I'm stuck between which car amp to buy, as far as I know people say Boss aren't very good, I'm in search of an amp handling over 2000 watts but cheap?

I just purchased this amp and let me tell you with the boss 2300watt 12in subwoofer it works great plenty of power with room to spare running the subs at 2 ohms, so far very good.

Well I have two quantum cosmic series 12's on the 2.1500 and it sounds like my jeep is going to rattle apart. Both of my subs are rated at 1200 if I'm not mistaken . I'm happy with it's performance on both subs. Recently I bridged it onto just one of the subs and it sounds fine but it just won't tune right . But to answer your question I'm satisfied . As long as your not trying to hit on the db meter you'll be satisfied with the performance and the price

Boss is very great! I have one so do my brothers and none of us have ever had any problems with them. And they can handle a good amount of watts. I have two 2100 max subs and they sound great. And boss is pretty cheap.

Bro I'll be 100% honest it's a good amp but it's for sure not pushin 3000 amps. It hits hard but it has it's limit and will shut off if pushed too hard...one you have it set and equalized right it's a solid amp I have 2 bridged subs on it and it works perfect. Out of the 4 mths I've had it, it's only overheated once and shut off maybe 3 times because I turned it past it's limit lol but overall it's pretty good man iwould suggest it for a good sound for sure!

I would not recommend this amp. I was powering 2 12 inch digital design subs. It over heated all the time, would randomly shut off and blew on my with only using it for about 3 months and it was not bridged I would prefer a rockford amp they are a little bit more but worth the money
1835789
Its not top of the line but for the price u cant beat it i currently have that exact amp in my car powering two 15 inch kicker cvr comp and it bangs it never shuts off or overheat so for the money its well worth it
1835790
Mine works great. I have 2 1600 watt pioneers hooked up to them. Before this one I had a 1600 Boss pushing 2 800 watt subs
1835791
For the price and sound well worth it and it hasn't overheated on me once and I've owned it for 4 months now
1835792
I'm going to tell you right now you get so much for such a little price. and it's actually very strongly made

dude get the PX3200D its a class d 1ohm stable amp that anarchy ac1500.1 is an class a/b class D amps practicall effieciency is over 90 perc class a/b amps are no more then 78 percent also 1ohm amp gives you alot more possiblitys to wire your subs and if you can bear to lose a few more bucks got for the planet audio big bang BB2500.1 its there top of the line amplifiers. and its like 160 bucks

Tuff q. Cause there's many variables u have to look at like I got mine wired for 2. ohm with 0 Guage and got 2 amps a kicker 1100 and a weird brand that's 2500 but both are 2 ohm stable I wish I could have 6000 watts to match my subs but my car is a Volvo and not much room to upgrade my alinator to be able to pull 6000 watts bUT deff. Do 0 Guage so u don't ever have to upgrade u r wiring anymore that's your I did it... if u want shoot me a call or text be a lot easier to explain than a huge paragraph or a lot of info .. 5098287627

That's a quite complex question you should look it up online to know more. Simply said you can play a sub at 1,2 or 4 ohm. It's takes a weaker amp to power at 1 but it also puts more stress on the speakers. At 4 ohm it would be hard to fully supple the power. Your best bet is to look up wiring for 2 ohm or 4 ohm subs and match it with what is in your car or when your planning to have. You can't simply say one is better than other. Amplifiers have diffrent ohm they supply to depending on the amp type and setup.

The rms on the infinity is 300w, 150 is not enough to push that sub, especially if your putting the sub in the trunk of your car that has a gas tank separating the cabin from the trunk. I would go with a stronger amp, JL Audio Jx 500/1 is a great amp. I have this amp and it hits HARD! One more note do not install your sub in a cheap box, a good sub box makes a big difference.

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

This is not a good amp to power any thing except a bunch of engine noise feedback..... do your self a favor and save up 20 or 40 more dollars and get the next model line up or a different brand

No you will burn up the subs from underpower.the boss amp is 250 RMS @2 ohms.look for a amp that is 400 watts RMS. The mtx is rated 400 @2 ohms its a single channel. So you need a monoblock like lanzar htg157

Its sounds great. But it's always better better with 1000watts or more. Mines is only 800watts. The dash radio plays an important role aswell as the amplifier. My amp is 3000watt and i have all 4 car speakers 250w each and 2 subs at 800w each all connected on my 5 channel amp.

I used a boss 4000 watts hits hard for a cheap amp... Always have more power on amp then subs so you can hit hard it wont harm anything. Forget capacitors ... you need deep cycle batteries red optima .. one for alternator and one in trunk .. one amp per 12" .. Dobt forget to wrap ya doors and trunk with sound and heat barriers helps rattle .. Enclosed box best... for deep bass or open box for mid level

I would get an amp that delivers. These are no joke unlike what I thought. Not top of the line but not to be set to the side either. I don't recommend the pyramid eq. But I do recommend the pole 4000 watt dual channel amp. They work well together for the price of each

no i have bought to different boss amps and they both have a bad ground problem. i hooked up a name brand amp and i did not have any problems. but that's just my opinion

Memphis car audio (Reference Audio), XTC, Targa, and Digital Designs all make themselves look good on paper. The only amp I have seen and heard are the Memphis (Reference) and a Sound Stream blew the Reference away. Your looking at all cheap equipment, sorry to say. The Pioneer may have good price, but as far as performance, the Pioneer will put out. May damage your 5x7 and I know will blow your Lightning Audios. I'm running Pioneer amps, but with Infinity components. On my Pioneer Mono amp, for fun I took a Audiobon sub that said it was 1000watts RMS and blew it up in 3 minuets. Never look at Peak Power of any car audio. You want to look at RMS Power. Rockford has become a crap product in its years. They use to be good back in the 90's. Hate to tell you, but Lightning Audio is worst. Lightning Audio distorts even at mid volume. If your wanting to build a system, save your money and do it right. I'm not trying to sound like an a@@ but your looking for trouble using cheap amps and speakers. As far as comparing Pioneer to the others you asked. If you don't know or under stand Watts Peak and RMS or ohms and amperage I would be talking Chinese to you. All I can say is the amps you are looking at are cheap crap...

Hi, I'm using a Boss R1100M mono block. I believe they're around $50 bucks. Great amp for the money. Peace.

I would recommend having at least 500w-800 for a good pound, if u want a comp system it'll hold up to 3500 watt amp. But that's professional hook ups for that, I run these 2 12s with a SSL 1500 watt amp only pishing 700 and it rattle my car!

I am sorry, but i haven't tried my Amp yet. Yea i know, i bought it awhile ago but i will try to install it in my car this year. Ps i don't know if it will run on the specifications you wrote, i don't know so much about installing amps or subwoofers so i'll get a friend to install the sound in my car.

Honestly, I would go with a CEA-2006 compliant amp. This amp puts lots of distortion, and hardly any real power. I use Massive Audio amps now. What a world of difference. Pay the extra money, and don't buy Boss.
