I hope it doesn't get cold where you are. Because the first time you cranked those speakers in the cold, you can kiss your woofers good bye. I've seen them up here and in 20*F weather, the plastic cones shatter and destroy the speaker as you can imagine.

I relate Sony Speakers and Amps to Durabrand and Dual. Imported piles of junk that you would be lucky to even get a year out of. I have a buddy of mine that built an entire system for his blazer out of nothing but durabrand and sony for a budget sound compet. He won, but would you like to take a guess as to what he did with the entire system when he got home? It pulled it all and threw it in the trash as they were junk.

Why pay the money for that type of system? It's a waste unless you think you are a ricer.

SIDE NOTE- Learn how to use grammar, please.

the only thing is you have to have it wired up at a 1ohm load....(if you have the 1500trxd that means four 4ohm speakers coils or two 2ohm coils wired together to put a 1 ohm load on amp) and the trick they use is they show you the total harmonic distortion specs at 4 ohm (less power) .5 harmonic distortion is very distorted to the human ear btw (.05 sounds good to ear .5 sounds like speaker is on its way out)
these are tricks they use to have big ##s..... if you have one 4 ohm sub wired to that amp it will put out 800 watts rms and 1500 max (very good) but thats at full distortion....likely it will push about 500 wattsrms 1000 max to one 4 ohm sub before it starts to sound like ****....still very good and very very powerful. (if you have a lot of capacitors and 14.4 v that doesnt dip when the bass hits (watch your alternator gauge dip when it does that means less power and more distortion..realistically it dips to around 13 -12 volts in many cases) just trying to explain marketing tricks...to really get and sustain those specs you can either install a few caps (wont help you with long bass notes like some rap crap uses) a real good deep cycle battery (yellow top optoma is not enough been there) or get a 160 amp alternator.....(good luck)
On the plus if you listen to rock or country it will kick hard as hell....

So since I don't really want a lot of base i'd be better off with just the front and rear speakers.
