Boss BASS1500 10 inch Low Profile Amplified Subwoofer with Remote Review

Customer Ratings:

The bass1500 is rated at 900 watts, with 1500 watts max power. I must say, I was skeptical, but this thing is great. After half an hour of installation, then an hour of tweaking, this thing competes with my friend's Kickers. Let it be noted, this probably will not fit under your seat unless you have a bench. I impulsively bought this 10'' instead of the 8'' and it does not fit under any seat in my 2002 Ford Explorer SUV. But, this thing is able to fill up the entire vehicle! It rattles my seat, my mirrors, my chest, and I only have it at 1/3rd power. I have the preout volume on my receiver to negative 1. So this thing with a little adjustment, could be an overwhelming bass!

But I am a musician, an audiophile, and a modest guy. I just wanted some low-end, as only 70% of music can be heard without a subwoofer. It fills the lows and then some. You must mess with all of the adjustments before you see results! I was disappointed with the tone at first, but I was determined and now i have a rockin' set up. It was just what I was missing. This thing makes it a pleasure to drive. It is excellent build quality, it is sleek, it is pretty big but it is thin. Make a mock up of the dimension out of cardboard to see where it will fit in your car. Also, this is important. I suggest using 8-gauge wire. Though 4-gauge would probably be recommended for 1500watts, mine is running quite well on just 8 gauge. Do not use 10 or 12, you might blow a fuse or overheat the sub. The higher the gauge, the safer the set up.

Great product, I would easily buy another.

I've recently downgraded from a high powered sub in a space consuming enclosure powered by a high powered amp to this BASS1500. I have a hatch back so basically nothing came between me and my bass.

At first on seeing the product I thought it was too good to be true but unfortunately I did not read enough reviews. As the other views quite accurately stated if you are looking to complete your system with a moderate amount of low end this product is perfect for you! (with some tweaking though)

However if you are accustomed to rattling your mirrors and setting off car alarms and looking for a substitute that conserves space this is not the product for you!

I burned mine out within a day. I was satisfied with the output until it gave up on me. I really did push it to it's limits. (hooked up with 8 gauge wire properly fused, grounded mounted and everything)

All in all, great solution if you're not looking for deafening bass and remember DO NOT OVER PUSH!!!

I am very impressed with this subwoofer, at first I was a bit worried due to its small size. But it performs surprizingly well, and hits pretty hard too. I have it installed in a 1997 ford ranger, single cab on the back wall. There is even still plenty of room to put the seat all the way back. The install went extreamly well, I also purchased a Boss 2 farad capacitor to go with it. I am using Rockford speakers and a R-150 Rockford amp in the doors for 120Hz and up, and I have the sub set for 120Hz and down. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for bass in a small area.

Honest reviews on Boss BASS1500 10 inch Low Profile Amplified Subwoofer with Remote

Just had my local sound shop install the Boss Bass1500 behind the passenger seat of my '99 Miata. They'd put in an Alpine deck and amp powering Boston Acoustics separates, 6.5" mid-bass and 1" soft-dome tweeter, which sounded terrific but lacked low-end grunt. The Boss unit was the perfect solution -didn't take up very much room in what is a tiny car, and while it won't rattle your fillings the bass fill is just what I was searching for. Two caveats: Reviews for the previous model, the Bass1200, show that quite a few go bad. That is likely attributable to a) incorrect or improper installation -most likely a power source other than straight from the battery or poor grounding -and/or b) people pushing the unit too far, so that the amp clips and dies. Run juice straight from the battery and don't push the output so hard, and this heavy, solid-feeling unit should last quite some time. Better yet, if you want even more bass and have room under your seats but don't want a big sub box in your cabin (SUVs) or trunk, buy two, one under each seat, and you'll be slammin'! All in all, an excellent solution to what I needed.

First of all.. Let me say that this sub woofer will not blow your windows out.

That being said if your looking for a sub that does that... you should be looking at something bigger.

For every one else that just wants to hear and feel some bass this sub is perfect, especially if you do not have that much space. Trust me this sub is a space saver. i have a Pontiac Fiero and those things are pretty much the definition of small lol.

Anyway this sub looks pretty, has a nice glossy black finish and works well out of the box. although you will probably have to tweak with it a little bit to get the desired sound but its worth it.
