The problem is that Sonys are NOT for bass heads or power mongers, but more for the audiophile that likes good clean music.
I love my Sony. Very clean.

they're called X-plod because they blow out extremely easy. They're rated at a wattage so high, people try to get that amount of power out of them and they blow out. the 12" sub is rated at 1300 watts max (in huge letters on the box) and in tiny little letters on the bottom of the box it says 350 watts RMS (i think). They rated a 2-channel amp at canadian tire at 1200 watts, and looking at the specs it said "2x 400 watts peak @ 4 ohms", thats 800 watts, no?
They can't handle 2 ohms very well, they do look very nice though I will admit, but there's better performance and better looking amplifiers and subs for only a few dollars more.

Honestly, I bought a Sony Xplod amp, and I didn't like it. I returned it within a few hours!

ive heard a few diff sony amps and personally i dont like them.. they dont power like they say they will.. go with a higher brand where u got the power that they say.. kicker, rocksford, or alpine are good choices for amps.

i like them, not to bad, i have a 1200 watt amp in my trunk, however depends on what your hooking them up to, if there sony subs itll sound great. other subs might be different, it just depends on the speakers. check out my site.

ive heard that theyre good as long as theyre on sony speakers, but unless you want a sony-only system, try to get something else.

I have two Sony ES series amps in my home system. They're awesome!

i hate them i think you should go with a rockford fosgate or kicker amp. Sonys just arent wat people say they are.
