For the price of the 2 sonys you could get a much better amp in a JL or Pheonix that would sound much better. Beside the sony amp in fine print says that it only puts out 150x2 for the 760 watt amp. At the shop I worked at we replaced one of those amps that was trying to run 2 12s with the 250/1 JL Audio amp and I can honestly say it hit at least 3 times harder with every thing else the same.
