Description
SoundQubed Q1-6000v2 — 6,000W Mono Amplifier | Q-Series | 18V Capable
The SoundQubed Q1-6000v2 is a competition-ready, high-output monoblock amplifier built for enthusiasts who demand dominating bass without compromise. Rated at 6,000W RMS at 1 ohm (14.4V) and capable of handling up to 16V for even more output, the Q1-6000v2 is engineered for high-output daily drivers, dedicated SPL builds, and any system where serious low-end is the mission. The v2 improves on its predecessor with a reduced form factor, 20% more power than the Q1-4500.1, and an integrated cooling fan so you can demo all day and stay cool.
The Q1-6000v2 features a Korean Half-Bridge board with robust, workhorse-grade components built to take abuse and keep performing. It includes 2 x 1/0GA power and ground inputs, a variable low-pass filter, and input voltage sensitivity of 0.2V–8V for compatibility with virtually any head unit or DSP. Strappable (master/slave) connectivity lets you link two Q1-6000v2 units for a combined 12,000W system at 2 ohm. With a signal-to-noise ratio of >100 dB and a compact 19.25" x 9.5" x 2.675" chassis, this amplifier delivers competition-grade performance in a surprisingly manageable footprint.
Important: The Q1-6000v2 requires a properly upgraded electrical system. At minimum: 250+ amp high-output alternator, upgraded under-hood battery, 500Ah AGM or 80Ah lithium reserve, Big Three wiring upgrade, and multiple 0-gauge runs. Consult a SoundQubed dealer or professional installer before purchasing.
Why Choose the SoundQubed Q1-6000v2?
- 6,000W RMS @ 1 Ohm (14.4V) — Competition-grade output in a compact chassis, built for serious SPL and high-output daily builds.
- 20% More Power Than Q1-4500.1 — The v2 upgrade delivers significantly more output in a smaller, more refined package.
- 16V Capable — Designed to take advantage of high-voltage electrical systems for peak competition output.
- 2 x 1/0GA Power & Ground Inputs — Handles the current demands of a 6,000W amplifier with proper dual-run wiring configurations.
- Strappable (Master/Slave) — Link two Q1-6000v2 units for a combined 12,000W system at 2 ohm when maximum output is the goal.
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio >100 dB — Exceptionally clean signal for a high-power amplifier — loud and clean, not just loud.
- Integrated Cooling Fan — Demo all day without thermal shutdown — the fan keeps the amp cool under sustained high-power use.
- Korean Half-Bridge Board — The same quality board found across the Q-Series lineup, built for reliability and sustained high-power performance.
Amplifier & Electrical Recommendations
Subwoofer Pairing: The Q1-6000v2 is designed to drive high-power subwoofers in the 1,500–6,000W RMS range. It pairs exceptionally well with SoundQubed’s HDX and HDS series subwoofers wired to a 1Ω final load. Use the variable low-pass filter to set your crossover point between 50–80 Hz for most ported SPL builds. For even more output, strap two Q1-6000v2 units for 12,000W at 2 ohm.
Electrical Requirements — Non-Negotiable: At minimum: 250+ amp high-output alternator, upgraded under-hood battery, 500Ah AGM or 80Ah lithium reserve, Big Three wiring upgrade, and multiple 0-gauge power and ground runs. Do not rely on the factory gauge — use a dash-mounted voltmeter. Consult a SoundQubed dealer or professional installer before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What subwoofers should I run with the Q1-6000v2?
A: Pair it with high-power subwoofers rated at 1,500W RMS or more — SoundQubed’s HDX3.2, HDX4.2, or HDS3.3 series are ideal matches. Wire multiple subs to achieve a 1Ω final load at the amplifier for maximum power delivery.
Q: Can I run two Q1-6000v2 amplifiers together?
A: Yes — the Q1-6000v2 is strappable, allowing you to link two units for a combined 12,000W system at 2 ohm. This requires a fully upgraded electrical system capable of supporting both amplifiers simultaneously.
Q: What electrical upgrades do I need?
A: At minimum: a 250+ amp high-output alternator, upgraded under-hood battery, 500Ah AGM or 80Ah lithium reserve, Big Three wiring upgrade, and multiple 0-gauge power and ground runs. Do not attempt to run this amplifier on a stock electrical system.
Q: How is the v2 different from the original Q1-6000?
A: The v2 features a reduced form factor, 20% more power compared to the Q1-4500.1 it replaced, and an integrated cooling fan for sustained high-power use. It also handles up to 16V for additional output in high-voltage electrical systems.
