some gold member in the home audio forum said this and i almost peed
Personally I think the subs are weak. For the same price of an xplod sub you could get a different sub which would give you more bang for the buck.
Leading subs: JL Audio, Audio Bahn, Infinity, and JBL higher range... the kicker solabaric L5s are good... sony just cant cut it there. For me something has always been wrong with Sony subs. They just dont sound as good as the ones I have heard in full swing (see list above). Though I have to hand it to Sony as they dont sound distorted and full of hiss either...
However, the 6x9 range is exceptional. The xplod sounds good wired off the head unit or amped.
don't pay attention to any1 in home audio talking about car audio, a long time ago some1 made a thread in the home audio subwoofer section titled solo x vs JL w7 this thread pretty much turned into a thread about home audio and car audio bitchim at each other, it was acutally quite funny though.
