question ? have you any reviews on Blaupunkt 1500W 4 CH amp??
How could I use 1 gauge wire for the power and ground? And where could I find the right reducers
Nice amp for a 3 channel setup.
Any chance of doing a test on a pioneer PRS-D800? Curious if that amp, which is a SQ amp, does more than rated @ 4 ohms and at bridged.
Hy I'm not that experience with audio part but I bought a suv that had an aftermarket system loved it but the amp went bad would this amp work for 6 audiopipe 500w 8inch speakers
The settings on the bottom was not a good idea. Maybe it keeps the size small but the hassle isn't worth it. Its got power for a small size.
Hey Ryan. I have a question that you may be able to answer. I have an old orion cobalt 430. Idk if it works my buddy got it for a trade a while ago. It doesn't have the looks like the speaker adapter that plugs into the amp itself. Do you know where I could go to find something for this old amp
I had it bridged at 4ohms on 2 6x9s The amp got so hot you couldn’t even touch it after about 10 minutes.. Plus my 8 gauge platinum adapter would not fit in the ground or the power inputs..
Have you thought about Audio Control? Not exactly budget though.
could you please test a AUDIOPIPE APDLI20001D really need to know what they do
What are your thoughts on the Audiopipe APMN-4150D - 4 Channel Amplifier?
Nice 👍🏼
Not too many 4 channels on dynos can you please do crunch px 1000.4 or/ and 1000.2
Hi. What u think about stock battery n alternator. 4awg wire wif 120a fuse. Am i good 2 go or need 2 upgrade? 2 old skol amps. Rockford F n MTX. bout 450rms @4ohm bridge each . Rockford f on 50a n mtx on 60a. Ill wrk 1 for single4ohm 12sub n d other as main amp runnin 2 4ohm each side dwn to 2ohm. N yes both amps produce more power @ 1ohm each ch or 2 ohm bridge
By the way Ryan there is an updated version of this for 108$ on carid. It has the stacked channels like you wanted and it also has the settings on the side of the amp instead of under it. It also has 2 30 amp fuses with 1300 on the front of the amp instead of 1200, more power? I'm not sure about the fan but it would be a good idea being as it is class a/b. I will be replacing my 400 dollar jl xd 400/4 for the 4095 in my 2017 Mazda 3 once it comes in and I have free time to switch it.
Jacob Warren by any chance is it the audiopipe apmi4095 model on the amp your talking about?
Jacob Warren i was thinking on getting the rockville db45 but after looking at this and by checking the newer model theres no debate audiopipe it is
Jacob Warren have you gotten this amp yet? How do you like it ?
@@rhurtadorh32 I got the amp and to me it does sound better than my jl amp. The fan is on the bottom like in the previous model as well. I am running into a problem with setting the gains and high pass filter. The high pass filter is from 50 - 1200 hz and I'm having trouble with too much bass coming to my speakers as well as there being less out put from my speakers. I have the hpf set half way and my 3 inch Polk dbs are doing ok now but on my jl amp I had numbers on the hpf dial so I knew it was set at 120 hz for the 3 inchs and that confuses me because half way might mean 600 hz although it doesn't sound like it. On the jl amp dial Hof half way indicates 100 hz so its most likely working similarly where theres small adjustments over most of the dial and towards 2/3 to the max cut off it finishes up the rest of the frequency band. For instance on my jl amp the hof 2/3 of the way is 200hz, dial all the way up is 500hz.
Jacob Warren if you have a complete system? Like a mono block amp for subs and this amp for highs try installing a xover and or equalizer it helps alot on adjusting your settings.
Ryan, I have a special request. Can you please dyno some of the new Blaupunkt amps? They're promising some big numbers for very little money. I just bought the AMP7502 on Amazon to power my mids and highs and it should arrive in a couple days. It is rated at RMS Power (4 Ohms): 160W x 2 and RMS Power (2 Ohms): 325W x 2. I only paid $49.80 from a third party Amazon seller. Amazon.com Prime is cheaper, but it's backordered.
Do the audiopipe 360.4 I just got it n I love it so far it’s the aqx 4 channel line
Curious about that one myself
Eric Perry hey it’s been great to me so far I had a crossfire 800.4 that use to put a lil static in my interior speakers I put this in no problems at all and is just as loud I’m happy with it so far
Hey bro I'm struggling can you please do a RMS test on a gravity gr-1400.2 2800 watt amp its 2 ohm stable and I can't find the rms
Should check out CT Sounds... other youtubers push them and they have a few $100 or less amps
How about a Cerwin Vega dyno?
I wander about sound quality vs the dual xpr84d. Don't class a/b's typically have better sound quality than class d's? I still like my cheapo dual amp but wish I had known about this one first.
possibly lower noise floor?
Rockville db45 or this audiopipe?? Anyone?
I gotta send you the audiopipe apmi 4150 class d and the MB Quart Discus 4125.
Is that fan pushing air or pulling air out?
I'm just wondering what song you use over these dino scenes....
good for my orion xtrs niceeeeee
hmm... the location to the settings would almost be a deal breaker for me if i had to use the amps crossover setting. The 1.2k range is kinda of odd too. I am one of those ppl that just cant leave good enough alone for to long. Especially my crossover settings... Maybe ive just become to accustom to how convenient my head unit lets me fiddle with them.
yeah, im knit picking it a little. Overall though gotta like how it did on the dyno.
Good job Audiopipe.
The apmi 4095 has the settings on the side. It's the updated version.
Hey have you heard of the AutoTek Mean Machine M2500.1D?
junk
Dude the font for your results is very hard to read
Which dual are u talking about
say i have a SO sound ordnance M-1500 and i burnt it out, can those be fixed i hooked it wrong red on black - black on red fried it right up I never even had the chance to hear it... have u eveer tested that amp.... and also i have a Lanzar MaxPro 2400watts have u ever tested that amp... but with that lanzar it goes into safe mode when we crank it up. the only way to get it out of safe mode is to keep turning the key on and off. any help would be great.
but after those amps i went out and bought the 2500 watt from walmart for $69.00 it was decent, didnt get the bass sound i was looking for outside the SUV but inside it was good.
u are an idiot
