A powerful amplifier for a great price. Capable of 1100 Watts @ 2 Ohms into one channel, or a max power output of 550 Watts @ 4 Ohms into one channel.

Subwoofers

Boss Audio CXX12

1000 Watts of car banging bass. The CXX12 is a 12 inch 4 OHm sub with a Sensitivity of 85 dBs. Reviews on this woofer stress breaking it in properly. This includes a 3-year warranty. Subwoofers are going to take the most physical beating of any component in an audio system because of how they’re used, so the warranty is a great vote of confidence from Boss Audio and it extends through all their woofers. 

It has a 4-inch diameter and comes with all the mounting hardware needed. For the quality and price, it’s a nice deal. 

Boss Audio CX122

Not to be confused with the CXX12, the CX122 offers 1400 watts of power.  This comes with a 3-year warranty and a single 4 Ohm Voice coil. Rubber compliments the metal to give it a solid enclosure. 

Besides being one of the strongest subs you can buy, it looks cool and has the weight of a part that inspires confidence along with their warranty. But the price blew us away, you get something super loud for super cheap. Just make sure you break in this woofer properly, it can take a little while. 

Boss Audio P129DC

Capable of 2600 Watts, this Boss Audio P129DC is the big boy in this category. You can become that guy that rolls down the street and irritates soccer moms once you have a few of these crankin’. It has a poly composite housing and you’re gonna need a decent amplifier to feed it that delicious electricity it will require. 

The 3-year warranty helps in case you blow this thing out. It’s double the price of previous options but double the power as well. The housing is well built including double stitching between the cone and the surrounding casing. Over 5″ of mounting depth required, so you’re going to need to find a nice cave for this guy to go in. 

Bluetooth Car Stereos

Boss Audio 508UAB

The Boss Audio 508UAB is a Bluetooth enabled stereo. So you can make calls during your travels with just one button. It has a CD drive as well if you can find one of those in the wild still. This is their flagship of budget receivers. If you want something that works that doesn’t break the bank and has Bluetooth – you’re going to be hard pressed to find anything at a better price than this. 

There is an AUX input, USB input, and a wireless remote control. You might want to buy an amp to pair, but it’s capable of giving 50 Watts to 4 channels for a total of 200 Watts by itself. Three year warranty included. Great value for the price. 

Boss Audio BVCP9675A

From one end of the spectrum ot the next. This BVCP9675A receiver is the high end offering from Boss Audio in Bluetooth receivers. This nice little touchscreen is pleasant to look at, and functional. Phone calls, music, messaging and getting directions are all possible straight from the screen. 

We don’t like that it doesn’t have a CD/DVD input. But, maybe we’re just cranky. This is geared towards being able to navigate during your trip. You can charge your usb items with this, it is capable of outputting power. 

Comes with four inputs: USB, Rear Camera, AUX and Steering Wheel control. If you want to have a rear camera to help you with crazy drivers these days you’re set with the rear camera hookup. It has a 3-year warranty to back it up.
