Audiopipe APCL-1500.1D on AD-1 Full Testing Results

We recently posted the AD-1 testing of the Audiopipe APCL-1500.1D monoblock amplifer at .5 ohms. Which delivered some ground breaking results. To view that post click here.

And, just as we promised in that post. That when the full testing of the Audiopipe APCL-1500.1D was posted by Big D Wiz who did the tested on the AD-1 was released. We would update the post.

Well, here it is.. the full review, and results of the Audiopipe APCL-1500.1D monoblock amplifer. As previously stated this video is property of Big D Wiz of Old School Stereo.com. Disclaimer: we are not affiliated with OldSchoolStereo.com We are just sharing the results of a budget amplifier that deserves its respect. Video is below of the full review. Test is ran at 4 ohms, 2 ohms, and 1 ohm. With a special testing of the amplifier ran at .5 ohms.

Impressed yet? If you didn't watch the full review, and only want the numbers that the Audiopipe APCL-1500.1D produced. Here they are:

• Certified run at 4 ohms: 526 Watts RMS, Uncertified run at 4 ohms: 548 Watts RMS, Dynamic run at 4 ohms: 573 Watts RMS.

• Certified run at 2 ohms: 891 Watts RMS, Uncertified run at 2 ohms: 984 Watts RMS, Dynamic run at 2 ohms: 1085 Watts RMS.

• Certified run at 1 ohms: 1314 Watts RMS, Uncertified run at 1 ohms: 1458 Watts RMS, Dynamic run at 1 ohms: 2024 Watts RMS.

• Special Dynamic run at .5 ohms: 2753/2810 Watts RMS.

Again, like said in the previous post the Audiopipe APCL-1500.1D is a power house monoblock amplifier with a nice price. It does its close to rated wattage, at 4 ohms, and over at 2, and 1 ohms. Even though its not rated at .5 ohms it does almost double it rated wattage. Which is great for amplifier that doesn't break the bank.

Don't know how the test was ran? Let us explain.. in a certified run with the AD-1 a sine wave is played at 40Hz until  the point of 1% distortion, and the test is stopped. The AD-1 records the wattage output up til the point where it is stopped. Uncertified run is done the same as the certified run, but is ran up til clipping of the signal. Again the AD-1 records the wattage output of the amplifer until the test is stopped. Dynamic run is a little different from Certified, and Uncertifed. The Dynamic run is made to recreate the idea of the amplifier is playing music. A pulsating sine wave of 40Hz is played, and the AD-1 records the wattage output.

What test matters? For most the Dynamic test matter most since it is the most accurate in the situation of the amplifiers usage for most people.
