[QUOTE="moniker, post: 8675281, member: 677072"] Thanks for the input peoples! Definitely getting the message, and understanding that the Boss is garbage. Store will only do credit, and they sell mostly household brands.. So going to put that towards my mids. My goal was to put something together for around $300 that would thump with at least 800rms. I researched the issues with the K9 subs, and figured they'd work alright if I kept it under their stated rms handling capability (k9 10 claims 800- give it 600, k9 12 says 1000, give it 800). [I]Edit: [/I]The last straw (and k9 review) for me; now lumping rockville in with boss: [MEDIA=youtube]HZjjolLP9Og[/MEDIA] [USER=562180]@Boomin_tahoe[/USER] Great idea.
