thats exactly how i feel.. the worst thign is when you go and learn all this stuff and try to tell others, they just shrug it off and continue buying their "1000w" sony or audiobahn shit... (1000w max, 360w RMS)

That's all understandable.

When you first get into car audio you think the major brands like sony and audiobahn will be a great choice and are "better." Then soon enough you're told that they are junk. You don't ever really know what they are talking about. Then you start to notice things.

This guy in my automechanics class was just driving around with his subs going. They caught fire in his truck and destroyed them.

Now this Sony amp that I thought was perfectly fine turns out to be a waste of my time. Hey that rhymes. Thanx everyone.

If all them lights stay on ts fried. Happened to my Sony amp I had years ago...

I had a similar sony problem. I had it in my car for less than 2 weeks before it just stopped working. Send it back to them to get fixed, sell it on fleabay to some n00b, and buy a good amp.

Thanx, atleast I don't feel alone.

Sony P***** Me Off

Today I got a hold of a 760W Sony amp that was originally mine but am using it for the first time (brother had it).

I hooked this thing up in my friends S-10 and it has 4 lights on the top.

- 1 green power light

- 1 red over current light

- 1 red offset light

- and 1 red thermal light

The power light, offset, and over current light came on first. I turned the key off and turned it back on and got the power light and the over current light. There's nothing coming out of the subs.

I know over current means something in the sense that it's getting too much power...I don't know how.....

I have no idea what offset means though.

I guess thermal means it's too hot.

I put the amp in my car real quick and I got the same power light and over current light.

Please help me understand this or atleast just remind me that sony's G** and forget about it. Thank you.
