I found a Boss Audio R1100M for only 50$ seems kind of cheap for an amp.. it is monoblockMOSFET Monoblock Power Amplifier

Remote Subwoofer Level Control Included

1000W x 1 Max Power

250W x 1 RMS Power

Good deal? Or is this a cheap amp that will blow?

Stay away from that amp..its not good quality, and very over rated/waste of your money

If you want a BOSS amp, you need to stick with the old school breed, not the new amps

The hifonics amp you posted is only 100watts, is that enough power? I offered him a deal.

I understand it is expensive, but i'm not trying to win any competitions, and the friends I hang out with don't know much about systems. So anything with a loud nice sounding bass would be good for me.

Thats what all you guys think when you see 100 watts/1000watts posted..you think that thats all it can do maxed,or thats what the power rating is on the amp.Not true, especially old school cheater amps,and this is a cheater amp..Its 100 watts min@4ohms @11.6v even under rated back then, but what you guys dont know, is what is a cheater,and what isnt.I have one of these exact amps in my collection, and have ran all the series of Hifonics up to x series,and these are the best ever made as well as the viii series by Hfonics.If its not enough power to run your subs, I would have recommended it.Ill put money on it, that your subs wont be able to handle the power that amp puts out @50%gain

View attachment 26538342View attachment 26538343View attachment 26538344 Well to think of it...that 44 would surpass that vulcan, but not much

They look so old that I wouldn't know how to hook em up. My friend says put the gain 1/8 of the way to the right or at 75% and that is deal for any amp.

The last ebay you posted, looks like 12 gage wire. I got 4 gauge, i been looking all over for a piece that i can put 4 gauge wire in and than y connect it to the amp. But o reillys, best buy, menards, sears, nobody has them.. well not at the right size.

Its 8 ga power and ground wire,speaker wire is 12 ga on the amp..I can send you a copy of the wiring connecting for either amp..or i can give you a call/text with pics of how to wire it up..no problem:santa:..just dont pass up an excellent amp for the money

I think your friend may need to do some reading up on setting gains on amps..not all amps are equal as well as any component,even the same made amp, all are/can be different.Im not trying to be hateful to your friend,its just facts
