Boss Ch650 and crunch 175.4.

CRUNCH

As u can see the capacitors and power supply on the cruch bigger.
not mcuh ppl kno about crunch, they always ask if it better,
so i took some pics of the inside to compare

^^^^a bigger part doesnot necessarily means it's better, they could be of the same rating.

yea but the capacitors were not the same rating.

the best test for them would be to measure their output on identical charging systems & speakers... you can't really base their performance on how it looks inside..

demboyzaudio, got a clamp on meter and a DMM?? Wink

my personal experience with boss.. is that it works great for the money (that was when i bought mine, now is a different story).. never experienced any problems with the amp i had either..

downside is that they are overated.. i never did any testing to see exactly how true to their ratings they are, but my pops 200Wrms Premier amp used to give my 600Wrms Boss a good run for the money...

well is hifonics...wat u expect..u cant compare crunch wit boss..plenty pple now bout crunch..but it still more expensive...so if u really restricted boss wud be in ur budget..but crunch is still a better amp

demboyzaudio · Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 10:59 pm Post subject:

well when u look at it the price difference isnt that much.
unless boss really get cheap cheap.
wats the pirce ona boss amp now, any boss amp jus say power rating.

^^ karti sells the 1800.4 for 1230....

alot of people base it on whats inside.
and alot of ppl like to see whats inside, so i posted it for that purpose an also to show the build is better,
but u all make sense.

thats the purpose of the ice forum to learn more about these things.
