BOSS Audio Systems AR1500M Monoblock Car Amplifier - 1500 High Output, High/Low Level Inputs, Low Pass Crossover, Hook Up to Subwoofer for Bass

This is a Mono amp, meaning you can only plug One Subwoofer into it. For $50, this AMP works flawlessly. It has never turned off from being too hot and I am an Uber EATS driver, so my car is on ALL day. The best part about this AMP, is that is has a Line Out Converter / High Output adapter installed inside it and it comes with wires. My LOC didn't arrive when the AMP did so I was pretty mad, then realized that it had that adapter and was immediately excited again. VERY easy to hook up and use. I recommend this for anybody New to bass systems and looking to install a simple 12". I've got a 1000w 12" Kenwood Subwoofer installed to it. Beats HARD. You won't be dissapointed. HERE'S SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING YOUR SUB TO STOCK HEAD UNT YOURSELF. - Subwoofer should be in enclosed box. - Amplifier is best screwed to the subwoofer box - Take the Power wire, cut it as needed, and wire it to the BATTERY input on the AMP, then run it to your car battry Positive Terminal. ( I wrapped the wire around it and stuck the Cars wire harNess over it and tightened it ) - Ground wire goes to the GRND input on the AMP then goes to either a bolt in your trunk ( which shouldn't be painted ) or If you have a fuse box in the trunk with a ground wire, you can use that bolt as well. - Blue power wire. That goes to the REM / Remote input on your AMP and runs either to the power wire in your head unit, or a fuse that turns off when car is off. ( I used my ignition fuse. I Wrapped a wire around it barely, so I could get it back into the fuse slot ) Now that your AMP will have power when the car is turned on or in the accessory mode, we can now wire the speakers. Easiest part, just nobody ever describes it good. -Your subwoofer has two inputs on the box and the subwoofer should be wired inside the box as well. POSITIVE TO POSITIVE, NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE. - Your amp has a positive and negative input. Use the speaker wire you have and wire it to the subwoofer box, from the AMP. Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative. Positive is often times a silver wire, as Negative will be Copper. OFTEN, not for all speaker wire. NOW, the LOC if your bought one, or I'f your using an AMP like this, which came with an adapter installed in the AMP already. - The LOC / Adapter wires both are the same. They have 5 wires and some LOCs only have 4 wires. With 5 wires, there is a ground wire which I used a piece of Negative speaker wire to make it longer, then ran that to where I had the AMPs ground wire. - Locate your rear speakers and figure out which is the Positive connector and which is the Negative. The Wires on the LOC or Adapter wires will be like this if your looking at it POS. NEG. GROUND. NEG. POS. OR if you only have 4 wires without the ground, ignore the ground. When the adapter wires are plugged to the AMP, you'll see which side is Left and Right. So from there, simply tap those wires into the Left and Right rear speaker. You can take the plug off the speaker wrap it around snug, and slide the plug back on. That's what I did. Just make sure POSITIVE is POSITIVE and NEGATIVE is NEGATIVE. The Wires on the LOC are very short and so are the wires on the Adapter wires foe the AMP if you don't have the LOC. If you are using an LOC, once those wires are tapped to your rear speakers, plug in the RCA and match the colors up correctly. Make sure whatever wires you cut, are properly wrapped In electrical tape or if the shrink wrap, whatever you use. Now, turn your Car on and your AMP is ready to go, and your Bass system should now be bumping. Adjust the GAIN and volume on yur amp according to your taste. If your AMP does NOT come on, it's because your blue power wire isn't installed correctly. Best way to test your AMP is find a normal fuse to something that's always on, like a cig ligter. Use different fuses until you get it to turn on then property identify your ignition fuse that way the AMP cuts off when yu turn the key off. Your welcome.

This is a solid amp as long as you don't expect 1500 watts. It's a more realistic 600W max with an RMS of around 200. The fuse is 30 amp, which at 14 volts equates to 420 watts. It's at most 60% efficient, so that's 252W output. And since that's probably still too high, let's call it 200 watts RMS. It sounds good and doesn't distort unless you really crank it up. Even at 200W it shakes my mirrors and rattles the trim pieces. Punches hard and sounds good with an Infinity 1262 wired at 2 ohms in a Scosche truck box. Pros: Sounds good Small, and lightweight Has high level inputs Cons: It gets hot, but I haven't had it shut down on me yet Not anywhere near claimed output So overall, I'm impressed with this amp, at least for the price. It's a solid amp for a good price. If you're looking to add some low-end to your system, this is a good way to do it.

This item has been really great for me, I can't believe the price. Looking around I thought I'd never afford a decent mono amp however this one proved me wrong. It has a fair amount of functions such as level control, nothing over the top so hasn't been difficult to use. I have had no problems with it and just love connecting it to my sub. It has a very high RMS of 700, so I can run pretty much any subwoofer from it even though my sub runs at a lower RMS I just make sure the amp doesn't blow it by not testing it's level. This amp also has a nice look to it and can handle a bit of a throw around in the boot of the car. The mounting design is also fine. Great amp, I'd recommend it to anyone on a budget or not.

I had bought this Boss AR1500M amp to power one Infinity 1260 single coil sub (4ohm-300w RMS) thats in a sealed 1.25cf box as recomended by Infinity sub specs, its all in a Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd with a nice factory Infinity system, and now has more than what it was missing on the low end from the factory, yes enough bass now to tick off the neighbors more than a few doors down, BUT even though I am very happy with my amp just like when I bought it I didnt really think Id get 700w RMS, even if Id got a 1 ohm sub not a 4ohm, but its only got one 30amp fuse built in it so? But as Id hoped its enough it powers my one 12" sub very well with the level at about 2/5 way up and I have the remote bass knob hardly even up about 15% and it sounds really good and balanced with the factory system with a lot of bass knob to go when needed. I would have gave it 5 stars if they had rated it has a 300w RMS and maybe could beleave that but not 700w, but for its price and how it works on my setup I really could not be happier. PS I used a 1/2 farad Cap too.. and Jeeps Infinity factory has 2 dash 2.75" mid/tweets - 2 front door bass 6x9" - 2 6&1/2" full range in back doors with a six channel Infinity amp about 25-30 RMS each. 9/21/12 SIX MONTH UPDATE: Amp still at about 30% gain hooked up on high speaker level inputs and all is great, I have never notice my amp getting hot though it is mounted to the side of my jeeps some what open cargo bay, checked after an hour of mid-to-loud volume bumping and was just slightly warm, well about as warm as it started here with our Florida summers. Not too long ago I also added a pair of Infinity 1" tweeters, one in each of the top back corners of the R/L cargo windows running on a older 2 x 25watt RMS amp I had, and now am so completly happy with my system, Ive got nice crisp highs, and lots of deep low's your basic factory systems just can't even put out, and everyone thats heard my still factory looking system lately are just like WOW and complement on how it has such full and rich balanced sound, and a few people now after seeing my simple add-ons want me to help them improve there factory systems!

I was trying to give my car an incredible audio system for under 300 bucks and needed to get a deck, amp, door speakers, and sub. This amp was perfect for my price range and it really does deliver some serious power. I only turn the level up to about 1/4 and this will make my 2 jl audio 10" subs shake my entire car. It also is nice because I don't really have any problems with overheating and I actually bolted the amp to the sub box itself in an attempt to keep everything organized. The design is very light and feels really solid, like if I were to drop the thing or even throw it, it wouldn't take much damage if any (I still wouldn't do that just saying). I recommend it to anyone trying to pimp out their car on a budget.

Well, the amp does works. It does feel somewhat cheaply made and weight maybe around 3 to 4 lb. The housing is hard plastic, not aluminum. The amp is pretty small compared to the picture Amazon has, which is a good thing. Its about the size of average school textbook. Overall, the sound is mediocre compared to my $300 Hifonic Amp (Class D) which recently went into protected mode. It has more than enough power to rattle my 10" Kicker L7 subwoofer. I'm not into big boomy bass anymore and just want something decent and this fit the bill perfectly. I don't know about the reliability rate yet, as I just own it for a few days now. I will update again IF anything does happen, but for now it does the job perfectly. UPDATE REVIEW NOVEMBER 30, 2013 SO THE AMP HAS FAILED ON ME IN 8 MONTHS. DOES NOT POWER ON AT ALL. I SWITCH THE WIRE, CHECK THE GROUND, CHECK REMOTE, CHECK POWER WIRE, CHECK SPEAKER. ITS DONE. IM JUST A CASUAL LISTENER AND MY RADIO IS ONLY ON FOR 3 TO 4 TIME OUT OF 7 DAYS DRIVING TO WORK AND SCHOOL. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. LIFE EXPERIENCE.

I have this amp powering 2 10in boss flat woofers rated at 350rms each. They are wired in series at 2 ohms so they want to run at 700 rms. I don't think there is any way that this amp puts out 700 rms. It has a tendency to clip and distort at even at the lowest of gains. It seems like the subs are asking for more power although my rms ratings are perfectly matched. That being said, I don't think the amp is rated correctly. This system does sound nice but it is definitely not as clean and crisp as a better known brand name would be. I suppose you get what you pay for. Although I do not advocate the use of bass boost, this amp only has a flip switch so it is either on or off. Nicer amps have adjustable bass boost which is sometimes fun to play with. I wish the amp had more options for adjustment but it is a cheap and basic setup. It does seem to stay cool but people who have overheating problems usually have wiring and setting problems due to the fact that they are just trying to max everything out. Crutchfield will tell you everything you need to know about installation and settings. The sub volume adjustor (little black box with knob) does work and is a nice feature, especially if you have young children and need a convenient way to turn the subs down. Would I buy it again? Maybe. Is it really putting out 700 rms? No. This amp would probably work better with subs rated at about 200 rms each. Chances are if you are looking at this, you are on a budget. I just threw this system in a car to help it sell faster and boy did it do the trick. Pair this amp with two cheap subs and you can build a decent little system for under $150. Just don’t buy this and expect JL quality. Good way to get into the world of DIY car audio.

This is a fantastic amplifier. I have had it for just about 2 years now and it is still running great! I have it connected up to a Boss Audio CX122 Chaos Exxtreme 12-inch 1400w sub and it still sounds amazing. I was hesitant at first to buy from Boss because it was a lesser known brand but I was NOT disappointed. This has been a great system for me and I have never had any problems with distortion or overheating. I love the look and feel of the enclosure too because it is brushed metal and just looks really cool :) The only issue that I have with it is that the bass adjustment knob that it comes with does not work but really this is not important to me. This is a great amp for anyone who wants to add some bass to their system.

Very good

パワーもそこそこあり、ボディーもアルミ？なのでしっかりしていて、個人的に満足してます！

Funciona como esperaba y él precio esta accessible. Para lo que quería. Esta más que suficiente a buen precio y tamaño

GREAT PERFORMANCE

I finally installed this unit on the weekend after having it sit in the box for the better part of a year. I am happy so far with its performance, though I have to tune it properly. This is installed in my 2014 Ram 1500 with the factory Alpine "upgrade" 10 speaker audio system. The Alpine system is "ok" but not great. The sounds is pretty good, but the small factory amps overpower the matched speakers at higher volume, including the DVC 8" sub. I swapped out the factory sub in the plastic box for a fitted box and installed an older Pioneer Premier 10" shallow mount sub (its so goooood). This amp is connected to the factory system with a LC2i Line Out Converter using the rear full range speakers to tap into. This combination works very well and is simple to set up. The amp has a decent crossover for a low cost amp, and I must say I got more than I expected for the price. No this is not a ground pounder that will blow your ear drums out, but it is a decent tuneable small form factor (ok, medium sized form factor) mono amp for a good price. The fit and finish is excellent actually, better than expected. Packaging and instructions were great. I am pleased already with the amp and its capabilities are what I expected for the price (and then some). The best part, the remote gain dial is essential in my setup and it seems to work quite well. I still need to tune the LC2i LOC, and then I am certain it will be even better.
