I'd like to test an old mantra...

I say go for it because that would be an interesting experiment. Although it is not quite as sick as the multiple Funky Pups setup, you are only out $500, which doesn't get you very far this day and age.

I was always told that Boss intentionally under biases their amplifiers to keep their end users from ruining them. If that is true, I would hate to see how crappy they sound.

 
Theres a few of the boss amps that will put out a decent bit of power if you get the right ones. Honestly, out of the crap brands. I'd consider boss better than legacy/pyramid. While the layout of their boards isnt as nice and clean as it could be, some of them are definitely capable of a little bit of power. They aren't overrated nearly as much and legacy, pyramid, phoenix digital... etc. As far as SQ of their speakers... I have no clue.

If I had to try to do a build like this, I'd do an all profile build. Very inexpensive and still decent quality stuff really. AP2000 is almost 1krms and its 170 brand new and warrantied, durability is very very solid on profile amps. $85 BNIB 80x4@4ohms and 125x4@2 ohms on their 4 channel. As far as cheap brands, you just cant beat that.

 
Yeah, I've used a few Profile amps, and they've all been solid for what I paid for them.

I'd do Boss because they've got a full line of equipment. And I consider them to be a bit worse off than Profile. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
I think I'll just end up using a Kenwood DNX 7120 as the hu... Don't wanna waste money on a Boss HU I'll probably hate. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the system was somewhat bearable, though.

 
I say go for it. I'll have to agree with bass warior on majority of the sound is install. If you don't like the way it sounds, sell it to some highschool kid who won't know any better for 500 bucks.

 
The thing I'd be most worried about is getting good sound out of the fronts. Something tells me they'd be pretty hollow and cheap sounding. Little midbass and low power handling. Maybe I'll find out here soon
