sounds good when it stays on March 6, 2010 jamie olthoff (GREENWOOD, IN, US) I had the unit professionally installed into a jeep patriot. It fits great under the seat. I have It hooked up to the factory stereo using the high level input. It sounds great when it works, but the unit shuts off after about 10 min. If I power the stereo off for a couple seconds it will work for about another 10 min and so on. This is my second unit and I am taking it back to the installer today to try to fix. Its been a bit of a hassle, but if I can just get to work properly I would be perfectly satisfied.
Order from a good seller! February 23, 2010 Thomas L. Simpson (Phoenix) I love this amp/sub and you can't beat it for the price and ease of installation. Just beware that I've ordered 4 of these things and 2 of them were defective from the get go. As long as you order from a good seller who is willing to exchange out any bad ones, you're good to go.
No, it isn't going to rattle your windows, it just lets you know those low bass beats are there so you can hear the entire song.
LOVE IT!!!!!! February 21, 2010 David (Estero, Florida) I can't believe what some people say about this speaker. It's amazing! Fits perfect under my dodge ram passenger seat and provides plenty of bass throughout my whole cab. I don't regret this purchase at all!
Just what I needed for my Honda Civic February 15, 2010 Chaditude (Alviso, CA) I've got an after-market Sony CDX-GT630UI deck, four 6 1/2" infinity speakers, powered with 75 watts apiece from an Alpine REF475A amp. I thought I'd have everything I'd need for my little civic coupe, but to get the bass I wanted, I had to crank the entire system too loud. Since space is an issue in a small car, I was looking exclusively for a powered sub, and nearly pulled the trigger on the Infinity Basslink, which is a bit bulkier. When I saw the BASS1200 on sale, I figured I'd give it a shot and come back to the Basslink if it didn't at least bring up some of the bottom end for me.
I was hopeful, but ready for disappointment. WOW. This little box KICKS. I've had it a week, and haven't had it distort or clip. I left it pretty much at factory setting, and it has been an all around powerhouse for all of my music. I'm more of the Doors, Nirvana, Talking Heads sort of ilk, and I don't demand my sound system to travel the entire intersection at a light, but I do like it somewhat loud. Gave it the Soundgarden test, (which has a bit more heavy bass than most bands) and at all volumes it sounds unbelievable.
I could tell my friend was jealous when he heard it - he has a huge setup that takes over 1/4 of his trunk - that all that bass was coming out of the little box mounted to the back of my seat. I'm sure most folks can easily mount it under the seat, but my civic seats only have about 1" clearance in one spot that makes it impossible for this (or any other) unit to fit there.
I bought the connection kit, and had it up and running for a test in about half an hour. Mounting and running the wires took some more time, but with the money you save on this unit, you might consider having it installed if you're not the handy type.
Happy Thumping.
It sounded very good until........ February 12, 2010 Moe Jamal (MILPITAS, CA, US) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This system fit my needs very well as I have a reg. cab chevy S-10 and basically not room for anything in the cabin. Very easy to install did it in 2hrs. The manual could be revised. Well it needs to be way more detailed. I would suggest looking up online for better install guides. As for quality the sound was perfect. Crisp, clean and powerful bass!!! But then after a month of use the protection light turned on and now its being repaired under warranty. So I hope it turns out ok. Yeah Boss doesnt pay for any shipping cost for their faulty products which I think is lame!! Cuz I bought a 40" Sony LCD TV and had problems with the picture and they sent me a new one thru the mail and paid for my old one to be shipped back!! thats was nice. Also Boss isnt very coustomer friendly. Had to call several times to get a Repair Account # so I could send the product back.
If I was to only look at the sound quality this is a good product but add all the other problems then I would not buy this again.
