Zero 12Â
The Zero amplifiers by B2 Audio have a long-standing reputation for top-quality performance since their introduction in the late 2000s. These amplifiers have continued to set new standards in car audio for over 15 years and were available in Reference models and competition edge mono-blocks. The all-new Zero 12 Elite model is an exceptional combination of unique features and qualities found in B2 audio's previous M and Zero amplifiers. This model is designed primarily for car audio enthusiasts who expect the very best in terms of performance and features. The Zero 12 is distinguished by a Norse mythology icon, The Valknut, which is traditionally used only for the top-of-the-line models.Â
Logical Quads
The power and ground connection arrangement on the Zero 12 is fused and arranged logically, which makes it much easier to avoid confusion. In fact, it is a welcomed feature that helps save time and reduce costly mistakes. You don't have to worry about typical confusion that can be found in other amplifier setups. This design includes quad power terminals, also known as "logical quads," which are designed with sense in mind, keeping your wiring job neat and organized. This means that you don't have to worry about messy wires and cables causing unnecessary complications. With this setup, you will always have a clean and organized wiring arrangement that is easy to work with and maintain.
Half-Bridge in a chain
Can you connect multiple half bridge amplifiers together? Yes, you can connect them in a "chain" mode, and the signal will come from the master amplifier. This is useful if you want to match the gain of the amplifiers or split the signal. The daisy gain feature allows you to fine tune the amplifiers to ensure they have the same voltage and output level.
The Zero's amplifiers have a remote in and remote out feature, so you don't need to split your switched 12v remote into multiple wires. The amplifiers come with dual 4-gauge terminals, so you can connect them to your subwoofers without worrying about the wire size. Additionally, the bass remote provides you with information such as voltage, temperature, and clipping from your driver's seat.
Partially Regulated Power
A technology that reduces power loss due to impedance rise in half-bridge designs. This technology is able to deliver more power to higher ohms compared to other unregulated half-bridge technologies. It operates with a dynamic power measurement below 1% THD in order to maximize performance. Additionally, it has slightly minimized regulation above 1% THD to unleash the full potential of the system. The PRP feature is a valuable addition to any half-bridge system, providing unparalleled power and performance.

Beyond The Force
Summed up, the features and pure power that the Zero 12 provides are amongst the best on the market. It is enough to make any system impressively loud at any warranted impedance. However, be aware of the amperage and voltage required to unleash the full potential of the Zero 12; the 1200 A fuse rating is there for a reason.
If you want to monitor your voltage, the supplied bass controller keeps you updated with voltage, thermal status, and clipped signals. Additionally, the Quad fan setup allows for the option to run them all the time, turn them off, or run them in automatic mode, giving you unmatched flexibility.
