nope. My amp over heats after about 1 hour of use in hot weather in my trunk while its pumping out its full rated power. (1200 peak) = 800 mono 4ohm on mine. To me for a block amp with no fans that is pretty danm good. + give it 5 mins to kool and its good to go again, or i just keep my ac/windows down and the thing is fine.

The point is Sony's First gen of car equipement was complete garbage, the subs and amps did what the title claimed, xplod. But their newer gen stuff is fantastic, (except speakers), even there 15 inch polygon sub gives out great bass for its rather cheap price, of course the mainstream store shit is no wear near that of a kicker Square panal sub, or a Rackmount Audiobahn amp, but it is still some of the best in its class, or at least to me a lot better then pioneer, JVC/Panasonic, Rockford, kenwood etc. Their current entry level decks are fantastic, while i find the mid range sony decks complete shit, and Higher range, such as the MP 80 & 70 have fantastic performance. The only thing i would avoid is their speakers. Sony just has a stupid flag over it ever since their first gen stuff was complete crap, well I say do you blame them ? It was their first year of stuff. Since then it has been nothing but great performance.(Note their amps have just recently become more suitable. Their speakers are still shit.) Ill also say this, Pioneer's is always crap, their top end decks audio quality is poor as shit and the pre outs are pitiful. Its all fucking pizaa with the Organic LEd screen. thats all.

If I had a choice and money wasn o object , Blaupunkt + Clarion would be my choice.
