Class D and MOSFETClass-D amps run more efficiently and generate more power using a more compact design. Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors quickly switch from full to non-conduction for high efficiency output. |
Strapping Capability and 1 Ohm StableStrap two amplifiers together to get double the power at an impedance of 2-Ohms. 1-Ohm stable gives you maximum power for superior wattage and performance without overheating. The greater the power the more current drawn from your vehicle's electrical system. |
Variable Low Pass Filter and Subsonic FilterVariable low-pass filter gives you control over the frequencies that pass through to the subwoofer. Subsonic filter restricts low-frequencies below the specified setting for better subwoofer protection and performance. |
Subwoofer Level Control and Bass BoostA wired remote lets you easily control the subwoofer level for customized output and superior sound. Variable Bass Boost allows you to adjust the low bass within the boost range to just the way you like it. |

Low Level Inputs and Variable Input ControlLow-level inputs accept pre-amp output signals to allow for the addition of amps and processors to units equipped with RCA Pre-amp outputs. The Variable Input Control allows the amplifier input to match the output signal from the head unit to achieve optimum performance when adjusted properly. |
Phase ControlPhase control lets you adjust the speaker phase with the amplifier if your speakers or subwoofer are hooked up 'out of phase'. |
Short ProtectionAutomatic shut-off protects the amplifier if it gets too hot or if speakers fail causing a short. |
Switchable Input SensitivitySwitchable input sensitivity provides adjustable control over the input signal from the head unit to achieve customized balance between power and sound quality. |

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.
The new amp works, but the sub did not play very loud when I hooked it up per the included instructions. I ended up bridging the R & L input chanels and splicing into a mono input left from the factory sub that I stopped using. It seems to work well as of now. I know my friends and other reviewers online say these amps are grossly overrated -- they may be -- but this one puts out plenty of power to the 2000W rms sub I have. The car distorts more than the sub!
I must add that the wiring kit is a bit of a joke. The remote power wire was too short to reach from the head unit to the amp behind the back seat (in a Honda Civic coupe mind you, not some huge SUV). The provided connectors are also too big in diameter to hook up to the amp, so you have to use different connectors or grind down the ones in the kit. I ended up using about half of the parts from the kit and the rest I left aside in favor of better quality wires and connectors that actually fit.
Overall, this product has been an annoying experience, but after a month of headaches, troubleshooting, calls and emails to Boss, and more troubleshooting, I would say that I'm content with the purchase.
