Thinking of using a sony amp?

[Moofs]

So I went to walmart today and noticed they had some of the parts I was gonna pay for online right in the store. So I looked around. They had the amp I wanted but then noticed they had some others for close to the same price. But they were sony amps. I've heard people bash these but reviews showed up to be good. This is what I plan to do.

Get a 4 channel amp and wire it up to a single 10inch woofer. Probably a pioneer tsw252r. Which is rated at 120watts RMS at 4ohms. I'm looking to give two of the channels to my front speakers and bridge the other 2 and run the sub, I want to stay at 4 ohms when bridged. Can I do this with all these amps? Can I bridge them even or would that mess up on of the sony amps?

I'm down to 3 amps:

sony xm gtx6040

Sony xm zr604

Dual xpa4640

I know the dual can be bridged safely but can the others?

I'll be using a 6g scosche amp kit along with this.

Please don't recommend me anything online or off ebay, I'm between these b/c they are in the store.

I hear a 50/50 like/dislike about sony. I think it's mostly about their subs though.

I mean I am looking at getting the dual amp but if I mean does anyone thing one of the sonys may work better for my setup?

i would get the sony before the dual .those amps are junk it will run hot when its brigded

All i have to say, since i don't have experience with sony, is do NOT use that sosche 6 gauge wiring kit. I used it, then got Rockford Fosgate 4 gauge and here is a vid of the difference.

She has heard my stuff at full tilt MANY times before with the sosche, this is her first time near full tilt with RF

Dang but I might need to settle for it. I mean I don't care about how loud it is, I won't be going over half volume and in reality, never full. I mean if I sacrifice a little sound quality I guess thats fine bc the other kits are like 90$ which I can't afford on this budget.

The other kit I had in mind was the EFX which is still by scosche.

I mean I'm making like 200watts here, should that kit be okay compared to ur system?

I'm more concerned about the amp overheating like said above.

I see sony amps in almost every car around here with a system its the 1000 WATT MAX or the 1200 watt MAX. I have no idea the quality I have just never heard any loud system with these amps or subs. I know someone is going to bring up a link of a loud sony sponsored car, but imo I would spend more and get something you will really appreciate.

my first amp ever was a dual 450watt, on two dual 10's it came with a vw golf we bought. and i still have that amp sittig right here in storage.. i have also done 2 sony explode builds, it def did not disappoint me for the budgets they had, i made that camera and dodge durango slam.
