Can someone tell me if the BOSS line of amplifiers are any good? Are they all hype and no performance or do they rock? I'm in need of a 4 Channel amp, and I am on a budget, to replace a smaller amp that I currently have. I've been looking on E-bay and have found several possiblities, but know very little as to the quality of BOSS products. If anyone can enlighten me I would be very appreciative. Also, any recommendations out there are welcomed, but please remember that I am on a budget.

Regards,

Please let me add that I would love something in the 50 watts rms range, unless someone out there can recommend a 2 Channel Amp that can handle a 2 Ohm load (run all 4 of my speakers in parallel) that won't burn up on me.

Thanks!

Once again, anybody have any recommendations for a 2 Channel Amp that will operate well under a 2 OHM load (in stereo) for long periods of time? I will be running 4 speakers in parallel (JBL GTO635 & MB QUART DKC169). I need something that won't burn up on me.

Also, if someone can provide me an honest review of Planet Audio Amps I would appreciate it.

Regards,
