Bass Boost with remote level control.

High and low level inputs with adjustable sensitivity.

10-Inch Slim Subwoofer
The BASS1500 provides 1500 Watts of maximum power through its 10-inch super-slim woofer. Its low profile makes it ideal for mounting in all kinds of vehicles, even where space is at a premium.

High and Low Level Inputs
Both high level (speaker level) and low level (RCA type) inputs are present, making this a universal solution for use with nearly any OEM receiver or other input source.

Bass Boost With Remote Level Control
The BASS1500 offers 0 to +12dB of variable bass boost, which you can adjust on the fly using the included remote level control.

Phase Selection
A phase selector switch (0 or 180 degrees) helps you prevent unwanted phasing between your sub and speakers, which can cancel out bass content.

Adjustable Input Sensitivity Selector
Match the input levels to the output levels from your receiver, with an adjustment range of 0.2V to 6V.

Subsonic and Low Pass Filters
The BASS1500 features a low pass filter (20-150Hz) for controlling the bass content to best match your system.

Trim the signal of unusable bass--below human hearing range and taxing to audio systems--for further efficiency with the Subsonic filter (20-50Hz).

Protection
The BASS1500 features green and red LED power status indicators, so you know when there's an issue. The soft delay remote power on prevents damaging pops. Thermal, short and overload protection circuits further protect the amplifier.

This review is from: Boss BASS1500 10 inch Low Profile Amplified Subwoofer with Remote Subwoofer Level Control (Electronics)

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.
