Poor quality power.

I have had this amp for about 6 months now, i originally had it powering 2 10" MTX terminators at 150W RMS each, the amp did great with very little clipping with theese speakers, about 50% gain. I had since upgraded my subs to 2 10: Precision Power A.10 with the plan to upgrade my amplifier in the new year, i powered them up with this amp, wired at the same 2ohms as the MTX subs, with about 75% gain, sounded great for the first month, but into the second month the amp began to wear out and clipping occured at that gain level. I turned the gain down to 50% again and it kept clipping, well now i have $200 worth of subs with blown voice coils, I will not buy another boss product and will be ordering a Hifonics Brutus 1200.1d to replace this.

use this with low powered subs and you'll be fine. Definately not a quality amp though.

Good amp

It's a good amp if you just want a little more bang out of your subs, but it's not gonna be heard from a distance.

If your looking for a bang don't get this but if your looking for better bass this would be a good buy considering the price. It's still pretty loud.

pretty good

Product was installed into a bandpass enclosure. I don't recommend doing that. Specs said its ok but didnt perform to my expectations. I would like to have tried it in a different enclosure. It may have preformed better.

Awesome Amp

I would recommend this amp! I installed it for a friend of mine in the navy, I had his car. I hooked it up to a 12" Kicker Comp Subwoofer. It pumped that sub without a problem, I was VERY impressed!!

Pros: Amp Quality, Reliability, Design, Power

Cons: The wheel to select how hard you want it to thump didnt do much.

great amp

I bought one of these since i was on a budget to power a 10" Rockford, and it does that perfectly. Enough settings to dial it in just right and the bass control works good too. Ive recommended this amp to a friend who is now happily using it to power two kicker 8's. Never had a single problem and it dont seem to get real hot under my seat with not much airflow.

Great Amp!

I have this amp pushing two Sony Xplod XS-GTX120LW 12" Subwoofers. They sound great and hit hard. I listen to mostly country so there's a lot of bass drum coming through. This amp does a great job and gets a little warm but I have it in the trunk where's there's a lot of air flow. I recommend this amp for anyone wanting a good price and good quality.

Not bad at all

Well, I am a sound quality guy, so everything in my vehicle is MB quart and focal etc. But I got this amp as a temp amp until I got my custom rack finished for the quarts. And I have to say, I was impressed. Especially for the stereotype that BOSS has as a reliable brand. So, it must be pointed out that I have owned many amplifiers over the years and aside from the black amplifiers that BOSS sells (which are actually not good at all), this one and the other silver models keep up well with everything else for the price. If you are looking for something simple, effective, and satisfactory, as a professional audio engineer, I must say, you should give this a try. I never had to replace it. Never had to push it hard. Never had problems with it at all. As long as you use it as intended, you should be fairly impressed with the quality of the cx models from BOSS. But stay away from any of the black amps they sell.

Slight Regret

I do have a slight regret about buying this amp. I used it in putting together a sound system for my sister and she doesn't know the difference between one amp and another, but she does notice when the sound stops, and that isn't good. This amp is putting out plenty of power for pushing a couple of 8's (which burned up because one of her friends thought she wasn't getting enough bass and turned up the amp during their break in period), and i even hooked up one of my old school Fosgate Punch 15s for temporary and it pushes it decent too. The main problem I see with it is that it gets too hot. It can go a good hour or so maxed out but eventually, it overheats. Of course this is a class AB amp so heat is not much of a surprise, but overheating should not happen, in my opinion. Great for short bursts, but for long runs, keep the gain down to about 1/4 and it will go much further. I would recommend getting a class d amp, as they put out good power and generally stay cooler, but for the money, I really can't gripe too much about this amp.

Well worth it

I needed my bass in my car, I wanted about 2 maybe 300rms. This thing delivers, please note this is @ 4ohms. It can go about 5 or 600rms with 2ohm. And 1100max. For the price and includes a remote level control, its well worth it!

Muy bueno lo recomiendo

I was looking for good bass in my minivan and it turned out perfect. I can feel the vibration in the distance. Set in a box with 2 subs and they sound the best at a reasonable price.

Very nice mono amp

This thing is awesome for the money spent. I have this in my boat powering a 12" Power Acoustic that I bought through Sonic Electronics and it hits harder than I would have imagined there is enough power left to run another 12. I don't use the bass knob because it is so easy to setup and fine tune from the get go. I will recommend to anyone.

Good bang for buck

Amp is great, i use it to power 2 10" subs and it hits no problem, only downfall is the bass remote that comes with it. I am less than pleased with the quality of it, very cheap feeling plastic and when plugged in i lose about 20% volume.

Great AMP

This amplifier has definitely held up to expectations. It has a lot of power. I have it running into a 175w RMS 300w peak 12" subwoofer. I haven't had a single issue with it. It's worth the try/buy.

Good amp for the price

This amp powered my 4 12 inch subs, and it never over heated. However it would turn off once or twice but it was powering 4 twelevs which is alot for one amp. pretty good amp for the price its worth the money.

Its Okay

I have owned this amp for about 6 months now, and it just cut out. I had my sub wired for two ohms which the sub can handle. It couldnt and would overheat. I rewired my sub to 4 ohms and now it sounds better. For the price its an okay amp. But for a little bit more you should probably just go with something a little more reliable.

ya get what ya pay for

It's alright. Installation was easy. So far, (about 3 months later) it seems pretty durable, doesn't get hot. The bass knob is useless, i wouldn't recommend even installing it. Just use the sub controls on your deck. I have it pushing a kicker shallow mount 4 ohms rated at 400rms and this just doesn't push it like i feel it could be pushed. Will upgrade at a later date. Probly with a higher quality amp. Overall, you get what you pay for. Kudos to Sonic though. Their customer service, and shipping are first class. Have ordered several items and their shipping is always prompt.

Great Amp

The Boss CX1100M is one of the best decisions I have ever made in choosing an amplifier. The wattage that it puts out is EXTREEM for the low price that it cost. I have my CX1100M hooked up in a 2003 Ford Mustang Convertable with two 10' Bazooka Liquid cool subs & it POUNDS. At first I thought I wasn't liking cause it wasn't putting out the Bass that I like & I wanted to go back using my 1200 watt Power Acoustik amp, but as soon as I changed my Head Unit I was very impressed with the decision that I had made, and I think you will be too.

Great amp for the money

Bought this amp to drive surrounding speakers in my van. I installed kicker 3.5 in and Orion 6x9 in each corner wired in parallel so this amp drives 8 sets of speakers at 2 ohm load. Sounds great, does not get too hot at full load, lots of headroom, no clipping or ignition noise. Nice - will buy again.

Excellent bang for the price

Just got it in today, and finally got to hear my Alpine Type R with some potential. It pushes nicely, you're not going to be heard miles away, but it is a great value for the price. I'm thinking about upgrading in a month to the 2000watt Boss.

Can't beat it bang for buck!

I have this amp powering 2 Infinity 1062s in a sealed box and they pound hard. I replaced an older Kenwood 6201 with this amp and there is a noticeable difference. The BOSS provides way more sound. So what if BOSS amps are rated in max power. Pay attention to the RMS rating and you won't be disappointed. Amp always runs cool. Match it with the right subs and you've got the best bang for the buck mono amp available.

Nice Amp

I bought this amp about a year ago along with a 1200W Kenwood 12 " sub and ported box and it preforms. This amp give my sub a nice boom, yet still a good kick of quality for those audio enthusiasts like me. A very nice amp for an average sub, just cant shake your fellow drivers windows. Gets a little warm when you're booming loud, but other than that, a great starter amp.
