fyi for those of you planning on buying sony subs dont I just went thru my 2nd set of 10 inch subs....I blew up both set and I dont crank them either...I talked to several local audio stores and they all said the same thing that the name was appropriate xplod...I dont know if anyone else has had the same experience but I just thought I would let people know my experience...I ended up getting JBL 100d GTO series....(so far so good) lol.

 

yeah...I have heard the only thing Sony makes that is decent are head units.

 

could be something wrong with your amp and not the subs. I bought 2 Sony Xplod 10" subs over 2 years ago and pound the daylights out of them, no issues.

 

I thought that too about the amp and I had it checked out by the installer who put in my jbl`s and he said it was working fine...hopefully it was just that the subs were defective or something but 2 pairs I dont know what the chances are of that lol....I still love the sony head units

 

try RF i have never im my life blown one of there subs and i abuse them repeatedly ,and not to mention the sound Q . i had a friend with the sonys and he had the same problem he spent a lot more money but went with the JL 12w3s and they sound great i would rate them as high as RF if not higher !!

 

When I went to have my new tint done they were talking about how Sonys quality standards went down when they started mass producing the xplodes for the mass market. Pioneer did the same thing in the 90's when they started doing the same thing and you could get their stuff at Kmart. I don't know if I buy that story. It seems they would have to keep certain standards or lose customers forever.

 

Good looking out. I have had terrible problems with sony subs before. I went through, seriously, six subs in my sony edition focus.

 

Not verified but recently passed on to me by a fairly knowledgeable friend in the entertainment industry:
:nono: Several years ago Sony continued doing the engineering but started subbing a lot of their manufacturing out to less reputable low cost suppliers on a lot of their products.

 

ive had a lot of friends that had problems with xplods doing just that.....and i dislike pioneer.....i had a 800watt sub trying to push my 1 10" sub and it couldnt do it......i ended up with a 500watt memphis studios amp and it pushes the sub with no problem.....and just for the record its an alumapro bp-10

 

ford puts xplod in their cars as optional packages. my friends mom had a sony focus. i wouldnt recommend sony... :nono:

 

I owned the car for 4 years and I probably got a good 3 full hours with the sub working. On a side note.....I never ran into another sony edition Focus. I thought I would get good value for it on the trade in. Boy was I wrong. Only 150.00. I had the right of mind to eat the cost just to rip it out and introduce it to my friend Jack...hammer that is.
