Great sound with the right head unit! Don't try it with a head unit not designed for amplifiers. The sound quality is greatly compromised.

Over heats on hot days or at high demands, + the over current fault is getting old.

I've owned this amp for a few years now and have recently had many over current faults on it. I have it used with a Blaupunkt Syracuse and one Sony xplode 10" sub. Love the Syracuse, but not so much the Sony amp. It's well beyond the warranty period and decided to look at it internally. What I found was that the power wires had either pulled on the connection to the curcuit board internally and separated the ground connection, or it simply overheated the connection and fryed it. I had to re-solder the connection to the curcuit board and it worked for a little while but now I'm having over current faults again. Maybe they just didn't design it with a good enough connection to the curcuit board???

Really good sound reproduction to 6x9's and satisfying rumble from the Sub.

This amp acts as a radiator!!!

I bought this amp and have yet to have any major difficulties with it.. I think it went into overcurrent once when i was installing it - and blew 2 fuses - but fixed that easy enough.. went into thermal once cause i had the thing BOOMING (maxed Bass Boost, 300hz, FULL gain, Full Bass and Loudness on the Sony Head unit) through the amp and it did overheat - again my fault and nothing i couldn't fix - but this amp is sweeeet - i have had some sound systems before and this is the best amp i've used.

Overheating and Overcurrent

Would not recommend this Amp. I have had this amp for a little over a year and from day one had problems with it overheating. And then as if that wasn't enough, conveniently as soon as my waranty was up, it went into OverCurrent Protection leaving me with nothing. Gotta love Sony......

Xplod Head Unit, works fine

nice mids and highs

overheats with subwoofers

Sounded good running 2-12" Sony X-plods but no matter what your adjustments are at the amp gets VERRY HOT on the subwoofer circut. When you get the overcurrent protection and check the subwoofer circut it is grounded out... Or Burnt up. Nice for Mids and Highs... but running a sub.... not my choice...

This is by far the best amp i have used. It powers my 2 1200w mobile es subs with ease. The bass output to the subs is unbelevable

I had this amp for about a year, then suddenly it went into "Overcurrent" protection mode. Luckily i bought an extended warranty plan, so they sent it out for service. Turns out they were not able to fix it, so they gave me a new amp of the same specs.

The ability to run 2 12" subs and a pair of 6"s with ease and still produce HUGE bass. Doesn''t run too hot due to the good design with the heat sink, looks good too.

All the controls and speaker terminals are hard to get to!!!

I bought this amp for my girlfriends Xplod system, installed it, and found it was well worth the money. Variable HPF/LPF with Bass Boost makes this amp perfect for her car. It runs a 12" 400watt RMS Xplod sub, and a pair of Xplod 6"s (I tried 2 subs and it performed better than expected!). Excellent amp, haven''t had a single problem with it!

Power, Flexibility, Size

Did not last very long

Bought this amp with high hopes. Installed and it worked great for about 2 weeks. The gain was only half up on both levels. Suddenly the amp went into protection and thats all she wrote. Now I have to send it back to Sony to find out what is wrong.
