Product Description
Why sacrifice performance for the sake of convenience? with a slimmer chassis, ARMOR is the perfect amplifier when space is limited, and power is required. Indeed, this combination of feature-rich performance and put-it-anywhere convenience is hard to find in the automotive environment; so much so that the ARMOR may well be forging its own product category.

First off this amp is really small and light. When i got it I had to open the box to make sure it had something in it. I have this pushing a 1000w MTX TR7512-44 12" Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer and the bass really kicks. Had this amp running for a little over an hour and it did not overheat and trip off. Well worth the money. Would definately recommend it. For the price you can't go wrong. Its currently $22 cheaper than when i bought it.

Bought this amp four days ago and it arrived today. I wanted to add a little extra bass to my factory system and thought that for less than 70, this should be adequate. Boy was that an understatement. I hooked it up to two 4 ohm 10" woofers and can't believe my ears or body. I set the low pass crossover all the way down (around 45 hz), just to feel the kick drum a little. This thing is CRAZY! I literally sound like i did when i was 18 years old, with the boom boom. WAY more than i expected. This thing will actually give you a headache turned up so i set it very low. And the remote bass level, is a really nice touch, for when i do get to "show it off." Just use it like a volume knob. I will definely not overwork this thing, but i also bought a 1.5 farad capacitor just so i would have ample power. Basically for around 200 dollars, 70 for amp, 30 for wiring kit, 30 for capacitor, 56 for (2) Sony Xplod 10's, and 25 for a used ported box, i have the loudest system i have ever had. This is definetly the most BANG for buck. Two thumbs up!!

This amp honestly isn't that bad. BOSS way overrates their stuff, but if you keep that in mind, you're good. The QUALITY isn't bad, the specs are just absurd.
This is NOT a 700w RMS amp. I had it powering two d10f BOSS subwoofers, and it wasn't enough. You have to bump the bass boost to the "+18db" mode to get bass out of it, and even then you can tell it's not clean sound. Too much woofer for it. If you had a 50 or 100w RMS sub, this would be a nice match I think. Heck the price is great too.
I called BOSS about this and they admitted that they published the wrong specs for this amp.
If you're getting two of the BOSS d10f subs (great subs so far btw,) I highly recommend the AR2500M (or something larger.) The power is much cleaner - solid amp. Also, the AR2000M and AR2500M both have a VARIABLE bass boost, while the AR1500M only has a switch "0" or "+18db."
I think BOSS uses RMS ratings kind of like AMD rated their CPU's back in the day. They'd call a 1.8ghz CPU a "2200+" because it performed like a 2.2
Almost wondering if that's what BOSS is trying to do. The +18db switch does kick up the sound, but it isn't clean at loud volumes (it's fine at lower volumes.)
Like I said, people knock BOSS a lot. But don't buy it thinking you're going to get stated power. Buy it using some common sense. They're not BAD amps in my opinion (actually I think this ARMOR series is pretty good - lacks some functions but for the price not bad). I think BOSS is more a victim of some questionable marketing.
