as far as BOSS amps, let me tell you a short story about a friend of mine.
A buddy of mine bought a pair of audiobahn flame series 12's in a bandpass box from someone he knows, and got an amp with it. He was having problems and asked me what i thought was wrong, he said the amp was made by bose. I didnt think much of it because ive never seen a bose amp at any store, so i knew it wasnt bose. Well he brought his truck over one day so i could troubleshoot it... looked at the amp and it said "BOSS". I literally reached over and slapped my friend across the face for confusing BOSE with BOSS. The amp was already fried, so i sold him my MRV-T757 alpine amp. Mind you this thing puts out like 80w per channel RMS. SO we hooked up his subs to it, and hes like "****, i cant believe that 750w amp is so much louder than my 1100 watt amp..." Hell, the subs even started bottoming out, and I laughed (cuz its audiobahn). So yeah, 3 days later the subs blew... on 75w. 400w rms my ***, audiobahn. Alpine>Audiobahn + BOSS.
