I run a small customizing biz.  Just wondering if anyone is using Boss products and if any good.

Very entry level, the kind of stuff you sell to that kid with $50 in his pocket and demands sound, TODAY!  The amp specs are about 4 times too high so you gota keep your eyes on that too.

Im not one to disagree Anyone Using Boss Audio? -- posted image., but one of the local shops in my last place of residents sold it and had nothing but trouble with it. Complete and udder trash was a line I heard come from their mouths every time I talked to them. They made a sub called 2loud and they had good luck with that line of gear but the amps failed on a regular basis. I have good working relationships with the guys that work there and have worked with a couple of ex employees from there and they all say the same thing, not to touch it with a ten foot pole. As for personal experience, I owned one of the 2 loud subs and it worked fine for an entry level driver but I had to put it in a custom ported box because in a basic sealed box it sucked. And people might say that you are always gonna get better results out of a ported box and I agree but the people that buy this gear are generally gonna buy the 60 dollar sealed box to go with it not the 2 hundred dollar box built to spec for the sub. I also owned a pair of speakers and at the price they were sold for I could have done much better.

I've never owned any Boss equipment but I've heard lots of it. I'd say its on the bottom half of the list,  IMO.

it's on the bottom 1/10th of the bottom 1/2 of the list.....   low end trash for low end customers...

does it fill a niche? yes          would i ever sell it in my shop? no!           i prefer to just refer them directly to Wal-Mart....

I picked an amp/speaker wiring kit from them it was trash.   One of the posts (positive terminal) broke off when unplugging them from the head unit. I still use the power wire though, it's a little harder to screw that up.
