The Boston is rated for slightly more power and is a good bit cheaper.

The Polk is stable to 1 ohm on the sub channel and a bit smaller.

If you dont need 1 ohm stability on the sub channel, and have the space, go Boston; if u need 1 ohm stability and have the extra cash, go Polk.

Is the 1 ohm the put more strain on the amp and the boston being a ab/d hybrid worse than a class d only . Also size dosnt matter really cause it mounts to the back seat but is the polk better brand or is that amp better for being a class d

Not really... In short class D is more efficient but A/B will have better SQ...

Just because one company makes different brand products doesn't make them all bad... just like appliances for the home.. whirlpool, GE, etc.. have many other sub-companies that they sell the same product just under a different name some are good some are bad.. same goes with car audio eq

Maybe a couple bucks but not alot to deal with online shipping etc i also like to support my local guys. The polk i havent seen cheaper tho and it can handle a one ohm load but i really dont know its so tuff
