    If you want a cheap arse amp that is less likely to blow up, give the Jaycar/Response amps a look.

    Why would you waste your money on any Boss gear? Instead of wasting money buying amp after amp, go out and buy a semi-decent one.

    If you spend $50 on an amp, you're getting your moneys worth. If you spend $300, you will get your moneys worth.

    lol exactly. Why bother with boss if you know they have a unique reputation of blowing up or catching on fire.

    had to laugh at the title of this thread. honestly mate, cut your losses and move onto something with a bit better reputation. it will be a good day when budget installers and first time users opt for jaycar instead of boss
