BOSS Audio Systems R1100MK 1100 Watt Monoblock Car Amplifier & Wiring Kit

For the price this is the best deal I've seen. 66 bucks shipped for the amp and wires. I installed it in about 2 hours, hardest part was pulling up the panels and getting the wires through. The rest of the wiring was painless, they give u everything you need. I would highly recommend the add a circuit for tapping in to the fuse block. No wire splicing, super easy to take out later and worked well for me. About the amps performance: I hooked it up to a single 10 inch kicker cvr (Silver, older model) recommended for 400 max rms. I'm running this amp at 4 ohms, not 2. What I've found is that I have the setup that is recommended for longevity and health of the sub system. The amp is over powered for the sub, so I have to turn the amp down some, reducing the work load of the amp, and it's in 4 ohm so that dramatically reduces the workload from the start. The subwoofer would become distorted at high levels so I turned down the output and now I've found the sweet spot where it hits really hard but also clean tones. I haven't installed the remote control yet, don't think I'd really use it. It does work but I think I'd just rather have the bass up all the time, maybe later I'll get tired of it and want the quick adjustment feature. I've played really loud music for almost an hour with a lot of bass and gone to the trunk to check how hot it's getting and it's barely warm. Very impressed with the setup. I think getting a quality subwoofer, something that can handle all the watts you're throwing at it well is more important than the amp being super accurate and high quality. Time will tell how this amp holds up but so far it's been a great fit for 1 10 inch at 4 ohms. And 2 ohms I'd be willing to bet it would push 2 subwoofers well. The size of the amp made it easy to screw to the back of the 10 inch subwoofer box. It's made for a pretty clean install. Then I made an L bracket and screwed in to the floor of the trunk and the box, it doesn't move at all when driving. Keeping the trunk space usable was very important to me, so a little 10 is very noticeable, shakes mirrors, u hear it outside the car some, and is a great addition to my 2012 civic which has a loud factory setup, yet it doesn't take up too much room in the trunk so it's the best of both worlds in my eyes. Oh one note, the amp barely bumps at all with the bass boost option turned off. But once I turn it on it claims an 18db boost and it really comes alive. I tapped in to the rear speakers high outputs for my speaker input. Made it easy to run less wires(no rcas) and I didn't have to pull the dash apart to get to the back of the head unit. The amp gets a crystal clear signal and handles the high output levels very well.

I bought this to power a 800w Rockford fosgate p2 punch and it works great. It slams. I recommend this to anyone that is hooking a stereo up for the first time. RCA jacks are junk though, I recommend buying a nicer set.

I purchased this amp with a gift card to power 2 Kicker CompR 10" 2 Ohm dual voice coil woofers in a sealed box running at a total of 2 Ohms. I listen to alot of R&B, techno, and deep heavy bass music in a 2017 Mazda 3. I initially purchased this amp as a very cheap (basically free from a christmas giftcard) beginner amp with the intention to purchase a new amp once this one failed..... WELL, 2 years later and it is still going strong as ever!! It works and provides what it is supposed to do, MORE BASS! ****Nit picks about the amp**** -It is no where near 1100 watts! Alot of reviews show this amp really caps at 200 watts. So, at most 100 Watts per 10" CompR woofer in my set up. It has been great and plenty loud enough for just some extra bass support. -I found I kept driving the gain a little higher trying to get more output but this amp just could not dish it out with out distorting. I only say that to be mindful that that this amp will not be rattling the neighbors windows or really even bothering the other cars next to you. I will be audible outside the vehicle but nothing really aggressively obnoxious. -It is a class A/B amplifier so it does draw more power when turned full set volume , but only enough to make my headlights dip a small amount very quickly. So, If you are wanting just some extra low end support with out spending to much! I would 100% recommend this! I only rate it 4 stars because of the false claim of 1100 watts from BOSS, not really any issue with the seller or product.

It was a good buy me and my system sound nice

Bought it brand new in box hooked it up to 2 skar audio 6.5 400watt subs .and have not heard it because its shutting off and going in protection mode. These are junk amps this is the 3rd one that has done this. Don't waste your money on boss amps

I bought this amp due to its specifications.and price point combination. This amp is nowhere near its specifications! I expect that allot of amplifier companies will lie and overstate their capabilities... but this one was no where even near what it was stated to be. It literally only puts out like 110 watts at best... that doesn't even consider its true limit before distorting. You should expect to get maybe 85 watts distortion free. It is an absolute piece of junk. I used it for several hours before turning mu music up high in order to break it in as well as my new speaker. After listening to it loudly (?) for only a few minutes I could literally smell heated capacitors! Almost like it was ready to blow on me! I came home and immediately contacted Amazon for a return. The amp still works and nothing fried and no blown fuses... but like I said, power is no where even close and after pushing it (;maybe 80%) volume, the smell coming from it was not good! I started looking on-line for similar situations and ran across a review on the amp that actually showed the dyno results of the amps output power that proved that its only putting out around 110 watts and the guy opened up the device to show it had a ton of the cheapest capacitors you could get crammed in there. This is NOT a quality device. I fell for the lies from the manufacturer and assumed it to not be so bad... don't make the mistake I did... just buy something else! You can get an amp from Wal***** for $60 that literally puts out twice as much power and has a 3 year warranty! Run from this thing. Do not buy!

Amp itself is fine, but I recommend swapping out the “8 GA” power wire, with a true 8 AWG OFC wire. The one they provide is way too small and is a fire hazard. In reality, it's only a 14awg wire with a thick rubber coating.

I bought this to power a Kicker single 12 inch ported sub box. I got the one with the amp install wire kit. The wire kit is of good quality and came with everything needed to do the job. The amp is more than strong enough to power the Kicker 12. I actually have it almost all the way down as far as the gain and it is still hitting strong. The one thing I will say that is kind of negative is that the amp gets VERY hot. It doesn't go into protect mode but gets really hot. I do live in Southeast Texas so it's hot in the summer but the amp keeps going. I plan to add a 12 volt cooling fan just to help it last longer. All in all I would recommend this amp and wire kit.

Por el precio que pagas es excelente calidad de construcción y su circuitería de las más sólidas del mercado, solo que las potencias que dice no son las correctas, para los 4ohm que es el modo que uso mi sub da aprox 200W reales rms, pero por el precio es un excelente amplificador, fácil de instalación y manejo, tiene todo lo necesario para empezar como el filtro de frec bajas, control de ganancia, bass boost por si quieres acentuar alguna frecuencia, y también puede ser de rango completo para usar en bocinas, ademas de incluir el kit que al no ser de alta potencia no ocupas comprar mas, excelente lo recomiendo

It doesn’t matter what everyone else is saying about this amp. I had this thing hooked up in an hour and works great for the price compared to more expensive choices if your looking for a low priced amp this is it right here.

Have to improve the quality

Needed a replacement amp to power a small 250w RMS Focal subwoofer. This one has been doing the trick and it supports the heat of the amp. compartment in my A6's trunk. Of course it's not a 1100w RMS amp, more like a 250-300w RMS at 2 ohms as previous reviews listed, which was perfect for my application.

No tiene desperdicio, suena bien y la ventaja de que trae el kit de instalación, es muy conveniente
