Default Sony vs. Kenwood

I'm looking for an amp to power a pair of Infinity Kappa 6.5" 62.5i 2-way speakers in the front of my accord. The kappas are rated at 75W RMS, 225W max. The two amps I'm considering right now are the Kenwood KAC-6201 rated at 60W x 2 at 4 ohms, and the Sony XM-280GTX rated at 80W x 2 at 4 ohms. I've heard some bad things about sony stuff being overrated so my question is would it be better to go with the kenwood even though it's rated for less power because it would actually put out closer to its rated power? How much do you think the Sony would actually put out? One last thing the Sony has a low pass filter which would seem to suggest it's made with subs in mind but I could turn still turn that off and run speakers off it right? Any help is appreciated thanks.
