| psymo's Full Review: Sony XM-752EQX Car Amp |
This was my second attempt to find a good amplifier for my two brand new Sony 10" Subwoofers. The first was a small Jensen Amp that I purchased on eBay for $20 (Big Mistake). Well, it turns out that all I bought was a fancy $20 paperweight. Having no more faith in eBay, I went to my local Sears department store. They had a bargain table (all the last years models on sale) and I found this little firey red Amp at a discount of $159.00 from the $249.00 that is was.

Uses
I bought this Amplifier with the intention of using it for my subwoofers. It performed it's duty with flying colors. I could not believe how it sounded, it was so impressive! Comparing it to Rockford Fosgate Punch Amplifier (I do not remember what model, but it was at Audio King) the Sony produced better sound than it. It's Lows were much more definate and it did not sound as choppy.
After a while, I decieded to put a couple of 6x9's in my Aspire. With the new speakers, I bought a new Amplifier for my Subwoofers (Sony XM-1902GX). I hooked the 752eqx to my new 6x9's and took advantage of the 5 Band Equalizer. I had complete control over what my 6x9's played and it felt great! I turned on the High pass filter (Which blocks those lows that the subwoofers handle) which added to the overall excitement of the installation.
That proved it all. This amplifier can handle the Lo-Lows and the Hi-Highs that music of today produce. That is a lot to say about car stereo amplifiers, some you pay thousands for, but they can only handle one end of the spectrum. The XM-752eqx is one step above those Amps in that respect.
This Amplifier is the absolute best amplifier that I have ever worked with.
