Thought SS Rubicon 2500d

[bgowdy 5,000+ posts]

Like the title says. Looking for thoughts on the Ruby 2500. I have read they are pretty solid performers other then they can run a bit hot. I would be running it at .5 ohm nominal, and i know im going to have some rise in there, and i have a pretty good electrical system to back it up. Subs will be 2 Obsidian Audio 18v2's d2's.

Electrical as followed:

220a Dc Power Alt(tested to do right at 250a)

Big 3 in 2ga OFC

4 Runs of 0ga front to back battery bank(2 Positive & 2 Negative)

2 AGM Batterys in the back (180 Total AH)

1 Duralast Gold(Wet Cell) for stock battery under hood(will be changed)

Thoughts?????

Thanks,

yea im really wanting to just run 1 amp because its simpler/easier to deal with, and i figure the Ruby would be about the same amount of power that i would get from 2 apsm 2ks. I usually only run single sub setups because the es of only having to replace/ recone 1 subs lol.

Two different versions, single fan is the original design (some say better) and the dual fan is the latest/current version.

i see. i really like the lloks of these amps, and they from what ive ready they make a good amount of power, and im going to be running 2 600 rms subs(the OA's) so it should be enough power for them
