Yeah it comes with exactly the same knobs, with that remote control that is connected via an RJ11 jack. Plus the velcro and the feet. I think Boss subcontracted out the manufacturer of the unit to a Chinese company, and they decided to sell some of their own on the side. Although, I cant...

Hi guys, I bought a compact under seat subwoofer for my car, which is getting installed later this week (among other gadgets). Its an 8 inch sub, pretty much identical to the Boss Bass600. Seriously, its a little creepy, it looks identical, even down to the switches and inputs. Only difference...
