Has anyone had any good experience with these products or all bad?? A supplier told me that they move 3:1 amps of boss compaired to other brands and claimed they see very little return and everyone seems to like them.

Any info would be great! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

only experience I have with Boss are a pair of component speakers a buddy bought for $30, they sounded about as good as a pair of $30 speakers would sound

personally, I would be more comfortable with the entry level lines of the big names such as Pioneer, Kenwood, and dare I say it, even Sony

My first amp was a BOSS. I never had anything to complain about.

I had a little 6" sub by Boss.. it sucked... sounded awful and didn't hit low at all... I kno it was only a 6" but anything under 70 hz it wouldn't do.

I'm not pleased at all.

my first pair of subs were a pair of BOSS BW-10's... i had no complaints, and actually the spec sheet was VERY close to that of the Rockford "Punch" entry level 10's. at the time (5 or 6 years ago) they were good subs for the price IMO.

yea. for the day to day guy that doesn't care much about sonic integrity or sound quality, they are alright. However, I have had nothing but problems with their video product. Plenty of dead monitors out of the box, or shortly there after. Use with caution. Spend the extra money and get something worthwhile.

I'm not meaning to offend any Boss reps. Just giving my opinion overall
