Ruthless Audio 2300.1 2,300 Watt Monoblock Amplifier

Product Overview

The Ruthless Audio 2300.1 is a Class-D monoblock amplifier for powering a high-output subwoofer system. It delivers 2,300W RMS at 1Ω and supports loads down to 0.5Ω, with a bass knob included for adjusting bass level from the driver’s seat.

Its 0–180° phase control helps you adjust subwoofer integration, while the 10Hz–250Hz frequency response covers a broad bass range.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-power output: Rated up to 2,300W RMS at 1Ω at 14.4V for demanding subwoofer systems.
• 0.5Ω stability: Supports a 0.5Ω final load when your subwoofers and electrical system are configured for it.
• Strappable design: Two units can be strapped together at 1Ω for a combined system.
• Included bass knob: Adjust bass level from the driver’s seat without reaching for the amplifier.
• Locking RCA inputs: Tiffany-style locking connectors help secure the signal connection.
• 1/0 AWG power input: Full-size terminals accommodate the specified power-input gauge.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

The 2300.1 offers three stated RMS power ratings at 14.4V, so you can compare its output at 1Ω, 2Ω, or 4Ω with your planned system load. Its 0.5Ω stability and strappable design provide additional configuration options for suitable subwoofer systems.

Input sensitivity ranges from 0.2V to 6V, and THD is listed as < 0.01% at 4Ω. Check that the amplifier’s load, power requirements, and available installation space suit your build.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

The amplifier measures 17" long, 9-1/16" wide, and 2.75" tall. Allow for the unit and its connections when planning the mounting location.

The product details call for 1/0-gauge power and ground wiring with a 200-amp inline fuse. They identify a 1/0 AWG Big 3 upgrade as the minimum recommendation and advise keeping power and ground runs short to reduce resistance and voltage drop. A high-output alternator and secondary battery are recommended for operation near full output over extended periods; the FAQ specifies a 200A+ alternator and AGM or lithium secondary battery.

Subwoofer wiring must produce an impedance supported by your system. The product details describe dual 2-ohm voice coils wired in parallel for a 1Ω load and recommend checking subwoofer power ratings before 0.5Ω operation. Set the subsonic filter to protect subwoofers from over-excursion in ported enclosures.
