no the bostons will sound better than the massives, but the massives handle more power so they could get louder with a bigger amp. i dont know how massives are as far as their power rating but the ba's are underated on their power and sound awesome! Also the amp i suggest is a solid amp and well built . Its really a steal for the price. You would be hard pressed to find a better sq setup at this pricepoint unless you bought used , but then u have no warranty.
