Bestest Amp Dual vs Pyle vs Boss vs Planet Audio

Older Crunch was ZED Audio made ...

As was old Boss and Planet Audio. Boss was always over-rated by a lot but solid... pretty much same boards as the US Acoustics/Alphasonic, he made some really nice stuff under Planet Audio name including the couple with the tube pre-amp section which are just plain smexy.

Funny thing is the boss amps of today are **** near bullet proof.

Get abused for years. End up at a pawn shop. Then get abused again for years.

The mid 90's Boss amps were pretty bullet proof too, the issue with that brand then and now is mainly over-rating their stuff 8X what it'll actually do.

I like barrel scraping for "junk" amps that are actually decent.

A few years ago I needed something cheap for my boat and found a 4 ch DHD on ebay for like $20.

It's Korean, has a pair of 15A fuses and has been killing a pair of bazooka 8" tower speakers for a few years now.

I'd like to find one of Pyle's full range class D's.
