Bang for your buck! These things are cheap as heck for the quality you get. and the visatility is unmeasureable
Weakness:
Makes me wanna slap some skateboard wheels on the bottom of the thing. Its a very large unit My amp came with the truck so the search wasn't that hard. Figured that I would grow tire of it and use it as scrap. I had this amp for over 3 years now and it still suprises me on what it can push! I had it set up @1ohm, 4 ohm, DVC DD, 4 Orion N/T, and a few other trial setups that the other guys amp wasn't pushing enough. Total suprised! I ended up getting a matching 4 channel to run my setup. For the price of the two, I'm suprised on the clearity and power it can muster up. It does warm up a touch but @1 ohm with 12vlts..... it just going to challenge any amp. the size of the unit will make up for the heat and push it away from the unit. I had this amp running 1ohm in the bed of my truck, cover over the bed, with Missouri heat wave, and it never skipped a beat for a 3 hour road trip would willingly recomend this amp to anyone. Never thought a Sony amp would hold up soo well Similar Products Used: Nothing on the top of my head |

Strength:
It is the best value,1/2 ohm stable, best used to power any subs, most people bridge a amp and sub to get more power, In this case you dont need to it produces enough power TRUST ME. comes with a built in FAN
Weakness:
It requires 14.4 volts to opperate correctly, as everone before says it gets hot, thats because they dont have 14.4 volts, thats a lot of power, more than most amps use, if amps dont get enough voltage then they tend to get very hot, mostly the size is the weaknesses almost perfect amp This sony amp is by far the best amp I have ever owned, when use correctly with care a the right voltage 14.4 volts its the toughest amp out, pheniox gold cant even come close to the amount of power this amp puts out for the money, by far the best amp for the dollar.It powers my 2 Rockford Fosgate HE2's like a thunder bolt in my camaro Similar Products Used: Rockford Fostgate amp cant remember the model about 170x 2 (rms), too much money not enough power |

clean, lots of adjustment (sorry audio pros, im 16 and to me this is good enough, i dont have a thousand bucks to waste on one amp to pump my old skool rap) looks cool in my hatchback with the bright red color
Weakness:
gets hot red color attracts vandalism i have this amp running 2 jl 12w3''s in a sealed box. this is the loudest and best setup i have heard to date, and im not just saying that because its mine. i live right near a big sony outlet and got this puppy brand new for 169.95. it runs my amp and gives it clean power and it does get hot, but dont most amps heat up???

POWER
Weakness:
size and it heats up very quickly when used in mono mode this amp has a lot of power for the price that you pay. i have three volfenhag 12 inch subs bridged into one channel of the amp and they are pounding very well. i plan to hook the subs up in dual mode and have them wired to both channels of the amp. Similar Products Used: i had a pyramid amp a long time ago and it doesn't compare to the power that this amp gives |

Strength:
Solid output at 1 and 2 ohm, cheap, durable
Weakness:
Pretty big (but it WAS easy to mount) Although its only rated to 350 x 2 at 2 ohm, mine seems to be pushing around 400 to 425 constant without any problem at all. Bottoms my 10" OverDrives like they were toys and its a damned good match for a couple PlanetAudio Vector15's. I run it pretty hard, and it's given me no problems at all. Never even overheated the thing. Similar Products Used: None |
