This amp can take a beating.

I've got this baby wired to two 10" Kicker CompVR (800W RMS and 1600W MAX combined!). They're wired at 2-ohms in bridge and let me tell you, this amp can push them!

Very nice sub

First off i must say that shipping took forever. As far as the amp goes its really good. Have it pushing two 12" kicker comps and they're really slamming. I heard bad things about Sony car audio stuff so i took a risk with getting this amp. It was well worth it, gives my subs some clean, rich, deep bass. I would definitely recommended this product!

Not a bad amp if you're on a budget.

I bought this amp in May 2009. I mainly got it to power a 10" Kenwood KFC-2511 300W RMS 4-ohm Subwoofer and it overpowered it quite easily in bridged mode. I blew the first one within 24 hours, but I didn't know how to properly tune the amp and went back and exchanged it for a new subwoofer. It then powered two Kenwood KFC-2506's wired in 8-ohms and this this pounds. I'm buying a new amp and subs, so this will go into my other car. Great amp if you're on a budget.

its ok

i bought this amp somewhere else and i have 2 12" pioneer ts-w302r subs at 2 ohms and this amp pushes them very well, but the down fall is that it gets hot very quickly and it shuts off after playing for 20 minutes and the amp is only turned half way up, so this amp will be ok if you play it for a couple minutes but i would not recommend this amp to anyone.

Great Amp For me

I have used this amp for over three years, I had it pushing two Rockford Fosgate P2s, pushed them verrryy nice, did shut off like twice, After those 12s were stolen :/, I had it pushing a 12" Rockford P3, which is worked soo good, never shut off, or overheated. Now I have it, yes a 800 watt amp, pushing three 12" kicker comps. Pushed very well. It does get hot, but hasn't cut off. Great amp for the price.

Nice low-priced amp

Surprisingly good sound and power quality for a Sony. Bought this amplifier in a hurry before one of my car shows installed it to run my interior speakers that was over a year ago I never had ANY issues with it at all

Good amp for money

This was my first amplifier back in December. I have used it in many applications, from a Dual SBP10 that it killed, to two Alpine S-10's in various enclosures, and now high-passed and running my cabin speakers on an 8-ohm load. This amp is a good starter amp; not very good for loud bass though. It takes a ton of abuse though. I have never had it cut off or anything, even when it got hot enough to burn my hand (running slightly dirty signal at 2 ohms per channel back in my clueless days.) I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for a cheap amp for a small sub, or to power your cabin speakers.

(For the record, this amp is now pushing one MB Quart EKA-113 and one Alpine SPS-690A per channel, wired to an 8-ohm load. My guesstimate of current RMS power is 70wX2, giving each speaker 35 watts. It sounds nice and clear, although the high-pass filter doesn't have a steep enough slope for my liking [the speakers still move like mad on the low notes] but no problems thus far.)

Amazing

This amp has a lot of power to be Sony. i have it bridged, with a MMATS p3.0 in a bandpass box and my system bangs. It hits hard and deep, strongly recommended when looking for an amp for a low price.

Yeah i owned this amp for like 5 months its good for 2 12s only anything else its going to over heat but its a lot of power like the other but if you trying to get 3 12s i dont think this amp is for you.
