Apparently so.

I listened to Boston Acoustic Subs, didn't care for them. They didn't seem to sound as clean and their lowend was weaker. Then again, they were cheaper.

Don't remember the model I looked at. As for Boston Acoustics amps, why recommend them? You've had no experience with them (not many have, if they're not out).

I did a lot of research and JL Audio amps are highly regarded and are reliable. Plus, when listened to in person, sounded great.

I didn't try to deliberatley match manufacturer's, it just happened that way. The guy who I talked to had a 1998 Prelude with that system and he highly recommended it. :thumbup:
