Boon Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Open one up some time and check out the soldering... it's not flash. Flux everywhere, dodgy joints... I wonder if maybe they hand solder them using little chinese children? Most good amps use wave soldering and only hand solder the big bits... if it's good enough for the server motherboards at work it's good enough for my amps... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

bass_stalker Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 With amps... you get what you pay for... I'd increase your budget a bit. It'll pay off in the end. Sure you'll have to wait, but you won't be using a shitty amp... well if it wasnt going on a quad id spend more. but i dont wanna spend more than 100$ on an amp incase it breaks from vibraton or bumps.or the worst case that i roll my quad Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

But then again, a low quality amp will be more susceptible to vibrations and bumps causing damage internally. But, i'd honestly go with a Dual amp from walmart...the Xps i believe, is 400 watt,well not really but thats what they claim, and it's cheap. like 80 bucks i think... And i'd STILL take a walmart pos amp over Boss. I've had horrible experiences with boss. **edit that should say "eighty bucks" idk why it made a smiley.

Ford302Redneck Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'd like to know why you bought a boss amp my friends have had boss amps in the past and they worked pretty good. and i need a cheap amp so i figured it was better than getting a vr3 or a jensen. so i guess now i gotta get a dual when i get a refund. unless theres a good bridgeable amp i can get for like 50 or 60 I was gave a vr3 200 watt amp back in 2004 or so. Wasn't a terrible amp. Lifetime warranty. Buy a new one, take the old one back to Walmart. Get your money back. I ran mine at 2ohm Bridged, it never cut off, until it finally fried, then it was back to get another one. But these days, I'd rather save my money a little longer and get a quality amp.
