Strapping two amps together to make one BIG amp - 5,000 Watts! B2 Audio Rage 2500.1x2

[@Edward135i]

13:20 love the white PCB, nice attention to detail of a part hardly anyone will ever see.

[@volleyballjerry]

It is a *gorgeous* amp inside and out. When I see white, I usually assume it is a marine amp but not so with B2. Great powder coat finish on the outside and very slick PCB inside. Decades ago, Precision Power's amps were white with some crazy colorful art on them. Class AB old school. I am glad to see B2, Mosconi, D'Amore, D4S take that approach today.

[@rhondabentley6838]

Can't wait to hear how these do on the 8s. Basically same setup as my build. But twin riot 3200s. Need to dyno one of those next Steve.

[@tcw691]

Love it , always have always will Steve!!! Hows the house system going ?

[@freshbutplain1144]

I am so happy we have subtitles!! Many thanks Steve. 🙏 🤟 💪

[@CajunReaper95]

[@markroberts715]

Was gonna get 2 of these but got 2 jp33s,notnsure if i took a loss or gained spectacular power,but im pretty stoked. Awesome vid man ty

I hear nothing but good things about B2 Audio.

[@AJOSUE]

They slap

[@JustEnufCustoms]

Them B2 audio joints doing some nice numbers. Super dope bro and great explanation on strapping amps together. Much respects Steve be easy my guy ✌

[@volleyballjerry]

Agree with the "almost never" on strapping amps. The only scenario I could imagine is if you had *one* mega huge high power handling sub that had a single voicecoil. But every sub I have seen in the last 20 years larger than 8" - they all have dual voice coil. So just connect one amp per coil and your done. But as I am watching this, I agree - it is fun just to show how it can be done.

[@jayholm9623]

SMD providing facts.

[@ceoelektronika8604]

That is an odd setup. Even though the terminal on the slave is "positive" it is actually putting out a negative signal relative to the positive terminal of the master amplifier. Not that amplifiers CARE, they are just putting out alternating current waveforms as instructed. The output from the master to slave RCA must invert the polarity relative to the input on the master. What was impressive was 3900 watts into 4 ohm.

[@headhoncho4890]

Just got my b2 4500.1 I can't wait to hook it up

Sweet Steve thanks for getting me up there!!

[@cfmechanic]

Amazing results. I remember first time I told a service writer about the magic smoke coming out he didn't think it was a real term. Kinda makes me wish I bought this vs my fosgate 2500

[@Salgadovisuals]

Awesome video as always man, very helpful. I plan on buying 2 DD 2500 amps and strapping them together ! I know now to buy 4 subs @4ohm each and wire them down to 2ohms so each amp can see 1 ohm

[@cjolly4062]

Just picked up one for $500 brand new they’re on sale right now I can’t wait to see what it does

[@600zxr]

How did it work for you, any issues? I just ordered one.

[@rmblwgn]

A Plexi backplate and blue LEDs would look so cool. Damn those white pcbs are sexy

[@minenachos]

That's some cute power wire. I'm impressed with your power supply. 5kw and .3v loss.

Is it better to have two amps strapped to get the power u need or just one big amp

[@MrDopey32]

Hell yeah!

Pretty much.

[@LuisRodriguez-oj5nm]

Hey brother really appreciate the video just a quick question.. how would I go about strapping two Soundstream TXP1.6000D together.. they're 1 channels amps.. is exactly the same as you did in this video?

[@thepickle7757]

Great video! I wanted to see B2 strap set on dyno. Love em.. When they are strapped does 1 amp take more of a beating than the other?

[@meade916]

no

Im new to this, can you just use each amp to one sub so 2 subs 2 amps?

[@mason2x862]

Yes

[@INFRNL1]

Watching this video makes me want to get a pr of these but I think I might just go with the 4500.1. I'll have to weigh the options I can't wait to see this upgrade. I've been checking every day to see if a new video is posted on the upgrade to 4 8s. Would love to see Steve run the new Rampage 8's when they become available....or the Gately Relentless Going to be an awesome upgrade, might have to add another set of Mani's up front to keep up

[@troyntu]

So what’s your overall thoughts on how the B2 2500.1 performs? I’m considering getting one but haven’t seen much content on them. Are there any 2500watt amps you’d recommend before this one?

For a second there it felt like it was just two amps but your gonna strap them together to make one super amp...fuckin Deadpool lol great vid

[@generalderoma]

what are the diferences between american amps and brazilian amps? I ask that because american amps are so big and heavy and brazilian amps with the same power are half the size and weight.

Digital amplification is my guess

@@meade916 yes I think that's what I meant. Lol confused myself.

[@mikehonda7934]

And in electronic head terms, strapping is taking 2 half bridge amps, and making one full bridge amp…. Not sure if someone said this already or not.

[@maryjaneevadiamond6359]

That's insane, so much power. 😵 was the buzzing your power supply loading down?

[@96kylar]

Could be the dyno and the amps going into clipping. Many class D boards will "buzz" going into clipping. Ive noticed the dyno does it at times also.

[@bassheadpolska9493]

i fuc ked amp like that (gzha mini one) wired in 0.3 i think or 0.5 and added to much gain

[@isaacmakinano5179]

Doesn't necessarily mess it up the amps instantly but it definitely does, it might work 4 a little bit but it will definitely fux it up

[@volleyballjerry]

If you look at Steve's and Big D's testing, some of their tests (depending on the amplifier) will go down to 0.5 ohm on the AD-1 Amp Dyno even if the manufacturer does not recommend it. All of the quality amps *if* needed will go into protection mode no problem. There was an older amp from Taramps (Brazil) that blew up on the bench and actually caught fire --- cannot remember if that was Big D or Budget Gem that did that test but it was ugly. That was the only time I have seen it.

I set my amp with the DD1 correctly, but when I play those bass boosted songs it clips

[@Nick-bg7vl]

most bass boosted songs don’t have a clean signal going out, so it’s doesn’t matter if the gains were set correctly. it will still just send a bad signal to the speakers and amp.
