junk.. junk.. junk... JUNNNNKKKKKKK!

i am not jumping on your case here, but why would u spend the mony on MOMO"s when you'regoing to run them off a BOSS amp?

you might as well burn your money or give it away because that amp will do one of two things - 1- sound so bad that you'll buy another one anyway - 2- put out such poor quality power that you either damage your speakers from underpowering them or giving them too much distortion.

Get a "real" amp -- they're not that much money---

For two momo momo's run an mtx 81000d / rockford bd 1000.1 / JL audio 1000.1 (nice amp but pricey as hell regulated power supply is peachy keen who) / alpine 1507 (be careful running 2 ohms off the bridge) / JBL 1200.1 (cheap but effective).

if you're going to run 1 momo -- mtx 8302 / JL 500.1 (does 500 x 4 ohms again due to regulated power supply.. least i think .. u shud check on it first) / coustic 300.2 (even though i'm no fan of them, they do carry that nice 3yr mitek warranty) / i'm not sure of the model but alpine makes an amp thats about 400 ish x 1 bridged into 4 ohms.

other good amp mfg's = MMats / Orion / Infinity Beta (old style) / even though I hate them Audiobahn isn't that bad / US Amps / Zapco (pricey but one of hte best amp mfg's in the world) / Harrison Labs (pricier than zapco).

try to find something with low THD (less than 1% for a class D - less than 0.3% bridged for a class AB) and that has a good rating at 13.8 volts (for one sub - 400 - 500 .. for two...900 - 1000) and/ or a decent 12.5 volt rating (1 sub - 350 / two 750 - 900)

dont fall prey to 14.4 volt ratings -- they're not all they're cracked up to be.. and god knows Boss probably tests their amps at 16 volts with three jet engine cooling fans and 4 blocks of dry ice on top of them with 1 note at 0.0001 ohms with a 20 volt preamp input and for 0.01 seconds.

((yes i'm exaggerating... or am i?))
