Default Boss Amps

does anyone here own a "Boss" amp? If so, is it any good? I'm looking to hook two up in my rex, because the are very cheap and look great. Please help, thanks.

one of the first amps i bought were Boss....that was way back when i didnt know any better.

if i were you i would go with another brand. if an amp is claiming 1000watts but is only using a 15A fuse on board....something gotta be wrong.

the JBL PowerValve Series are nice and cheap.

an amp that is giving out 1000 real watts is going to draw A LOT of power...the manufacter is not going to use a puny fuse like a 15A to protect it....somethings fishey.

yea....just dont buy it.

:nono: :nono: :nono: I don't think you'll like it when your amp shuts off when it gets hot. Get something that is a little more expensive like Kenwood,Rockford Fosgate,Alpine,MTX, or Phoenix Gold. You can get cheaper on Ebay.
