Bring power your vehicles Bass with the Boss Audio Armor AR1500M Class A/B Monoblock Amplifier and the KIT2 8 Gauge amplifier wiring installation kit. With 1500 Watts Max Power and MOSFET power supply, this amplifier offers high performance for more Bass. Customize the sound with Variable Low Pass Crossover, Bass Boost, and Remote Subwoofer Control
Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors quickly switch from full to non-conduction for high-efficiency output.
Our Class-A/B amplifiers feature specific linear circuitry that increases sound quality and power output while reducing distortion and improving efficiency.
2-Ohm stable comfortably powers speakers or subwoofers when in use at 2-Ohms, resulting in more power and volume.
High-level inputs accept speaker output signals and low-level inputs accept pre-amp output signals to allow for the addition of amps and processors to standard factory or aftermarket source units.
Variable low-pass filter gives you control over the frequencies that pass through to the subwoofer.
Switchable Bass Boost allows you to boost the low bass +18db.
A wired remote lets you easily control the subwoofer level for customized output and superior sound.
The Variable Input Control allows the amplifier input to match the output signal from the head unit to achieve optimum performance when adjusted properly.
Fuses protect BOTH the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from faulty conditions.
If you must replace a fuse on the amplifier, always use a fuse of exactly the same type and rating of the one you are replacing. A different type of fuse or rating may result in damage or cause a fire. Please refer to your owners manual for reference on fuse size and type.
If you plan on using multiple amplifiers in your system, be certain that you have the appropriately sized gauge wire to accommodate the current demands for all amplifiers and that the wire is fused correctly at the battery. Connect an empty fuse holder within 18" (45 cm) of the car battery and run a 4 gauge (or heavier) cable from this fuse to the amplifier location. A fused distribution block is recommended when using several amplifiers or accessories.
When installing all Boss Audio Systems amplifiers, it is important to use the MAXIMUM gauge of wire that the power terminals will accommodate. For instance, if an amplifier has 4 gauge power and ground terminals, use high quality 4 gauge multi-strand copper wire to make your power connections. This maximizes the amplifiers ability to draw the required power upon demand. This also helps prevent overheating that could cause failure. ALWAYS make sure your vehicles electrical system is capable of handling the current demands from any after-market accessory.
Please refer to the amplifiers owners manual for correct wire gauge sizes.
Proper grounding is essential for any electric accessory in a vehicle.
Some key points to remember: Keep the ground as short as possible. Connect the amplifiers power ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the car. Keep this ground wire to less than 39" (100 cm) in length. Use 4 gauge (or heavier) wire. Scrape any paint away, use a star washer to bite into the metal and secure it tightly using a grounding lug.
Any steps that arent followed properly will result in a higher resistance at the ground point, causing unnecessary heat, high current draw, and potentially damaging the electrical accessories in the vehicle.
The Gain or Input Sensitivity selectors on an amplifier are not to be mistaken for a volume setting. This setting allows users to match the gain from the source unit.
To set these selectors properly, you must defeat any processing on your source unit. In other words, make sure Bass, Treble, and Subwoofer levels are set to 0 on your source unit before adjusting the gain or input sensitivity selector on your amplifier.
