[QUOTE="qwiktune, post: 7725806, member: 616417"] My previous system = 2 Sony Xplode 12s in sealed box (the red pentagon ones 350w RMS) run by an Alpine MRD-M301 amp (350w RMS @2 ohms) I had that system for a very long time and it was decent (although I know the general population is pretty anti sony when it comes to car audio, I'll admit I hate their amps, but these subs have performed well for me over 8 years) but decided to try something new/bigger so I upgraded my system to 2 12in Rockford HX2's (1000w RMS) run by a Kenwood KAC-9104D (900w RMS).....well let me just tell you i think it was a little more than I bargained for haha. Now not only can you hear me coming like before but now you can feel it lol. I can tell its a little bit more stressful on my car as well. I actually think I might switch back to my previous setup being that well not only could I use the money I'll get from the HX2s but they are over kill and i noticed not to much better in the sound quality department. Granted they are louder and hit harder but to be honest I really was just looking for something with better SQ and from what I've read these puppies are beast but are more for SPL side. Not to mention my car rattles a lot more than it did and my car being a '98 i feel like with running this bigger setup i'm setting myself up for future problems maybe more so electrical since these rockfords are juice hogs..... Can anyone suggest what I could get to replace my Xplodes but just having better SQ? Although I love bass these HX2 are just really loud and I'd rather have something thats tighter and has great SQ [/QUOTE]
