- Is the 4000W rating real RMS power?
- No. Boss rates the AR4000D at 4000 watts peak, and the RMS figure is much lower. Expect a few hundred watts RMS at best, so match it to a subwoofer rated near that.
- Will it power two subwoofers?
- It is a single-channel monoblock, so you wire subs in parallel to one output. Check the final impedance stays within the amp's rated range, typically 1 to 4 ohms.
- Does it come with a bass knob?
- No remote bass knob is included. The amp has on-board bass boost and a low-pass filter you set at the amp.
- Can I use it in a boat?
- No. Boss does not rate this amp for marine use, so keep it in a car or other dry, ventilated spot.
- How does it compare with a name-brand monoblock?
- Name-brand amps usually publish honest RMS ratings and add subsonic filters and remote knobs. The Boss wins on cost, not on clean power or features.
- What wiring and fusing does it need?
- It needs a heavy-gauge power wire and an inline fuse sized to the amp's current draw. Use the fuse rating on the amp, not the peak wattage, to choose wire and fuse.
