Anyone Recoomend Sony 12'' Xplodes?

[IowaBoomer 10+ year member]

I have an oppurtunity to purchase a Sony 12' Xplode SVC for &75 including shipping. Does anyone here have them, and would they go well with a 250 watt Punch Amp. It is 4 ohms, 250 watss RMS, 800 peak, with dual spiders and I tend to listen to alot of Alt Rock and a little Rap. I would be putting it in either a black all fiberglass box, with a monsterous port, a wood box with a small port, ot a sealed. Anyone have an opinion on them?

These subs are good for the money that you are paying but I would not recomend them if they cost any more.

exactly what ranger said, their 75 bucks 4 a reason, i dont like sony car audio, except maybe heard units, and thats a maybe. get some kickers with that nice amp.

any 3 12s would probably give you a goodly large quantity of bass, many many people go for the xplod series cuz it looks cool in the red and its got good cred if you dont know your stuff. get another sub (pioneer, cerwin vega, rockford etc.) and hook it up to the same amp and listen to one then the other over a few of your fav songs, it'll soon show ya that xplod stuff just doesn't cut it (nothing against the HUs tho)

I was going to buy some sony 12's before and the store manager (a friend of mine) said that they sound good but they will crack very easily, especially if you put a lot of power to them.
