i have had heaps of sony gear with no dramas, including those amps. ive run them up against kenwood kac8103d kac8152d, and 8401d, and they detroy the pioneer gm7*00M monos. THese are all in the same price point, and running the same pair of JL subs, didnt come close. Plus, they are a tiny footprint amp, and fit under ur seats no worries. twice the warranty period of the other brands, not that ive had to send them away. Very happy with them for the money, reliability, practicality and power they put out. Sony have put out some shite products but have definitely picked up their game a LOT over the last two years. Ive seen more pioneer and kenwoods come back thats for sure.
FOr a budget option that DOES sound good, fits anywhere, and lasts, they are hard to beat champ. That is speaking from experience, yours may differ. Its not about respect, just means that ive only ever done well with the product.
