I bought this amp about six months ago to power my one infinity 1262w subwoofer. This amp has more than enough power and never gets hot. I have not had good experiences with Sony car audio products in the past, but this little amp has been awesome.

I have had a lot of systems in the years. Bought this to push 2 10" infinity reference subs in my 96 z28 ragtop. Was very surprised at how good the match sounded. Im a infinity guy so I knew they would sound gd but the amp is very small but packs a punch. Looks good and would buy again even tho im not big on sony products. Kinda curious about the matching 4 channel amp.

I have this pushing a single Kenwood 12" in a sealed box and it does a nice job. It puts out nice steady power and doesn't get hot. A very good deal for the price. Hopefully it will last a long time.
