And my friend recon BOSS audio amps are awesome, while another claims that a Kicker 12L7 is favourably comparable to an IDMAX.. hell another one even recons amps by USAudio are superior to Audison (thats the cheap USAudio not USAMPS).

Point - while i accept a person saying they prefer a type R, but anyone who says a "type r will eat" a boston G5 is quite simply a fool.. (no offence)

Doesnt matter about the cost? Of course it does! You can't compare a sub that is twice the price of the other... thats ridiculous, the G5 will be better for sure, but you would want it to be!

Um yeah you can.... that way when you upgrade subs you can say "so what is so great about this $600 sub compared to the $90 sub I picked up from supacheap?"


Edit: Oh and yeah thumbs up for the G5.

Ah Muzzy,

However, you are quite conveniently forgetting that I actually have the pimpmobile Camry!
And you do not have either.

Therefore I win this argument
