What's your guys' take on Boss and Pyramid amps?

I know they're cheap brands and can't compare with

top name brands, but I'm curious about these. Besides

saying that they are crap and are cheap, I'd like to hear some

opinions about these:

Boss Audio R1100M mosfet mono amp

Boss AR1500M Armor Mono amp

Pyramid PB2518 MOSFET Amp

Pyramid PB1217X MOSFET Arctic series amp

..anyone know anything about these?

????

How much power are you wanting to run?

I would just cruise ebay or the classifieds on here and find a better quality amp.Amplifier Punch 401s | eBay

Well the subs I got can handle 380 rms each so yeah.

Before you ask, I got two 12s Sony Xplods. If that doesn't

scream budget system idk what does lol. But hey, I just want

Something to start me off for my first sound system.

Haha I know how that feels I'm a full time student with a full time job.

If you're looking for budget, then it's best to find stuff used.

I would even go Craigslist and test them myself when you meet them in person.

I found great deals in Craigslist, but you have to be careful.

^This.

I almost forgot about the blowout sale.

If you can still return the subs for a refund I would return them and get 2 Strato 12" D4 and 800.1 for the amp.

Wire the subs down to 1 ohm.

That will be a cheap and pretty dxmn good set up.

Here's a demo of 4 of those 12s.
