Xplode Subs Or No Xplode sub's

[HVerLX]

i got 2 12" sony xplode 800 watt subs and i think there great tell me what you think?

[n88accordLX-i]

If you like them thats all that matters, but personally i think they suck hairy monkey nuts.

[AccordEpicenter]

ditto

i would not get sony anything besides the headunit unless there is an external non-sony amp to back it up. Besides that, all sony shit sucks like n88accordLx-i said.

the main reason for sony head unit preference is cause it looks cool.

sony needs to stick with their playstation and not worry about car audio.

Actually my xplode subs out bassed 2 MTX Blue Thunder 12" subs

Hah... that shut the shit talking up. And he's right, I've seen/heard two xplode 10"s outbump two JL 10"s pushing the same wattage.

[AccordEpicenter]

i had MTX 3000s before and they sucked... that aint sayin much. A friend of mine had 3 12 JL 12w3s with 1500 watts to em and he barely broke 143... that blows for 1500 watts, but they sounded nice.

To 3rdGenFanatic:
actually it didnt shut the so called "shit talking" up. i could post on here that i had twenty million dollars and a solid gold 3rd gen with platinum rims but unless you see it your not gonna believe it. im not sayin the dude is a liar, in fact i might actually believe him. well to tell the truth i dont even know why im posting this. maybe because i hate sony car audio.

i believe that this is one of the times where the setup is more important that the equipment... my dad ran 4 x-plod 6.5's off of a wal-mart pioneer HU and it sounded great, and even sounded fairly good up at the top of the powerband, near peak power... my main problem is the fact that you can get far better speakers for the same price, though... that's my only gripe

[87DXHatch]

A lot of a system sounding good or not is how it's installed. If people take the extra effort and build their own boxes, and build them right, then you can make ANY sub sound great...

However, most people just toss them in pre-fab boxes and then bitch when it doesn't sound right...

But on the other hand, I know that some people prefer colored bass instead of clean bass (there was an experiment done a while back) so that could be the case...

But Sony products for car audio are generally not very good... their higher end HU's are excellent, but most of their amps/speakers/subs are of crappy build quality, crappy engineering and crappy power handling.

Ha, wow thats something to be very proud of :rolleyes: , i had MTX subs like 3 years ago when they were half way decent, and they still sucked, JL Audio's lower end stuff isnt that great either...

it's up to the user but i wouldn't buy sony! i've had so many problems with my X-plode deck its not funny.my deck spent the first two months in the store bing fix than in my car

[HVerLX]

yes there decks and amps suck but there woofer are sweet. they actually did somthing right :super:

[‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›]

I have never had a problem with my deck! It's a Sony MP-70! From my expierence it all sounds the same! Great Sound and small cars just don't go together in my opinion! Also don't care much for others ppl taste in music! I say get whatever you want and you should be happy! If u buy cheap you are gonna get cheap sound!

I have Xplod all the way around, except for the stuff in the trunk, and I've got nothing but good things to say about my system. It does good on both high and low ends, and has plenty of bass, even without the sub setup that I have. I've never bothered to buy the really low end Sony, so maybe that sucks, but I really like my setup. Just my two cents...
