No, not at all... I was happy with the setup, I just had a couple opportunities I couldnt pass up. I switched out my amps to JL's, I got a 3004/v2 and a 500/1v2. I originally wanted JL amps when I started this whole thing, but they were a little above my budget. 2 weeks ago I was in a shop of a JL dealer, he had three 300/4v2's that were brand new but taken out of the box for someone to buy. In the end the guy couldnt afford the 3 amps so they put them back in the box and they had to sell them as open box. I got the 300/4v2 brand new for $300 with a full JL 2 year warranty...... I couldnt let that slip thru my hands.
My Boston Pro 60's sounded really really good on my Alpine F550, but like most Boston's, the highs were just a tad too bright for me. The mid bass was right on target and overall they sounded amazing, just a bit too bright but some people like that. The Pro 60 is an awesome component set, I highly recommend them.
I replaced my Boston Pro 60's with a set of 6.5" Rainbow Germaniums. The Germs have a silk tweeter (CAL 25) and they are supposed to be buttery smooth. I needed something a little warmer and accurate, the from all of the reviews I've read the Germs are supposed to be an amazing set of components. I'll be running them off my JL 300/4v2 and bridging them for 150w each. The rears are going to be running off the head unit.
If you have a chance at a V series amp I can attest they are great amps.
