Title: Compact amp that gets the job done well
Review: Use this in random with a Kicker line level adapter to add the factory sub to my car. The woofer isn’t rated for much more than the rating for a single channel on this amp, so i get ample power out of it for my use case. The low pass filter also works exceptionally well. It’s a bit larger than a bar of soap in size so it was very easy to install it in the same area the factory amp would have been located. It sounds good, runs cool, and does exactly what i want it to for $30.

Title: Prepare for the worst
Review: Tiny, whimpy little amplifier. At 0 gain, it’s capable of proving enough power to get approximately 1:1 volume from unpowered headunit output to weak headphones. Takes full gain for more stubborn headphones like my shooting muffs. With a little creativity, this amp could find some other uses, but it seems perfect for adding headphones to the car.Well, sort of. Audio quality thus far is a bit crummy when the car is actually running, so I may need to tinker with the grounding or add filtering. Compared to BOSS’s other products, this one seems lacking the included stuff department. Would have liked RCA output capability in the box instead of having to buy it myself. (Screw terminal RCAs are awesome, btw) Mounting gear could be a little more diverse. I don’t want lag screws sticking out of my plastic. Thank goodness for mighty putty.*edit*Nevermind. This amp has the longevity of a gnat. I thought my remote wire or ground was having an issue so I proceeded to buy a filter. Finally got the filter and after some tinkering that included the extreme of tapping remote to +12V, this thing is dead. That means it was dead in like two or three days.

Title: Works great for powering a single 4×10!
Review: I hooked the amp up to a single BOSS 120 Watt 4 x 10″ mounted in the blank center speaker hole in my 85′ Grand Prix. I used the low level front channel from my after market radio to run into the amp. I’m happy with the mix the amp makes from the L/R channels and it puts out plenty of quality sound in the full frequency range. I have the sensitivity turned way down and I feel that there is more potential than my speaker can match right now. The amp size is perfect for squeezing in behind the dash for a factory look. It will get a little warm so give it some room to breathe. I couldn’t be happier with the sound for the ultra low cost of the install.

Title: So far so good.
Review: I had a factory sub for a 2011 Honda CRV and the OEM amp is very small. This is the only amp I could find that would fit in the available slot on the sub. This with a slight mod worked well. First off after trying 2 of these amps the high inputs do not work at all, they should be deleted from this amp since they are useless. The RCA’s do work well though. Just be aware you will need a Input converter if using a factory deck. The PAC input converter works very well. Another thing about this amp when the power goes on or off there is a thump sound from the sub. Its not too bad but it is noticable and it was supposed to have a soft on and off so another unexpected issue. I also noticed if you do not use the remote on/off orange cable the amp senses the inputs and turn the amp on and off. I wish the timeout for this was longer, the delay is only 1 second or something so the amp can go on/off alot if a song has no bass for a few seconds which is annoying. If the delay was 5 seconds it would be much better for some songs and between songs. Most the time it is fine though. If you use the remote wire it stays on with the car even if the radio is off, which is not too bad but wastes power and heats the amp all the time. I am still deciding which way to use it. I wish the auto on/off was a little better but works well enough. Nice amp so far even at 2 ohms, will see how long it lasts. It was getting pretty hot but has not overheated yet on the first day.Update: So the amp stopped working today. It has been installed for 45 days and was working ok until today. The “soft” power on and off always popped on power cycle since day one, so not very soft. The amp would sometimes turn off mid song, not sure why and then come back on again. Today it was just dead, no sound and cold but the power led was lit. All connections are good, it just doesn’t want to work anymore. Nice. The return policy is garbage. It will cost me the same to buy a new amp vs getting Boss to repair mine. Amp is pretty much disposible. Beware.Update: So the problem was only the fuse. I added a fuse holder so I could swap them easier in the future. We are back in business. I have updated my rating.

Review: I purchased this unit because I trusted the BOSS brand and I’ve had good luck with there other products however this amp is nearly unusable, when turned above about 25 percent volume it starts creating a popping sound through the speakers too loud to ignore, when under 25 percent it seems to be fairly stable though not very good sound quality. Looking through the other comments, the popping sound seems to be a common issue.
