Works as expected.
Great little amp. Saved my factory sub when I installed an aftermarket head unit. When you don't need/want much this is perfect.

Not good
Don't waste your money. The only sounds that come through this amp is a humming sound. I bought this to push tweeters separate from my big amplifier that pushes my subwoofer

Alot of bang for your buck.
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.

So far so good.
I had a factory sub for a 2011 Honda CRV and the OEM amp is very small. This is the only amp I could find that would fit in the available slot on the sub. This with a slight mod worked well. First off after trying 2 of these amps the high inputs do not work at all, they should be deleted from this amp since they are useless. The RCA's do work well though. Just be aware you will need a Input converter if using a factory deck. The PAC input converter works very well. Another thing about this amp when the power goes on or off there is a thump sound from the sub. Its not too bad but it is noticable and it was supposed to have a soft on and off so another unexpected issue. I also noticed if you do not use the remote on/off orange cable the amp senses the inputs and turn the amp on and off. I wish the timeout for this was longer, the delay is only 1 second or something so the amp can go on/off alot if a song has no bass for a few seconds which is annoying. If the delay was 5 seconds it would be much better for some songs and between songs. Most the time it is fine though. If you use the remote wire it stays on with the car even if the radio is off, which is not too bad but wastes power and heats the amp all the time. I am still deciding which way to use it. I wish the auto on/off was a little better but works well enough. Nice amp so far even at 2 ohms, will see how long it lasts. It was getting pretty hot but has not overheated yet on the first day.Update: So the amp stopped working today. It has been installed for 45 days and was working ok until today. The "soft" power on and off always popped on power cycle since day one, so not very soft. The amp would sometimes turn off mid song, not sure why and then come back on again. Today it was just dead, no sound and cold but the power led was lit. All connections are good, it just doesn't want to work anymore. Nice. The return policy is garbage. It will cost me the same to buy a new amp vs getting Boss to repair mine. Amp is pretty much disposible. Beware.Update: So the problem was only the fuse. I added a fuse holder so I could swap them easier in the future. We are back in business. I have updated my rating.

Great little amp
Got this to replace an amp in an RV entertainment system. From the photos it looked similar to my original one that died. Sure enough it was almost identical in size and connections making it easy to install. It was less wattage than the original, so I was worried about volume, but it has enough power to be hear over a very loud air conditioner and sounds nice and clean. Very happy so far.

Nowhere near 100w advertised power. Might have its uses in some situations.
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.
