I am powering a Cerwin Vega dual voice coil 15" woofer. This amp seems to do a good job. It tends to switch off if the volume is too high. My woofer has really been performing with this amp well. I think that I can do better though in order to achieve full results from the woofer.

plays hard, stays cool!!

okay maybe its cuz im only running one sub

after a year of driving my 1 10" rockford I gotta give it to this amp. I play pritty hard, and yea the sub blew out. Its funny because I mounted my amp on the back of my rear seat (integra) and even if im driving it hard for 2 hours, the amp is bearly warm. honestly my amp has never gotten too hot to touch. I used to have a Old school Rockfordfosgate punch 100 and even that got warm, but this sony has remained the best amp ive had so far! (had alpine v12, hiphonics, nakamichi, aphasonic)

Pushing my 2 10"s at 300W for the pair and they HIT!!! The design, how all the connections are at one end and can be covered with the silver trim. Looks nice and clean. The price I payed....have heard, last of the good Sony''s to date....the new solid unit''s aren''t as good.

Does get a bit warm in 2 ohm mode...but can be easily helped by keeping it a well ventilated area. Going to add a fan for heat exhaust and I''m not planning on trying the 600W x 1 (4 ohm) in Hi-Voltage only....

I bought this amp on blind faith. First of all, it was used but looks new. Only a few minor scratch''s. The guy at the shop showed me dealer cost because I tried to get the amp for like cheaper then the one hundred he was asking. Dealer cost for them was like 217+. All in all, I got my hundred out of it. I''m pushing 2 Sony 10" Xplod''s in Hi-Current mode at 2 ohm''s.

sound quality, 1/2 ohm stability

runs hot, not reliable, runs very hot!!

I have this amp running three audiobahn AW150 15's. It is running at about 1 ohm's and will burn the hell out of you if you touch it!! The place I bought it suggested that I buy a cooling fan for it. I put two radio shack cooling fans blowing across the heat sinkr and now it runns a little cooler. This amp just can't deliver the power I need. I still managed to hit a 144.9db at the local audio shop. This amp just can't cut it!
(I have had three of these amps. I am on the third one right now. The damn things keep blowing!!)

it's a good amp but compared to other high quality amps it's shi!

Awesome for the price i gotten it for. Able to push .5 ohms if i need to. Gets warm but what amps don't get warm?! Never shut off on me once.

None.

The price i payed for and the power it gives me, it's a great amp. Looks are great and the power rating are great too. Nice little knobs to mess around with when ur bored. Mobile ES, no worries. Pushing my 12" Jl w3d4.. some think i have two subs rattling in the trunk.

runs at 1/2 ohm

runs very hot (probably from its 1/2 ohm capabilities), clips out at higher volumes

after my dream stereo was stolen out of my car, i swore off car stereo for good. however, i recently bought a 00' cougar (very decent stock system) and decided that i need a little bass... i bought a single boston accoustic 10" and this sony amp (i normally wouldnt buy any sony product for my car other than a cd player, but this is the only amp flanner's carried that ran 1/2 ohm - which was required for the sub) the amp sounded and worked fine, although i noticed that it ran very hot and would clip out if i opened the stereo up at all. well, finally the amp took a crap and i had to send in to sony...takes 4-6 weeks..still waiting. it just stopped turning on. its not the first amp that i have ever had break on me, so i dont want to give this amp a low rating for this alone, but it will affect my somewhat low rating.
