SONY XM-2200GTX 2/1 XPLOD Channel Amplifier

Product Description
The Sony Xplod XM-2200GTX model offers exceptional performance in a tough black chassis with a P5 red inlay. It is equipped with ultra-quick MOSFET power supply and output device made to handle high volumes of current, while providing optimal frequency response and control. The amplifier also features variable hi-pass/lo-pass filters for improved sound quality.

Amazon.com Product Description
Juice up your car stereo with high, clean, and efficient power using Sony’s XM-2200GTX Xplod model 2-channel automotive power amplifier. Simple to install and configure, the class A/B amp is capable of driving 200 reliable watts per channel RMS (continuous) into 4-ohm speakers (400 watts peak), or up to 600 wpc peak into 2-ohm speakers. Alternately, you can use it as a bridged, monaural amp for a road-rattling 1,200 watts per channel–buy one for every speaker in your system.

Feed the XM-2200GTX line-level RCA signals from your CD or cassette head unit, or speaker-level outputs from the same using a standard 4-pin connector. Handy stereo RCA passthrough jacks let you add additional amplifiers–now at a later date–to handle rear speakers or mono-block amplification. Mount the XM-2200GTX in the trunk or under your seat, attach the inputs, set your level, and crank up the tunes. You get up to 10 dB of bass boost (centered at 40 Hz) if your car, music, or neighborhood really cries out for it.

Controls include LPF (low-pass filter) selection, cut-off frequency adjustment (50 or 300 Hz), low-boost control, and the master level-adjustment control. A protection circuit and indicator protects the unit from damage.

The amp is equipped with an ultra-quick MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) power supply and MOSFET output devices made to handle high volumes of current while providing optimal frequency response and control. Its built-in power regulator converts the power supplied by the car’s DC 12V battery into high-speed pulses using a semiconductor switch. These pulses are stepped-up by the built-in pulse transformer and separated into both positive and negative power supplies before being converted into direct current (DC) again. This lightweight power supply provides highly efficient power with a low-impedance output.

What’s in the Box
Amplifier, mounting screws (4), high-level input cord (1), protection cap (1), a user’s guide with installation manual, and warranty/registration information.

Note: Installation required, instructions provided.

Customer Reviews
“UNBELIEVABLE BOOM”

I got this amp to power 2 kicker CVR10 with Pioneer head unit in my 97 Toyota Camry. The bass and loudness cracked my passenger window. I’m running them unbridged because i can’t stand the bass when bridged.

“BOOM”

I bought this Amp used, with a pair of Sony XPlod 12″ speakers and an enclosure. It’s running via RCA jacks from a cheap Pioneer CD player.

You can see the setup here: […]

Although someone told me using the Sony amps bridged they burn out easy, I’ve been running mine pretty loud (unbridged!) for a couple years without any issues whatsoever. The amp has plenty of power, more than I need, really.
