actually, the p5 style subs aren't the worse subs ever. i had 2 12" in a q-logic box, ported, and they were pretty loud and low. they were better than my friends 2 10" alpine type e.

wow....people dislike sony b/c they make cheap unreliable, non-durable products....there amps are cheap and overrated....their subs are cheap and sound like d00d00....there HU's are crap and sound like crap.....they are an all around crappy car audio company....now T.V.'s...that's another story.:-)

and the people at your school that were beat by your system must have had like 4 6 X 9's running of an amp....that is the only way you could be beaten by a 2 12" Sony's. :-O:-O:-O

all under $400 and any of them would beat both the sony's and pioneers. and devin, i highly doubt xplodes sound pretty close to cvr's, no matter the setup.

devin, go to a real car audio store and have them metered, at most they might charge a few dollars.

jereme, whats your budget for the subs and what are you going for sq, sql, spl?

i'd either get kicker cvr's, ascendant audio assasins, or alpine type r's. all dual 2 ohm except for assains. power the two 12" subs with a audiobahn a8000t, except get the mb quart amp thats on sale at www.onlinecarstereo.com for the r's. put them each in a 1.25-1.75 cu ft ported enclosure tuned to 32-35hz.

You won't be dissapointed at all.

that amp is not the best but it gets the job done nicely. a lot of people like that amp. it also looks pretty cool. it's just their subs that suck

i can get that amp for 130$ thats a good price for 800rms isnt it, but you think thats better than getting a boss audio,kenwood,hifonics?

Back to the sony discussion. Their build quality is very sub-par. My friend has 2 12" P5's and on Red Hot Chili Peppers the bass guitar sounds pretty good. Close to my arsenals, it is just in deep, accurate, and loud bass, and SQ at very high frequencies that Sony's suck at. So basically, almost everything. Although my first 2 subs were the old non p5 subs and they really did decent. They ran with Rockford Fosgate P1 and 2's. But that was about it.

with a sony 250X2 they sound pretty good, im not gonna lie, almost anything is better, but youll probably be happy if youre truly asking this question, because your probably not going to be competeing, alexv305 put a pair of tens in a custom box and they sound sick, for sonys, not the best choice
