Title: If you install it right you'll love it!
Review: I bought the 3700 Boss 5 channel amp with a goal of a well balanced sound for all types of music. Not only did I hit this goal, but it's louder the I ever imagined. I have my Boss Amp hooked to two 6.5" 3 way 300 watt boss door speakers With tweeters in the front, two 6.5 two way speakers and tweeters in the back, and one 1100 watt 12" Pioneer Comp Sub in the cargo area in a 2004 Tahoe. I added a Capicitor mainly because I got it as a bonus. FYI, Before I had the capacitor installed I didn't have any issues with power. I am using 8 gauge power and ground wires, and 6 channel Stinger RCA cables. I did run into some engine noise at first, but then I found out you need to run RCA opposite side of power wire. Rookie mistake on my part. Once I changed my mistake by re running my RCA cable away from my power Line, all my interference noise stopped. when I read some of the bad reviews, I felt the problems people were having was due to improper installation. So far one month after my installation my intuition was correct, because I have yet to have any issues that wasn't corrected from me being a rookie. Matching your gains on all amplithfilers is very important for audio quality and Ampliphier performance. This is the main problem for all Ampliphiers not performing correctly and not lasting. There are Lots of helpful hints if you search How to tune your AMP on the internet. I'm guessing this could be some of the problems the lower reviewers guys could be having. This AMP gets plenty loud, and provides lots of power. When I run music at normal levels My AMP stays cool and runs fine. When you run it hard it does get warm but not to hot to touch and sound great. I installed this under my passenger seat in my 2004 Chevy Tahoe and it fits perfect. People with smaller cars pay attention to dimensions because this AMP is a monster. My friends were easily impressed by the sound and the cool look the way it lights up especially at night. I went expensive on an Apple Car play receiver and Boss really helped me out by giving me an affordable option to continue to add to my expensive receiver at a very affordable price. It's a no brainer if you're in the market for a dive loud system, just make sure it's installed correctly before writing a review. I made lots of mistakes but after researching my problems I got it performing like a Boss! The Phantom 3700 gives you plenty of options to achieve your goals and a great option for people with limited resources. Keep in mind when you're costing Ampliphiers out, the hardware such as wires cables conectors ect: can get very costly ontop of your equipment. I spent almost as much on hardware as I did on the Amp. Boss makes this less painful by giving you such a good deal from the start. I decided to spend less money on the Amp and more money on the correct wires and cables. Try it out, install it right and you'll Love it!

Title: Great for redoing an entire vehicle on a budget
Review: I used this amp to replace the entire Bose audio system in my 2014 Buick Lacrosse.It powers 4x JBL GTO609 speakers and 2 JL Audio 10' w3s with ease.I may add 2x more JBLs to the rear deck and wire them in parallel with the back doors. (it can do it with ease)Overall this amp is great for a budget build that wont break the bank.Cons:The post hole of the ground wire stripped easily, so be careful when tightening them down.Also this thing gets hot whether it is playing 1 speaker or 5.I highly suggest running a pc fan off the remote wire and keep it ventilated.The red LEDs can be off-putting if you dont stuff it in the trunk. (out of sight out of mind)

Title: Nice. Check your head unit before you say it doesn't work.
Review: Had a fright when I installed it, didn't work for all 4 channels. Discovered a loose RCA jack to my head unit. Then once that was solved all channels worked but any volume at all began a reverb. I adjusted the input gains and found the right level and it has been great since. Way more amp then I need in an extended cab truck, but now I only turn it up to 25% and am happy with the sound. Clean and crisp. I get some hiss if I switch to surround sound mode on my head unit, not sure why, but I rarely watch movies in my truck. So word to the wise, check your settings for HOW you are using it, 2 channel, 4 channel, 5 channel, High Power or Low Power inputs, full range or high pass/low pass filter. Mine came set for low pass, I switched to Full range 4 channel to match my head unit, adjusted the gain on the inputs, and even took it down a little farther after I got clear sound. I don't need to over drive the inputs since I have a WHOLE lot of amp in a truck.** Update, Still loving it. I wanted to use the 5th channel to power my Center Channel from my Head-Unit (since I already have a powered Boss 10 inch subwoofer attached to my Head Unit subwoofer channel), but when I tried, the 5th channel still puts out a lot of bass and you lose the center channel frequencies. I am trying to find a good fit for a 2 channel amp for the center channel and I will add another 10 inch subwoofer to the 5th channel. Just want to fill that hollow sound area in the center of the vehicle. I am thinking a smaller boss Phantom 2 channel 1100 watt amp will do what I need.Needless to say, it is already a LOT of sound in a Toyota Tundra cab! I don't need it up loud, it sounds fantastic.

Review: Buena relación calidad - precio, pues lo adquirà en promoción. Ãste amplificador aunque sea para 5 canales, lo usé en modo de 4 canales, (pues tengo un amplificador kenwood aparte dedicado para el subwoofer que está en la puerta de la cajuela de mi RAV4, que tuve que recalibrar para que este en armonÃa con el volumen general). Es lo suficientemente potente para mover el par de set de medios delantero Kicker de tweeter y woofer css654 (puertas delanteras), asà como 2 bocinas traseras DSC 654 (puertas traseras). Las bocinas y el set de medios son todas a 4 ohms. Es algo voluminoso, por lo que no cupo debajo de los asientos, asà que lo instalé de manera lateral atornillado en la pared de la cajuela, y es mejor porque quedó bien ventilado. Hay que tener en cuenta que se debe tener un buen fusible de 150 amperios y cable grueso de cobre del número 4 al menos para la alimentación, y terminales de cobre de buena calidad. Usé entradas de alta (No RCA), ya que mi estéreo solo tiene 2 pares de salidas RCA (un par para el subwoofer y otro par para bocinas delanteras solamente) en vez de las 3 que requeria (delanteras, traseras y subwoofer), lo cual me resultó práctico (aun asà implica usar más cable pues son 8 pares de cables , 4 pares de la salida del estereo y 4 pares hacia cada bocina), aunque solo lleva un ligero ruido de fondo a volúmenes elevados (contemplen que si su estereo es de 62 niveles de volumen, calibrenlo para que la amplificación sea máxima a los 30. El nivel de amplificación úsenlo solamente hasta 3/4 o poco más del máximo para no generar sobre calentamiento. La sensibilidad ponganla al máximo pero con cuidado. Hay que saber calibrar las salidas para no amplificarlo demasiado y que suene sin distorsión. Recomiendo insonorizar con dynamat las puertas en caso de que sus bocinas estén localizadas en dicha zona.Ah y muy importante. Al utilizar las entradas de alta con los plugs que vienen con el amplificador, es mejor dejar sin conectar la tierra fÃsica de dichos plug, pues genera demasiada interferencia.Si pueden aplicar cinta de cobre y posteriormente una capa de aislante sobre los cables que van y vienen de las bocinas y/o al estéreo, es mejor y evitan interferencia electromagnética del ruido del motor.Excelente amplificador para 4 canales (siendo de 5) si se sabe calibrar. No es para competencias pero brinda un sonido envidiable y potente. Apenas llevo una semana con él asà que no sé cuánto dure, pero hasta el momento sin problemas.

Review: Purchased this amp to replace my old legacy 4 channel amp that had been running my 2x12" Pheonix Gold Octane subs for a long time. Installed it and decided to also have it replace the amps I was using to power my front and rear channels. So far it has amazing power and clear sound. Will update I about a month and see how it holds up. But so far amazing sound and power for the money
