Sony used to be manufactured in the exact same factory as JL w6s that factory was Onkyo in Walesboro Indiana, now they mass produce them in Asia and Onkyo's bankrupt. The subs Sony sells are gimmick subs much like the bling bling Audiobahn woofers and such. HEXAGON CONE.... ok who cares, RED WOOFER CONE.... thats going to make it sound how much better?.... SUPER MAGNET BOOT.... yey that way everyone will think my magnets huge and it will take up a bunch of space in my enclosure! Pretty much woofers are getting easier to spot who's selling on hype and who's selling serious products. I have to tip my hat away from Sony products unless you're buying electronics, if you want drivers buy something American and solidly built. A stellar example of a budget sub still made in the USA is right below, no hype no junk, just a solid product.  |

Silver Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 254 Registered: Oct-05 | Amps are CEA compliant, if you get a warranty you'll probably eventually get a good one They're a gamble though. They put out there rated power but the build quality means it may last a life time or a day. |

New member Username: Eazy_eChi Town, IL Post Number: 5 Registered: Nov-05 | The Sony XM-2200GTX is an excellent amp. except it over heats in about half an hour of playing and goes into protection mode |

New member Username: Eazy_eChi Town, IL Post Number: 6 Registered: Nov-05 | to the Rockford Fosgate Punch P8002... i hooked it up to my type R's and the sony amp sounded more clear and the bass hit harder than the Rockford at the same volume. |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2034 Registered: Jul-05 | really, i would think the RF would put out more seeing that RF is a better overall amp, and the sony only puts out 500rms(bridge), where the gains and everything the same |
|
New member Username: Eazy_eChi Town, IL Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-05 | NO not really the Rockford was a better amp because it didn't over heat. But I boght the Rockford cuz it puts out 800rms bridged so the diffrance was not that big between the amps but the RF was better do u know if the Power Acoustik TS1920-2 amp. is woth buyin or not |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2039 Registered: Jul-05 | not worth buying. to power ur type r's u should look at Kicker kx 1200.1 Orion 1200d Re 12.1 Phoneix Gold 1200.1 JL 1000/1, just to name a few, also do u have the 2005 model r's |

Silver Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 261 Registered: Oct-05 | The 2006 model lineup is CEA compliant, if you're benching those and they're not putting out there rated power you need to call CEA and show them your results. I've known people to run Sony amps and never have a bit of trouble with them and I've seen others run them and they die, I've never known them to be pushovers in the power department and this is the first year for the compliance hence the lowered RMS ratings on there amps. Check out the new lineup somewhere you'll see what I'm talking about, Infinity, Rockford, Alpine, and Sony have all gone along with CEA compliance rules amongst other brands for 2006. |
