BOSS Audio SystemsCE102 2 Channel Car Amplifier - 100 Watts, Full Range, Class A/B, IC (Integrated Circuit)

This is a great little home theatre or arcade sound system amplifier, easy to wire up , multiple sound controls to dial in the sound you want. There are also multiple inputs such as 3.5 mm aux cable, rca inputs, Bluetooth, sd card , and USB device. It's not super powerful but for the money it does the job.

This thing is back-feeding voltage through remote turn-on lead after shutdown.Preface: I purchased this amp to install in my truck to run a small center speaker for better sound stage (low wattage maybe 20 watts at most). This would have been a fine application for a good cheap little A/B amp.Took me couple days (in my spare time) to track down a mysterious symptom after install. Once in a while when I would turn the key off and exit the truck, my whole system would intermittently stay on. The head unit, and 3 other amps in my system would run for about 20 seconds after removing the key... then, they would begin to cycle on and off (sometimes rapidly) for minutes or hours... and the instrument cluster would chime at me as if the key was still in the ignition. I thought for a while I had a bad ignition switch... nope...After much trial and error, turns out this stupid amp is back-feeding voltage into the remote turn-on lead after shut down! I figured it out finally by manually unplugging this amp in the middle of one of its tantrums. I then verified with a meter. Sure enough, it is back-feeding enough power to actually keep itself and everything else attached to it alive! I deem this to be completely unacceptable. I'm returning to amazon for a refund immediately.

Use this in random with a Kicker line level adapter to add the factory sub to my car. The woofer isn’t rated for much more than the rating for a single channel on this amp, so i get ample power out of it for my use case. The low pass filter also works exceptionally well. It’s a bit larger than a bar of soap in size so it was very easy to install it in the same area the factory amp would have been located. It sounds good, runs cool, and does exactly what i want it to for $30.

People tend to want over-kill when buying stereo components (especially men). We over-think the situation, do the math in our head, analyze the specs and then waste our money to get 10X more than we need. Unless you're building a competition sound system, this unit has plenty of power and doesn't waste your money.I used this amp to transition/convert the RCA sub woofers outputs jacks on the back of my stereo to speaker wires to hook up my sub woofers. You can buy non-amp connectors to make the conversion but they cost about the same. My system sounds great and loud. I'm glad I didn't spend a lot more for more amps than I need.Pros:Plenty of powerGreat priceCompact size easy to hideEasy hookupCons:Can't think of any

I hooked the amp up to a single BOSS 120 Watt 4 x 10" mounted in the blank center speaker hole in my 85' Grand Prix. I used the low level front channel from my after market radio to run into the amp. I'm happy with the mix the amp makes from the L/R channels and it puts out plenty of quality sound in the full frequency range. I have the sensitivity turned way down and I feel that there is more potential than my speaker can match right now. The amp size is perfect for squeezing in behind the dash for a factory look. It will get a little warm so give it some room to breathe. I couldn't be happier with the sound for the ultra low cost of the install.

1 star for the price.1 star for the fact that it can drive a set of 6x8s.. almost as well as my Pioneer deck. In spite of that, I gave it a star because I can definitely see where I might find this small amp useful.I bought this to complete the setup for my truck. My Pioneer deck is 4x50w peak, 22 watts per channel RMS driving the factory 6x8 speakers. I added a cheap $89 12" Kicker subwoofer rated for 150w RMS/300w peak @ 4 ohm. I was just needing a small, cheap amp with LPF to drive that. I connected this BOSS 100w amp using the RCA connectors. At about 1/2 volume from my deck, my sub experienced distortion. At full power from the deck you would think that I had a blown voice coil. I initially had my doubts since the subwoofer was as cheap as you can get a Kicker 12" to be.. but I pulled my 800w Pioneer amp from my car to test, and boom! Great bass from the cheap sub. Now I'm just pissed at myself because I mounted this BOSS amp onto my enclosure without testing it first.I tested this amp on my factory speakers (rear). They sound about the same as my fronts, which were driven by my deck. Issues start when you get to the upper end of the volume range, where the speakers driven by the BOSS amp start getting distortion while the speakers driven by the deck continue to perform well. This makes me doubt that this amp is 100 watts, even if that number was peak instead of RMS. Each channel on this BOSS amp is probably less than the 22 watts RMS that my Pioneer deck can do.Where I can see this amp being useful is maybe in a smaller ice house or mobile home, used to amplify an iPhone or other small gadget out to a pair of 6x9 or bookshelf speakers. Definitely not for driving a subwoofer.
