Sony Xplod 1000 Watt 2/1 Channel
Strength:
hits really hard when speakers set to 2/1 ohms
Weakness:
gets hot but with a fan mod it will stay cool had this amp for many years and had to rebuild it twice, even though i did it still hits harder then ever. with 2 kicker compvr 12", it makes my vehicle sound awesome and it has blown 2 sealed boxes without going past volume 8. |

Strength:
Great price, awsome power
Weakness:
none This amplifier puts alot of power to the subs. I have two MTX 15" 6000 series subs and they sound great. I would highly recomend this amp to anyone. I agree with every one else it does get hot, but i have never had any problems. Similar Products Used: 800 watt pioneer, not near as good. |

Strength:
Looks cool, has enough power for most people,great for the price
Weakness:
gets really hot when running high rms subs, almost hot enough to burn your hand. I have had this amp for about 2 months and it has been great to me. i have it on 2 12" Logic SoundLab subs rated at 1000rms 2000max and they really pound. i have just upgraded to a kicker zr600 due to the fact that my subs could take alot more and that my sister wanted my amp. now the sony isnt no Kicker but for 125$ it is a great deal. Similar Products Used: Legacy,Pyle,JBL,Alpine,Kicker-> (the best so far) |

Everything
Weakness:
none 144.8dbs! Using only 1 of these amps for my setup. Head unit is a Panasonic CQ-DFX302U cdplayer, Audio Control Epicenter, Audio Control EQL Concert Series, Tsunami 4G. wiring, 150A-anl fuse, Lighting Audio 1F. cap, Sony XM2165GTX Amp, and then 2 12" JLAudio W3v2 8ohm subs in a 1.5 cubic ft./per sealed box in a 2001 VW Jetta. First place in local comp. This amp never heats up even after 4hrs of cruising at South Padre Island Spring Break '04. I really recommend this amp to anyone on a budget. I love it! |

Strength:
Clear and powerful bass! Esp. for the price! Neat and functional design.
Weakness:
Gets Hot! (hasn't overheated though) People can talk all they want about Sony, but this amp is great! I get clear and powerful bass with no problems! This amp puts out 400W RMS (1000W Max) briged! It has no problem powering my Audiobahn 12" (AW121T) Sub (550 RMS, 1100Max). |

Powerful for the price, cool looks, functional heatsink
Weakness:
Heats up, getting sh*t from people for using a sony This amp is really not bad for the price. I have heard things from my friends saying sony is bad, blah blah. This amp is great. 165watts rms in 4-ohm mode for 200 bucks is such a deal at the 200 dollar price range. Highest RMS at this price. I am pushing two Infinity Kappa 120.3se's in a ported q-logic box. No Complaints at all. I do not even have the bass turned all the way up and it hits extremely hard. |
