sony xplods are TOTAL crap. every single set up ive heard with them i feel like i need a shower when i get out of the vehicle. its such a dirty bass. yes some of them do kick but ew...just no
for the same price you can get a pair of MTX 4500's. I had a pair of 12"s running of a 350 watt RMS Alpine amp, and they sounded pretty decent. I think I paid like 35 or 40 bux a woofer. If I was on a budget I'd get thoes again.
