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  , 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. ------------- double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

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.... ------------- Kevin Gerry

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.
