Bronze Member Username: KissdaredevilPost Number: 72 Registered: Aug-06 | this is my thing about sony. I have been working with and installing car audio for a long time. all of sony's subs I have thought sucked. All their headunits sucked. But for some reason I know people who use their amps with no problems whatsoever and they actually have good sound quality. I don't understand why everyone gives sony amps a bad rap. I think it's cause everything else they make sucks. I doubt everyone has used their amps. |
