anything but sony, you'll regret it the first day you buy one of their car audio products. they should just stick to home theater

tell me man, what was ur problem with the sony?

well, i started off with a '94 ranger, and put a sony xplod in it. i had no idea about car audio, and i thought since that their home audio products were great, i thought that their car audio products were great. wrong. i sent the thing back 4 times in a 2 year period because the internal amp kept taking a sh*t. i had sony 6X8 speakers in the front, and the right one's cone froze. then, me being stupid, bought a sony amp, and the thing kept shutting off from a thermal meltdown (minding you that this was all installed by best buy, so it was not me screwing it up), i sent it in for the warrenty, got it back, installed it again, and the thing caught on fire. thats why i'm with a '97 ram. so it did help me in a way in upgrading my ride

I have had problems with sony as well. I bought a xm1502sx and the overcurrent light came on after 6 months, i sent it to a sony repair place and after four months of them trying to figure out what was wrong with it they had sony send me a refurbished one and after a month of using that one the overcurrent light came back on, i was still under warranty but threw the POS away instead of dealing with it being sent off for another 4-5 months. I have Kicker COmp VR 12's and they pounded hard when i had the amp.

End of discussion.

Sony does not belong anywhere on this forum, its a pure BAD product with values that are completely off. Dont get this as an insult but your sony will not put out the 1 x 380w @ 4 ohm....

In any case you already have the amp so you will be wanting to use it... I personally would just take two dual voice coil subs so that you can let the subbox play @ 4 ohm together rather instead of wiring it parallel to your amp and running it on 2 ohm.

Look into a low wattage sub with dual coils, maybe the emphaser s3d is something for you, it is a dual voice 12" sub running at 400w rms (200 per coil). Saw it at ACR site for 119 $ each
