Sony car audio products suck they are a joke. Kenwood is the same way. And after the "a" line of Rockfords went away they suck.
And there is so much more that goes into consideration when comparing sound systems than wattage. You have cabin gain, box size, tuning freq. if ported so on and so forth. Speakers have a lot to do with it too. If you were to get a 100 watt speaker with good build quality and so forth it can sound much better and some times louder than a 500 watt speaker. There is so many variables besides wattage.
Case in fact last year at a comp 1 guy had 2 JL 12W3V2s running off of a 500 watt JL amp going against a guy with 2 Kicker 12L7s and around 1500 watts of power. Now anybody that knows L7s knows that they should have won no problem with that setup but it was about 3 dB's lower than the Jls with 500 watts. Both were in a ported box but the JLs were higher and they were Honda CRX which is probably the best car to compete in for SPL. The only reason I remember this one so well is the guy with the L7s got mad because he lost and couldn't understand why and they almost fought about it.
