WillistonAudioLabs Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Soundstream Rubicon amplifiers have been around since the 1990's and when I came across this 2015 "Limited Edition" version of the RUB2500.1D, I just knew it would make for an interesting video. This amp is rated to deliver 2500 watts at 1 ohm and the current price is under $250, so this would equate to 10 cents a watt....and that's amazing power for the money....if it's rated correctly?? Only one way to find out! The RUB2500.1D is rated to deliver: 1000 watts at 4 ohms 1700 watts at 2 ohms 2500 watts at 1 ohm *note: no specifics as to how the ratings were obtained (at 1%, at clipping, dynamic or "Max") Full disclosure: Amplifier was purchased by me for the purpose of this test. All of the opinions in this video are my own and the content wasn't reviewed by anyone prior to posting.

WillistonAudioLabs Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 It's too bad the ratings are not specific. In some ways you could say it did ok....

Calrider76 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yeah, honestly it seems by the test it makes dirty power. Not exactly what I would want for SQ or longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
