I had a Sony amp for the longest time and even though I beat the crap out of it, it always worked fine. It actually did almost its rated power (it was around 900 watts into 1 ohm... rated at 1000w @ 1 ohm) and it sounded decent enough. For only $220cdn it was a great deal and it lasted me a long time until I finally sold it. Compared to other stuff, it might not be that great - I had a JL 500/1 for awhile that sounded worlds better but cost $800cdn - but if you are on a budget, you can't really go wrong. It was a three year old monoblock model... XM-3001XGD or something. The new stuff isn't so great... I'd avoid it at all costs..
JBL is solid shit but then again you could probbly get an elemental Designs amp for around the same amount of money, and the elemental stuff is probably superior... I don't know the USD retail of a JBL though but I'm just thinking if the markup is similar to what it is up here, the elemental stuff will cost the same but outperform the JBL.
ill just stik with the kenwood that will be here thursday then

My friend had to RMA his 800 watt amp 3 times! He was not to happy. Take a look at the new Infinity line of amps.. They look great and sound awesome too.

I dunno about their class d amps, but there 2 channel amps (this years version) are underrated. I had a 100 watt rms amp fry the woofers of 100 watt rms components. Yes, they were set up correctly. The woofers are awesome they played awesome right until the fryed. Polk Momo components rock.
Plus they are cheap. I will never buy audio equipment from ebay again.
