  1. Sony Xplods are very wattage sensitive. you really have to be alert when you're pairing them up with an amp. I tell all the people I install for to get a Sony Xplod amp thats built for them so they dont have trouble with wattage issues. Most people end up overpowering them because they think the 1200 watt is the rms or something. 1200 is usualy what they can handle right before death. Although you do tend to find one or two that can handle it.  


  2. dude ok get somethin round 2400 watts...not over.... but dont get the weak 1-4 gauge.....spend the extra money (like 10 more bucks) n get some 5 guage. I got 5 guage n it makes all the difference from friends who have lower than me. the sound is great nn they hit clean not MESSY


  3. Sony makes more than one model sub

    info needed to PROPERLY match amps and subs

    the subs voice coil setup (DVC or SVC)

    the subs impedance (ohms)

    the final impedance at the amp (how the subs are wired)

    the number of subs

    the subs RMS (continuous) wattage

    or

    the model numbers

    you NEED to look at the RMS (continuous) wattage not the peak.max wattage because they mean nothing

    this link has a chart to help you figure that out, and i always go one size larger because its easier/cheaper in the long run to have the thicker wire in case you want to upgrade in the future (you don't have to remove the old wire and start over) http://www.crutchfield.com/learn/learnin...

    be careful with your wiring kit also, make sure its the advertised size http://www.crappyinstall.com/Forum/viewt...

  4. you can get you a 1500 watt amp or a 2400 amp DONT GO OVER THE WATTS TO MUCH BECAUSE YOU WILL BLOW YOUR SUBWOOFERS get you a 0ga to a 4ga amp kit this will get all the power to your amp
