100x2 at 4ohms

 

180x2 at 2ohms

 

210x2 at 1 ohm

 

360x1 at 4 ohm

This amp (G2100) was benched and provided a little over 600 watts bridged at 4ohms and about 700 bridged at 2 ohms. For a good idea of true continuous power look towards the average between the 12v rated and "dynamic" power.

very good shape minus the shroud.

This is to compare the Sony Xm models versus the G models which use a very similar heatsink and color. But they are not the same amp on the inside.

Both are ES models. Even the G models are XM but a higher level of the XM. Both are very nice and offer great SQ but.... the prices may vary due to the components used int the amps.

The only amp I havent had or heard is the 460G. Which is a 4 channel version of the 260G.

The XM3546 and XM5046 is apparently a smaller version of the more beefy 460G which is a 4 channel G series ES Amp. The G is a Gibraltar heatsink and also signifies a more robust components usage in the amps such as the number of caps and also bigger fets in the power supply. I think the caps used in these amps are the same type ( brand name)

 

The XM series, although an ES model, is one step lower than the G models.

BUT

The XM5046 is a dual power supply amp and has 4 channels. The XM3546 as you can see doesnt have dual power supplies.

The XES is a step above these models and was a whole different SQ amp.

The XES uses even larger Fets. Larger caps and totally separate power supply and amp board in one heat sink. The XES is the Best Sony offered and was outstanding.

 

The rarest of all these Sony ES amps is the 460G

 

The XM5046 is indistinguishable form the 2100G in sound. Even though the Model (XM vs G) should be a substantial different in components. The Xm3046 , although nice and clean for mids and highs, doesnt offer the same sonics as the XM5046.

 

These amps all use balanced inputs. A very important consideration when going SQ in an install , to eliminate ground loops.

 

 

Here is a great website with more info on the different Sony models.

its a FREE guts website

 

IT HAS THE 260g WHICH IS THE SMALLER VERSION OF THIS 2100G

I Was told this amp will run subs or highs just fine.

What would make a difference is how each amp handles musical demands. Some amps can't keep up when volume increases. I would doubt the pioneer or the hifonics has the same quality components as in the amp.

I need to find out if my current Italian amp even has as good of parts

 
I'd really like to grab this while I have the chance but I haven't got the cash.
Need anything else, midbass or somethin'?

wtf? I was trying to contact you to buy the 460 you had..lol

I just finished putting it in the car and well ..its clean ...

pm me if you have something in an 8 inch sub. I will work with you for just cash. I will let you pay me in chunks. I would like to see the 460 and 2100 together.

this is a nice sounding amp. I just pulled out my Audio Systems Twister f4-380 which is a Italian made amp and I have to say I can keep this and sell the twister. its that clean

 
Sent you a PM about an 8", buddy.

Otherwise, I'll save up the cash while you have fun auditioning it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
