CE1250M | Boss Audio Systems

Ok so i got my info wrong. however, i was not asking advice on buying a new amp, i was simply wanting info on where and how people have mounted their amps. yall simply go for the whole, buy a new amp line all to often and its farking annoying.

Tis a Boss CE1250M running 2x 600W subs in a twin enclosure. Ive just been out and checked.not asking opinion on quality of amps or any of that, just simply best place to mount.....

Your question was answered before you became rude.

The common opinion of buying a new amp was because it'd be the most effective solution.

You were also told to mount it with fins up to help cool it, to try fans as it will delay the overheating which was also repeated further down the thread and to try under the seat aiming AC at it. What else do you want us to tell you? :unsure: There's no secret solution.

Your amp is rated at 375Wrms at 4 ohm but only has a 30A fuse which indicates that it would only make about 270W before hitting it's peak. What are your subs? Model? Power rating? Resistance? I have a feeling you're just running your amp very hard as first thought.

I've highlighted the helpful information so you don't miss it again :thumbsup:

FML... now i remember why i walked away from the thread. I do not run my subs hard, i have minimal gain and all tuning is done thru my HU.

Ya know what, powers that be, please close this thread because there is nothing useful coming out of it.

No one said you run your subs hard. What are you reading? :hmmm:

Subs aren't that efficient, 2 subs could easily be using up that whole 270W from the amp without it sounding like you're running anything hard.

well there ya answer boss is junk ebay crap , I only use high end pioneer and Kenwood amps , mine have always been installed below the parcel shelf in the boot , never had a problem. Like the old saying goes , get what ya pay for.

so there for it doesn't matter that much ware ya mount it , that's why we all say get a amp that can handle your subs accordant , and always go that little bit more than you need , so then you never have to upgrade latter on.:beer chug:

Kenwood makes good amps and Pioneer all the way for head units. Im running a 900 rms kenwood Kac 9105D it's got a fan built in it. Powering my SVC 4 ohm 400 rms Pioneer sub wired at 4 ohms putting out 500 rms, doesn't even get warm =). We will soon see how good the amp is when i wire my 1000 rms 2 ohm Pioneer 12 at 1 ohm and see if i can get it warm =)

[Ignore the following as the amp is 1 ohm stable ]

The Kenwood will probably get very hot or fail as it's designed to run down to only 2 ohm. Running a 1 ohm load from that amp will be drawing a lot more power than it was meant to.

Two of the 400Wrms SVC Pioneers in parallel would be much better suited to that amp.

Dunno if you are still interested in ideas OP, one other thing is to make sure the amp isn't mounted flush as in you mount it on something that raises it even a small amount so you get air flowing around the amp.

running at minimum gain rather than setting up properly could cause issues as when at high volume the input signal could be clipping
