R1100M 1100 Watt Monoblock Car Amplifier

Components installed: - One Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X10 10-inch shallow loaded enclosure - Kenwood KDC-BT555U receiver/head - Boss R1100M monoblock amp - Sirius/XM SXV-200v1 tuner - Metra single DIN faceplate kit - Metra wiring harness adapter I wanted to use a local business for this installation, but they quoted me $750 to install $250 worth of components. So I decided to order the stuff from Amazon and do it myself. I got a much better head, a better amp, the Sirius/XM tuner (not included in the quote from the local vendor) and the same subwoofer/enclosure for less than $350. It took me parts of three days to do the install, but it was fun, I learned a lot, and I do quality work (even if I do say so myself). The bottom line is, the system sounds awesome. I had already upgraded the stock Infinity speakers in the front and rear doors with a set of Boston Acoustic speakers. I did this a few years ago when the stock speakers got wet or rotted and started buzzing. This gave me a tinny sound that had very little low end. That and the fact that I could not use my iPhone with this system finally prompted me to upgrade. I had never installed an amp before and didn't have the first idea what would be required. Luckily a lot of info is available on the Internet that makes this stuff doable. The local installer had told me that this size subwoofer enclosure would fit behind the smaller driver-side rear seat in my Dakota Quad Cab, but that turned out to be incorrect. The alternative is to spend an additional $200-$300 to purchase a molded enclosure, plus the cost of the actual subwoofer. So I decided to locate the enclosure on the rear floorboard, snugged up against the middle console, facing backwards. I am still in the process of trying to decide how to anchor it there--it's dangerous to have something that heavy not properly anchored down, as it could become the source of severe head trauma in a crash. I am thinking I'll probably use some combination of velcro and home-made brackets. The one thing I have noticed is that, if it is placed directly against the back of the console, the console will not lift up and out of the way in the front seat. This is a problem for me, because that's usually where I place my Glock when I'm transporting it but want to keep it out of view.. But, from a rear-seat occupant perspective, this configuration allows two people to still ride comfortably in the back, though it does extend slightly into each occupant's knee space. It pretty much makes the middle seat unusable though, so if you need that much passenger room, you will need to spring for the molded enclosures that fits under that seat. Luckily I rarely have passengers riding in the back. The hardest thing about the install was running the 8-guage power supply from the battery through the firewall into the pax compartment. Using Internet research, I located the wiring harness grommet on the driver's side, and was able to use a coathanger to get the wire through. I pushed the coathanger through and then electrical-taped the 8-guage power supply wire to the other end of the coathanger. First time it came loose, but second attempt worked like a charm. The wiring harness kit was pretty simple. The order is Kenwood wiring harness-->adapter kit from Amazon-->factory connections in my truck. The wiring is almost idiot-proof as it is pretty much color-to-color. The only discretion involved my truck's OEM amplifier--I needed to connect its control wire and the new amp's control wire to the single P-CONT wire from the new harness. If you understand that all these wires do is turn on the amps when the radio is powered up and turn them off again when the head unit is off, it's a no-brainer to figure out you just need to wire both control wires to this same wire in the harness. To test the connections, I twisted all the wires together and electrical-taped them. Once I confirmed everything was working, I took the harnesses back into my house and soldered them and used rubber heat shrink around the soldered connections. I prefer that to the cheap crimp connectors included in the 1100 amp wiring kit I purchased at Walmart. The one thing that nearly threw me off was the amp's "Protection" light that illuminated after I cleaned everything up and put the trim back on the interior of my truck. Luckily, I was able to search the Amazon user comments and learned that an improperly grounded amp is one of the causes. Sure enough, I removed the piece of trim under which I had connected the 8-guage ground wire to the body of the truck with a screw and saw that I had jarred loose the ground wire when I snapped that piece of trim back in. My advice is, if you get a "Protection" light on this amp, check the ground wire connection before you do anything else. I am amazed at the quality of the sound. The bass is amazing and it's almost like having a new truck. I highly recommend these components.

I am an electric keytar player in a post pre-ironic hardcore pop metal band called "Peace Strangle," check out our latest demo on Myspace. Anywho, we travel to some pretty big venues like Chuck E Cheese, or the Wendy's parking lot. You name it, we have played it. However, about 2 months ago the band was offered an opportunity we couldn't pass up. A chance to play at president Putin's favorite Ihop in Moscow. We knew this was how we reach our demographic that we have been struggling to connect with, Communist. So we graciously accepted and began preparing ourselves for the show in Russia. We had a couple weeks to get ready for the show on June 12th, which is Russia Day for the country. So we got plane tickets and all the prep done, and had been practicing like crazy. Until, the last few days before we had to leave one of our amps blew a fuse. Well, Snickers! Alright, so we scope out online quickly for a reasonable and functioning replacement. We stumble across this amp, and thought we struck gold. 1100W Amp for that price! We bought it on the spot with a couple day delivery. We ran into some more unfortunate circumstances when Salazar's paypal didn't process the request right away, it had a day and a half lag. We got our new amp at 8:03AM Jun. 12, we had to be on the plane for Moscow by 10:15AM. We didn't even unbox it, threw it in the band van and booked it. We made the flight with about 4 mins to spare. ALRIGHT MADE IT! We enjoy our 9 and a half hour flight in various ways. Salazar likes to do this thing where he speaks in different dialects to screw with near-by passengers. He once pretended to be a blind Rastafarian for an all day flight from JFK to Tokyo, it could have won an Oscar. But I digress, we arrive in Russia and are immediately swept off the plane by Putin's private security to be escorted to the Ihop where we were to preform. When we pulled up the place was a mob, thousands, if not hundreds of people were crowded around the joint. Only a handful of people were actually inside the pancake house, one of those people being Putin himself. We pushed through the crowd along with the smell of vodka and potatoes. All of our equipment was set up and ready to go for us, everything except our new amp. Which had been opened but not set up, we point this out and state how we need the amp for one of us to use. Without batting an eye Putin shoots a look at one of his men, who then proceeds to start yelling in Russian to a near-by worker. They seemed really excited by our soon to be show. After a few mins of setting up the amp, we are finally ready. I decided I would use the new amp since it was really low to the ground and my keytar could reach fine. We start our setlist off with one of Putin's favorite songs by us( One of his men mentioned it on the way to the show.), " Murder Love Remix." Now everything seems to be going great, everything sounds and looks good. My part of the song doesn't come in until after the bass drops but before the metal drum solo, so about 3 mins into the song. I start to play my part, only to have the amp blow up, killing the lights and sending metal shrapnel in every direction. It was at this point I heard Col. Heinz Salazar shout, "FLASHBANG OUT, GO LOUD!" At that moment Lt. Dan Taylor and Sgt. Frank Woods(The Guitar and Accordion players.) cocked back their hidden rifles in the instruments. They wait for the flash, and let loose a barrage of controlled burst into anything and anyone in the Ihop that wasn't us. As my three "bandmates" lay down suppressing fire, it is time for my part of the plan. I slam the C-major cord and flick the pitch switch back and forth 3 times as I do, this initiates the reaction. Enough C4 and thermite to level a small country, it was set to blow up in a circumference 5 miles around with the epicenter being the Ihop. This was too slow any attempt to try and detain us and provide an in-direct LZ. The silence that followed the blast, was deafening. Only broken by a coughing injured Putin, wide eyed and clearly befuddled. Col. Salazar looks in to the Russian president's eyes and said the following, " Good evening sir, we are from the United States special forces. We are here to take you back with us for....questioning?" The lack of understanding in Putin's eyes seemed to irritate the Colonel, but before he could have acted on it, we heard the Blackhawk closing in on our LZ. We restrained Putin and the 5 of us headed to the roof for extraction. As we were leaving I took a small piece of the amp that was laying around for remembrance sake. The helicopter ride to the hidden plane on an unmarked runway was blissfully calm. When we landed at the runway, we were greeted by 4 of the most politically powerful people in America. They congratulated and thanked us for unrepayable debt of heroism and patriotism. We were debriefed on what "we needed to know." We never saw Putin again, but this amp was the start to a much needed revolution. But it won't power your band's instruments. 5/5 Would Vladly buy another.

I don’t think you can this little sub for the money. Dollar for dollar, this amp is the best. I have my Boss head unit that i running to a Sound Stream digital bass processor then to the Boss monoblock amplifier and that is powering a Skar Audio 600watt 12” subwoofer. It produces some great bass in my 2012 Toyota Takoma Prerunner. I had to get very crafty and built myself a box that utilizes the back wall of the cab and is almost as wide as the truck to have been able to have the sqft that necessary for a ported box. Processor and amp are located in the storage compartment under the back seats. It’s sounds so good. I had another name brand amplifier and 2 10” subs in a sealed box behind the rear seats and this set with my boss amp and 12” Skar sub far out performs that setup 10 times over. It does shake everything in my truck if I want it to. I keep it turned down low because I don’t care it to rattle the truck apart but just enough base in the music to rattle my rearview mirror. I would absolutely recommend this amp to anyone! Out of everything I’ve purchased for my system in my truck this little amp has been by far the best purchase. The remote is my only dislike. It feels cheap and janky. But definitely not a deal breaker.

My only worry? Will it hold up or what kind durability and reliability does it have. Background: Been playing with car stereos since the Delco 8-Track and Mind Blower 6 X 9's in my 1974 Monte Carlo. Use a set of Marantz Home Audio speakers and that car stereo absolutely pushed these 150 each speakers with about 99db at 1 watt rating. We'd go to the park, open the truck stand the speakers up and they get almost discotheque loud. They also still held great sound and almost distortion free. The current system sounds better LOL! The system consists of: An old 2005 GMC Envoy, Bose Audio System with surround sound, Center Console with DVD Player and separate sound system for the rear passenger. Everything on it still works that's why I kept it. It sounds good but was never meant heavy music and even Hotel California makes it limit itself. It will not let you blow it (Amp and or Speakers) up playing the music too loud. My goal was to keep this intact but add some punch to it. Goals met and exceeded! First I added a PAC AOEMGM24 Add An Amp Interface. Sweet video on you tube for adding this device to the the Bose Car Audio Receiver. It gave it a 5 star review as well. This took about an half an hour and everything went well. The R1100M Amp was installed in about 20 minutes because I already had a 80 + 80 two channel amp installed. All I had to do is install the remote knob. A snap and took longer to run the wire. I didn't run mine all the way to the back and it barely fits under the driver's seat. I'm only using one 2500 watt (they wish LOL) Pioneer Premier 10" speaker. Its 4ohm DVC is rigged for 2ohm operation. http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9201/14ohmdvc2ohm.gif and TSW2501-D4. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/pictures_new.php?id=9235&picture_id=-1 Setup worked out to only about 4 on the volume and crossed over at or around 80hz.. One day now and only 10 songs. The reviewers saying it is a very good amp for the money nailed it. So far I'm glad I bought it. This is too much amp for that one 10" speaker. Even with the Volume on the Bose receiver at only at 3.5 to 4, it booms out some of the sweetest lows and easily compare to my 500 Watt JBL SB 120 in the house:) But its louder than that JBL by a bunch. If I had to guess, I'd say 200 Watts clean without any kind of strain. Once setup, it is louder than I want or need but is nice having the ump there if I need it. Sadie's "Ordinary Love". I'm thinking What in the hell is there a boost setting for LOL! As soon as Johnny Guitar Watson's "A Real Mother For Ya" first bass note hit, this thing rocked. Hotel California bass and bass drum shook my review mirror so hard I thought it was going to fall off. Dang I'm too old for this but still love it. Two Higher end twelves or average 15"'s would love this thing. Remote knob works just like it is supposed to. Easy 5 star!

Ordered this amp to replace a Skar mono class D that came faulty out of the box(130bucks). Only realized that after triple checking and troubleshooting everything else. So i replaced it with this! once seeing the reviews and the price did not hesitate to buy it. I have this hooked up to a 10" shallow mount Skar sub under the backseat of my f150. I have aftermarket speakers hooked up to my stock head unit, and still after tweaking the settings on this amp just right it sounds amazing! This little amp pushes this one sub at 2ohms great. Its also a great size to mount wherever you like. Now i consider myself an old soul and just want my music to sound crisp and clean, which this does. You can hear it decently from outside the truck but its not going to rattle anyone's house.

I've reviewed and tested several Boss Audio car audio amplifiers over the years, including the AR1500M and AR4000D. In previous years, these have been the best selling car audio amplifiers on Amazon. For 2019, the Riot 1100M has been the best seller and for a good reason...it promises 1100W "Max" or 825W RMS at 2 ohms for around 50 USD. The amp includes a remote level control and a 1yr warranty out of the box. How can you resist such a value? Well, I use the SMD AD-1 Amplifier Dyno to measure RMS power output from amps and here are the results of the Boss Riot 1100M: (all measurements taken at 40Hz and are RMS power results; certified = 1% THD, uncertified = clipping, dynamic = dynamic RMS power) 4 ohms rating: 413W RMS @14.4VDC 4 ohms certified: 111W @ 14.65VDC 4 ohms uncertified: 118W @14.56VDC 4 ohms dynamic: 120W @14.66VDC 2 ohms rating: 825W RMS @14.4VDC 2 ohms certified: 175W @ 14.44VDC 2 ohms uncertified: 192W @ 14.32VDC 2 ohms dynamic: 198W @14.46VDC Please see the attached photo of the remainder of the Amp Dyno results sheet as it includes 1.6 ohms as well. The amp went into protect with 1 ohm loads. The Boss amps have a rock solid design, just confusing to the consumer as to the power they actually put out. This is why I buy and test amps so people know for sure. Over all the amp is a great value, but please understand you are not getting anywhere near 1100 watts. You can't knock them for the price and reliability though. Just please, Boss, correct the ratings of your products!

This is a very good starter amp. The fact that it's a cheaper option that comes with a bass volume control is a big plus. The last amp I bought for the same price had a set bass value so it was dependent on the stereos volume level.

Long story short, hubby is using this as an amp for a subwoofer in our 5.1 home theater system, works as expected. Our setup: Onkyo TX-SR304 (65W per channel) Center channel: RCA 40-5038 200W Center Channel Speaker Dual 5" Drivers Monopole Linaeum Tweeter Mains: Pioneer S-HF21-LR (100W each) Surrounds: Realistic Minimus-7W 40-2039B Walnut grain (40W each) Sub: BSR DR-SW15x2 passive dual coil (200W) Sub Amp (this item): Boss R1100M Riot Monoblock amp Sub Amp power supply: FSP 300-60BN (+12v @ 11A max) As you can see, our HT system is a piecemeal of older components so an auto amp powering the sub is no stranger to our living room. Once the sub was wired up for 4-ohm dual-L/R bridged to 8-ohm it keeps the volume levels consistent via the LFE pre-out (which needed a single-to-dual RCA adapter to connect to the low-level input on the BOSS amp) it is a welcome addition to our system. Pros: Good sound at lower power, low price (easily 1/3 the cost of typical dedicated sub pre-amp/amplifiers for HT use). Cons: The remote unit does not seem to control the volume level as expected, lots of elbow grease needed to convert this to HT use (not really a con, very fun to be honest :) Lucked out with the FSP PSU, is able to run on +12v load alone without needing 5v or 3.3v pull-up (sometimes needed for older PC switching power supplies) and the +12v rail should be able to handle the power to match the Onkyo output without any problems (and can be replaced w/ a seasonic SS unit quite easily). All the +12v yellow wires were snipped from the molex connectors (and one from the 20-pin ATX, 5x18AWG total for +12v) were bundled to a yellow crimp connector mated to 2x16AWG zip cord for power to the amp, and same for the ground. The cheap sony speakers in the pic were just for testing the BSRs crossover, they are terrible but work :) Once it was all set up we fired up the youtube app on our Visio smart TV and played some random R&B compilation, the first track was Bruno's 24K Magic - WOW what a difference that sub makes, the 15" rocks the entire wall unit when turned up, had to turn it down before the pictures started falling of the shelf. Needless to say, we are extremely satisfied with our purchase.

Ottima qualità

I purchased the R1100 last week and about half an hour later was emailed to say they did not have it in stock but could send the R1600 for no extra charge. So although i cant speak for the quality of the R1100, i can give a shining review for the R1600. Package arrived earlier than expected and immediately on opening it you could tell it was well made. Its currently hooked up to a single 400w 4ohm sub and it sounds fantastic (RMS of the amp is 350/4ohm). The remote input thingy is also really useful so you're not constantly deafening yourself. Hopefully it's durable enough to last a few years but so far I've been nothing but impressed.

リモートのボリュームを絞っても完全に音を消すことはできません しかし、この価格でこの音、コスパ最高です しっかりとダンピングの効いた腰のある低音が出ます 電源ONからの立ち上がりがいくらか遅いです 出力に偽りはありません。十分な力があります 高価なものは必要無いと感じるほどのアンプですね。

Good sound
