[QUOTE="Spooney, post: 6918491, member: 584130"] We install sony cd players on virtually all the boats we build at work(I work for a pontoon boat manufacturer). I never used to like sony at all but I can say without a doubt that their decks are solid. For as many as we use we rarely see any of them come back in for warranty issues and this is with people blatantly abusing the equipment(most of the time due to ignorance) in a marine environment. They don't sound half bad either and I like some of the features that even the entry level models have for use with an mp3 player. As far as subs I had one of the tens (xplode pentagon) a long time ago for about 12 hours. I hooked it up and tried to give it a chance but when you turned it up the sound started to get ugly very fast. When the sub would just get to moving a decent amount it would sound so bad I couldn't stand to listen to it. I returned the sub that day because I wasn't sure if it was defective (which I doubt) or if it just sounded terrible. Never touched a sony sub since although I have a friend who has been abusing the hell out of an xplode twelve for years and it still sounds and works fine to him anyways.Not worth it to me when I know for the same price better sound could be found although those new xplodes with the woven cone look kinda nice minus the xplode logo.
