Now that i'm doing the research (I bought the speakers on impulse) Every Kenwood and Sony 6.5" components i see is inferior to these(Best i found was 70watts RMS) Made with the same materials as this Boss. Just because a company doesn't make good everything( For Example A Boss Amp someone stated before that sucked ***) Does not justify stereotyping Boss Products. As far as I know (Someone proove me wrong here) These speakers are better and cost me less than some more expensive and inferior Kenwood and Sony Namebrand Speakers. If you wanna resort to "You get what you pay for", Most of the times when buying a Namebrand Product the Price of advertising( What makes them a reputable namebrand)Is reflected in the cost of a product. So in other words if boss and Kenwood were to make the same exact speaker which one do you think would be more expensive? 1

 

On second thought, you are right. BOSS does make top of the line components. You really should stop telling people about it though. The last thing we need is this stuff getting out to the general public and then the prices of BOSS speakers would jump from $30/pair to industry average levels of $120/pair. WE DO NOT WANT THAT. Let's try to keep the prices low so only we can enjoy the best at these low,low,low prices.

I'll be picking some up this afternoon.

 

A simple comment from a simple man. I'm not proclaiming victory for these speakers, I'm trying to debate with people educated in these matters, people like JFanaselle, people that are mature and know how to carry a conversation, (Unlike ignorant people like you that waste space on the page with Posts that bring no information to the topic....Just ignornance )This little "Debate" us grownups are having about Boss Speakers is intented for information for people who frequent this forum. If someone says to me,those speakers suck,for $20 more you could have gotten a better pair, bet, If they really are inferior thank you for the info i'll look into it. But if you tell me, Oh all Boss Products are crap don't waste your money, (Based on sterotype and not information)THAT IS INGORANCE, AND PEOPLE DO NOT FREQUENT THIS FORUM FOR IGNORANCE SIR, THEY COME HERE TO LEARN.) If someone shows me right now that These Boss speakers are inferior and sweat shop status,than fine i would've shut the **** up a long time ago, but that is not the case. Go head Panther Es speak on it(Hows that new *** Hole feel? ).And next time you have something to say that benefits noone on this forum but yourself do yourself a favor and keep your mouth closed when grown folk talk. Sorry for the flames but it's people like you on this forum that take us backwards, not forwards in trying to learn and trade information on our Proteges.(You have no information so you decide to be sarcastic)1

 

First of all, You sound as if you have no idea what decent speakers sound like. I had a friend who would go to K-mart and buy speakers that they had on display because the specs were the same as the brand name speakers. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. I tried to tell you that they magnet on those speakers were small but you came back with the "now that i'm doing the research" bit. If you do any research, meaning going to anywere that you can listen to decent speakers you would know that the speakers you bought are crap! There is no debate about BOSS speakers. If they were any good, the wouldn't be $30. Simple. If the Protege was built to BMW standards, it wouldn't be a $18,000 car would it?

As far as the rest of your last post, it speaks largely who is mature! I will not go there. Think what you want.

 

 

wowzers....I didn't think this argument would get this big. I can say from looking at those speakers, they are definately the best boss audio product I've ever seen. In re-considering the facts, you probably didn't get too bad of a deal on them. They will suffice as a rear pair for sure. I don't even belive in rear speakers (throws off my imaging), just a ton of front ones. But there are a few pieces I noted about the picture that suprised me...for one, they used a suspended tweeter design as opposed to running a pole through the center of the woofer cone. This is typically a feature reserved for expensive speakers. Do they have a seperate input for the tweeter on the back of the speaker, or do the woofer and the tweeter share a common one. One other thing, if boss rated those things at 175 watts RMS, don't for one second believe that. They in reality probably can't handle more than 50 or so RMS without causing damage. If you feed them 175, they'll definately start sounding horrible in a matter of hours.

 

Down boy, down!! now i'm not being an *******, and neither is anyone else NOR INTENDS to be. i'm not ignorant, and i'm not a jerk... simple cut. NOW, just because a speaker says it needs a certain level of watts RMS doesn't mean jack ****, cause if you're running off a head unit, you're not going to get ANYWHERE near RMS wattage for your boss speakers. now, even if you amp them, which would be the only exception, you might not see 'great' sound, but decent sound to your ears. BOSS isn't a popular brand anybody on here would recommend for 2 reasons, 1) people rarely win SQ competitions on 'cheap' brands, such as BOSS, if they did, you would see people recommend them. 2) BOSS follows a similar style of engineering and advertising as 'knock off' brands, such as JDL, Rockwood USA, etc. ...something you would have to spend LESS than 100 bucks on regular price for a pair of components for. you WILL get what you pay for. you asked for an opionion, you got one and to top it off, you didn't like it and flipped out.. so there for my friend, YOU ARE THE *******! I ran a single Pioneer in my car, just to give it a test, just to see how much wattage it was actually capable of. it was rated at 140 Peak, 45 to 110 RMS. I ran the speakers with highs only for about 2 minutes with 50 watts of power... no problem, distorted a bit after half volume... ie, not ideal speaker for me. 100 watts... granted, still under MAX RMS rating... the speaker didn't last more than 20 seconds... infact, went up in smoke right afterwards. NOW, 175 watts rms you said? you'll never put NEARLY 175 watts to that speaker, NEVER... and if you do, it's not going to be longer than a minute. cause as i've seen, even retail brands such as pioneer (**** sony altogether, just ****** forget sony) are **** and falsely advertised. like he said, 375 watts at what? .000001 seconds? oh, and your small magnets... neodynium? it's an design engineered to have the same sound as a conventional speaker, at half or less the size of a conventional magnet. these magnets are not as strong, don't hit as hard.. so if you're buying components with these neodynium magnets, it's not gonna sound all that good if the engineering isn't that great... and by the most common opinioin available by MANY professional audio experts, BOSS isn't one of those companies. YOU DON'T GO TO WALMART TO BUILD A SOUND SYSTEM THAT WILL WILL PRAISE FROM YOUR FELLOW AUDIO HEADS, COMPETITIONS, OR RESPECT. thats how it simply cuts out, you're going to get what you pay for. i have pioneers in the front of my car, they aren't the BEST sounding, but with cross overs, it's perfect for me. my subs, rockford fosgate punch z's, they pound like hell, but they only sound what i paid for them, i know and i've seen the sound my system is capable of when i went out and bought a pair of alpine e10's... some of the best subs for the money i have personally tested. my rear speakers, bostons that retail for $175 dollars.. they're worth every cent i paid for them ($75 off of a friend who never used them) . i just bought some kenwood components off of here and was absolutely displeased with them.... so you see, it's all a matter of opinion. IF someone on here were to read that i thought Alpine E10's were some of the best subs i've ever heard in my car, they would probably say, well, "wait till you try eclipse subs, or JL subs, or infinity kappa's or something" now, i leave you with this, you wanted an opinion and you got it. now, if someone asks you what YOU think of BOSS speakers, tell them something good... stand up for brand that is not so well known, give them props, but you won't see me giving BOSS any respect ANY time soon, simple as that, MHO. like it, great, don't like it, **** you
peace out

 

I think it's funny that everyone has to bash my company (sony) without any concrete evedince of inferior products. In fact, our products are the best out there for the price, and thats why sony always has the best sales every year in every category (amps, subs, speakers, head units, etc) If you can give me a few good reasons why sony is crap (without the usual 'my friend had some xplod's and they sounded bad' or 'they blew out in a week') and we'll have a civilized debate.

 

demonvictus, i respect your opinion and take what you said as good information....but i didn't flip when panther es gave me an opinion..when he gave me his opinion (about the small magents) i respected that because it was valid input, but then he came out of his face in his next post with the sarcastic "Yeah Your RIght Let's All Go By Boss Products cuz there so good" Then i had to say something and to be honest with you guys, i really prefer the "other" board because people on this board don't know how to debate. We debate to get information, it's not arguing. And you missed my point completely, I couldnt give a **** if my rear speakers push out 22rms or 9000rms I don't give a **** about boss i'm not even an audiohead to be honest with you. I was simply debating the fact that many people on this board stereotype namebrands with no valid facts to back them up. I asked about boss speakers and most everyone told me they sucked just because they were Boss, and had no factual information. Panther Pointed out the smaller Magnet, but there are other factors involved besides the magnet. Demonvictus did break it down though, using factual information, not just saying "Boss Sucks I wouldn't pay 5$ for them because they are a knock off brand" So lastly i would like to say when asked information about a product let's use facts and help eachother make informed decisions instead of just saying Don't ever buy X Brand Because they make horrible speakers(And then Show no Proof What So ever) 1
