Man..I bet those things pound like your mom's head against the headboard.

You should really do your research before you brag about boss. Kicker makes decent stuff, but boss is pure garbage.

Yeah I'm not sure about that amp...

And that Directed amp only puts out 600 watts... I'm surprised the L7s moved...

well you can call anything garbage, hell, i can call garbage garbage...but if i can buy a 215.00 amp and it pushes my subs and sounds good, well i guess you can call that garbage, im the one driving my car so other peoples opinions about whats garbage doesnt really matter...its a custom box my buddy made for me...i know for a fact people have paid a whole hell of a lot more on audio equiptment than me and mine sounds a lot better than theirs...but theres probably people who spent less than me and sound better than mine, but in my experience i definately recomend both the amp and the subs i have.

Sounding good is not relative to how hard your L7's "pound."

anyone who says boss and kicker suck can come take a ride with me any day cuz these things pound.

1. Boss is garbage. I would only use it if it was free.

2. If you paid $215 for any boss amp, you got hosed big time.

3. You could have spent less and got better sound and more power.

4. Kicker L7's are not designed to sound good, they are designed to be loud.

5. L7's are also primarily designed for a ported enclosure, if yours is sealed, a properly designed ported box will make your subs much, much louder.

would you like to be talked to like this? I bet your reaction to someone doing it to you would be the same as mine and you wouldn't do it in front of me I promise(or leaving with your teeth). Why ya gotta be like that to a fellow stang member, over and over and over again? I know you have your opinions and love to let everyone know them but there is just no reason to be an azz about it mang.............. Lets give people constructive critisism where necessary but let them leave feeling better then when they came.

Boss is not the best, no the worst. Making big bass is not hard to do. keeping it reliable so it will last long is..... A car is a horrible place for electronics. The temp changes, the bouncing and rattling(IF it is mounted properly) as well as all the dust and dirt and that accumulatesand moisture is everything that you would NOT want on the list of "where to store or use electronics".

I started off buying the cheaper stuff and was happy with it for as long as it worked, which seemed to be about a year or shortly after the warrenty ran out. Over the years as an installer I hate to have my time wasted putting crap in someone elses car only to know that they will come back wondering why it didn't work, questioning the install BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA ya get my point? When it comes to the time I spend in my car that is priceless and with my do it right, do it once theory I do not mind shelling out the cash for equipment by the name of JL or phoenix gold(old stuff, not the new!) to get something that I know will be working 5 yrs from now, probably in 10 yrs........
