Click to enlarge. |  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. What's in the Box

 Easy to install, easy to adjust, easy to enjoy. May 26, 2010

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.
All I have to say is wow May 19, 2010

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.
Great subwoofer for the size and price. I recommend for all July 12, 2010

First of all.. Let me say that this sub woofer will not blow your windows out.
That being said if your looking for a sub that does that... you should be looking at something bigger.
For every one else that just wants to hear and feel some bass this sub is perfect, especially if you do not have that much space. Trust me this sub is a space saver. i have a Pontiac Fiero and those things are pretty much the definition of small lol.
Anyway this sub looks pretty, has a nice glossy black finish and works well out of the box. although you will probably have to tweak with it a little bit to get the desired sound but its worth it.
 Excellent solution for those with little space May 17, 2010

Just had my local sound shop install the Boss Bass1500 behind the passenger seat of my '99 Miata. They'd put in an Alpine deck and amp powering Boston Acoustics separates, 6.5" mid-bass and 1" soft-dome tweeter, which sounded terrific but lacked low-end grunt. The Boss unit was the perfect solution -- didn't take up very much room in what is a tiny car, and while it won't rattle your fillings the bass fill is just what I was searching for. Two caveats: Reviews for the previous model, the Bass1200, show that quite a few go bad. That is likely attributable to a) incorrect or improper installation -- most likely a power source other than straight from the battery or poor grounding -- and/or b) people pushing the unit too far, so that the amp clips and dies. Run juice straight from the battery and don't push the output so hard, and this heavy, solid-feeling unit should last quite some time. Better yet, if you want even more bass and have room under your seats but don't want a big sub box in your cabin (SUVs) or trunk, buy two, one under each seat, and you'll be slammin'! All in all, an excellent solution to what I needed.
Great bass squeezed under the seat. June 21, 2010

The BASS1500 has been in my Civic for a week now, and so far I agree with all of the other positive reviews. It is a great enhancement to the stock sound system. It really fills in the low end of the sound spectrum. It does thump, but it won't make your ears bleed. For me, it is plenty enough bass to be enjoyable. For others it may not be enough bass, but these people probably already have 15's in the trunk.
Here are some other related comments...
- Everyone who has heard it has been impressed.
- I used a 6-gauge wire, and found that it was a tight fit with the terminal block on the sub. So, a 4-gauge wire would probably be over-sized.
- To fit under the front seat of a 2000 Honda Civic hatch some modification is required. The bottom of the seat consists of a piece of curved thin sheet metal that the seat foam sits on. The modification is simply done with a mallet. However, don't flatten it too much or it will compress the seat foam too much, and you will probably feel it when sitting on it. Once installed, it is well hidden under the seat, but it is long enough that part of it sticks out into the rear foot well. So, to keep it from getting stepped on or kicked, some kind of cover is needed.
- When in operation, the unit does get very warm.
- A pair of these, with one tuned for deep bass and the other for low/mid bass, would be thunderous!
- I have my hopes up that it will last for a while.
