Even though it tests much lower than advertised, on a non-amp system this made a HUGE difference in sound, bass, volume. It was crazy. Good enough for me, not needing to make up the world with a vibrating license plate sound. Hook it up to a system which has no amp, you will see a big difference.

@@MickeyMishra You're sooo, spot the fuck on! About everything, these sell like hot bread. When the special edition was popular a kid from across where i worked hooked one up DIRECTLY to the house 120V AC and blew the thing and then just gave it away to me because who he brought it to couldn't fix it. It's been in a pile of other junk at my house for years and about a few weeks ago i was cleaning up and saw it, decided to take it apart and see what's up. Checked the 494 ic it was shorted, all the 44n mosfets were shorted or open, a few silicon diodes were shorted in the PWM circuit along with a cap. Changed them all out, the amp came on but in protection mode and then after awhile the LED just went out. Turns out there was a blown bipolar transistor that drives the 44n mosfet, changed it out and BAM! Green light, i have IT bumping a 12" in my house right now. Crazy!
At the time (6 years ago) when I got this "amp" for my kids civic it was on sale for dirt cheap, together with the little 10 inch sub it all came out to $150 bucks. The thing still bumps. All the kid wanted was a little bit more bass.
I too was one of the people that got tricked thinking that it was a real 1100watts. but at that time,10 years ago, I was just happy that it wasnt overheating like the previous walmart pioneer amp that I bought.
I had all the Boss purple amps back in the day 500/600/650/750 and they all worked awesome zero problems. If they would just say 180 watts 😂 we’d be good. Now sales would drop 🎉
Just bought it for $54 on Amazon. I just needed 100 watts RMS into 4 ohms to power a Clark Synthesis transducer. The CT was exactly twice as expensive.
True, but brands also ALREADY KNOW that people look at the fuses to determine if an amplifier is more or less powerful, AND THE BRANDS ARE ALSO USING HIGHER-POWER FUSES THAN THEY SHOULD. This poses a danger, as it can burn out some internal component.
That is sad I'm never going to buy boss products I have always been iffy about their products And this just proves my point that they're not very good I'm kind of curious what happens if you hook up an amp though to 24 V
Well, seeing how many of these have internal 16v caps and circuits, they cant handle much more than 16v. Better brands have 25v caps and regs and can handle 18v or more
Good cheap amp with a knob - my cheap kicker 12 only needs 75-150 RMS, so it does the job. Had one 10 years ago that had zero issues for 6 years pushin a 10...
A list of better amps the cost less would be cool . . I will say the protection circuit in a boss amp is very reliable you can give a boss to someone who has no idea what they doing they can wire it backwards and turn it on and it will protect it's self fix the wiring and it still works . But I still do not ever recommend boss to anybody ever or planet audio , or ssl or the other brand that they own under same company I can't think of right now .
Hello sir, I would like to know about a resistor for a Boss R1100M amplifier. I have one with a burned out resistor and I don't know the colors to buy it.
@@ATCA that is not bad for a little bump n the trunk I got one today new for 40 I've had high end stuff 15 years ago I'm excited to get a little base in my factory setup
If you had high end stuff before you sure as hell wouldnt waste $40 on a pos amp like this much less have a factory setup. Thats right, you are a lie bot.
Different companies yes. Qualities? Bose has done what most companies do. They make a good product and build a reputation, then shit all over it with cheap, garbage materials and poor assembly to maximize profit. Other examples of this business practice include Kicker audio, Craftsman tools, Dewalt cordless, and the worst of all- BMW. But, as you see people keep buying the shit because there is a whole lot of stupid people out there that are to dumb to know what they are looking at and dont care to research anything mostly from sheer laziness.
Im literally running this amp right now powering a skar sdrd4 10 600rms and this combo literally hits like a truck! Not saying your equipment is wrong but maybe you got a defective amp in your hands, considering a friend of mine is running one as well and hes running 800rms from the r1100m and im running around 550rms.
Long answer ? Fuck yeah they suck ass. CT Sounds, Recoil , Taramps , NVX, or PRV are better for just a little more cash . BOSS ( also make SSL and Planet Audio ) is a flea market brand . Want to blow your speakers that you invested in because you fed them a ton of distortion? BOSS is your brand.,
Because the boss will never fail. I'd rather have reliability. Class a/b sounds better than shitty power class d. Go watch what d wiz had to do to kill a boss amp.

I got the same amp for 4 mids 6.5 krack audio 😢 really regreting it and i havent connected it yet!
I had a silver 1200 watt one i never did to much with just hook it up to a pare of oldschool 8 inch kickers i had
Can't say about that amp, but 3 days ago I received a Planet Audio 3000 2 ch and that is a great sounding amp new $119 Ebay.

Yea. But did you not watch the power? 2x the price, 5x the power. Half the size

For $20 bucks more, the Recoil RED600.1 outperforms this amp x5.
Agreed like what Recoil is about good budget brand.
