What is soo bad about sony?

Hey guys, thanks for the replies... just a note, its not like i am in love with sony or feel like they have the best stuff out there. I did and have listened to a bunch of alpine stuff and some of the more expensive rockford stuff sounded a hell of a lot better, but its more about the price range since i really dont have the dough to drop on really nice stuff. AAnd the fact u can buy the sony xs subs on the net for like 70 a piece is just an apealing incentive to me.

any more opinions would be appreciated.

Alpine Type R 10" run around $70-$80 on ebay, the 12" version around $90-$120.

RE RE series subwoofers are right around that price as well. http://www.reaudio.com

Kicker's buy one get one free promo for their Comp subs might work for you as well. Comp VR's are super cheap on ebay as well - $75 would get you a new L5 10".

Lots of options out there for a small budget.

 
Every piece of Sony car audio gear I have owned has been dysfunctional. I got screwed when I bought a Sony Electronic crossover- it adds static to the bass freqs and makes my Bhrama pop in and out limply... At 0 volume on the HU.

And I had a Sony headunit that did everything but work properly. It would only play brand new discs then as soon as they were scratched it would skip like a motha. It would skip when the bass hit from the sub too...

 
a friend of mine has 4 sony 8s and 2 sony mobile es amps and it sounds pretty clean, not really loud, the headunits are good tho, i've had my same headunit for like 4 years and it still works like a champ, as for audiobahn dont get me started, i had a audiobahn immortal, one of there best lines, and i had 1700 watts to it rms and it had a 3000 watt peak limit, and it blew up within 15 minutes

 
I too am not too fond of Sony stuff myself. But they have made several nice Mobile ES amps many years ago.

I currently run a Sony XM3001SXD (not a Mobile ES) Class D amp at 1 OHM into an Orion H2 and it absolutely slams. For that matter I have been running it for 5 years at 1 ohm with no problems at all. A legit 1200 watts RMS. Before the H2 I ran an HCCA 12D off of it. Even the internals look pretty good for what many of you would call "a cheap POS Sony amp" -
