Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Sony's Xplod amps combine form and function in a mix that'll make your system look and sound great. On the outside, the sleek inverted heat sink keeps vital internal components running cooler and lasting longer. Removable terminal covers keep all the wire connections protected and out of sight for a clean-looking installation.

Underneath the hood, the 2-channel XM-1252GTR delivers 125 watts to two channels, or 340 watts in single-channel operation — plenty of power for many subwoofer systems. Signal-sensing speaker-level inputs activate the amp automatically when you turn on your factory radio, so there's no remote turn-on lead for you to install.

Built-in frequency filters tailor the sound to fit the application, while a bass boost adds extra punch to the lows.

Satisfied January 8, 2008
Reviewer: Gamby from Newport News, VA  
My only beef is that the HP/LP filter is not variable (set at 80 hz).  Would be nice if the low boost was variable as well (40 hz), but I don't know if anyone offers that.  As far as getting what I expected, I got absolutely that and I would give it a five, but it gets a four simply because nobody should leave out a variable crossover for a HP/LP filter.  After remembering that my Sony CDX GT-310 had a LPF at 125 hz, I used that instead and left the filter on the amp off.  Sounds great now!  Overall I recommend the act.


 
Perfect for the price August 4, 2007
Reviewer: Angelica from Marina, CA  
I bought this amp from the Crutchfield Outlet for my boyfriend.  He was looking to replace a lower-powered amp that he was using to power a 12" Sony Xplod subwoofer.  As soon as we hooked it up in his car and turned it on, we were really impressed with how powerful the sound was.  We bridged the amp to power this single speaker and it works great.  There are a couple things you should know before buying this.  The gain and the bass boost have to be adjusted with a screw driver, which can make it a hassle to make changes. Also, the amp gets hot enough to grill a steak.  However, I've run the amp for hours and had no problems with it shutting off.  One thing I didn't really like about this amp was that the low pass filter seems to cut the frequency too low, leaving a gap in the sound.  I just leave it on all pass when running the sub.  This amp is a great deal, it serves my purposes with power and it's going to be a long time before I even think of changing this one.

Reviewer: Matthew from Marquette Mi  
I purchaced this amplifier to power two 8" Rockford Fosgate subs in custom made ported boxes. The main reason I purchaced this amp, other than I just like Sony, is because it has line-in sensing meaning that I don't have to run a remote wire. This was especially important because I left my stock Bose stereo in place and didn't want to have to "tap" into existing wires to run a remote. Everyting about this amp has exceeded my expectations, meaning that the power is more than adequate, sound is great, line-in sensing works flawlessly, and the connections are easy to use and understand.

Just watch out that you don't over-tighten or loosten your connection screws; they cross thread and strip pretty easially.

I connected into the rear speaker wires in the front passenger-side door sill, and ran my power wire through the firewall through the large rubber gromet above the left foot area on the drivers side. The amp is located on the center hump under the rear seat, and it's low profile does not hinder midgate operation.
