Would anyone recommend this Xplod system from Circuit City?

[knoxville]

I have been reading some posts on here and it seems like most people hate Sony Xplod products. Is there anyone here who has Xplod stuff and actually likes it?

I am thinking about buying this package.

Keep in mind that I can probably get it for $260 before tax.

I would love to hear from someone who has this setup and likes it.

I would spend alittle more and get something worth it.

Also that box is for 2 x 12" subs but you only get one.

I guess for that price it's better than factory sound..barely?? bahahaha I loved reading all those "customer" reviews on the equipment in the link.

U only get 1 subwoofer? it'll be 200 watts rms to the sub. I think Sony (in the car audio department, PS2 and sh!t like that is great) just mass produces too much cheap stuff, I mean its good deals for people who dont have the money, but u can really find better. If its circuit city u can probably go in and ask them to let u hear those subs, and if u like it than get it. In the end it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks as long as ur happy with what u got.

Didn't notice that until you posted it. Figure the ad has a typo or is Circuit City really that retarded?

Not sure but i bet it is there way to get you to buy another sub.

Just save your self head aces and waisted money

Get a Alpine Type R sub and a good 300w-500w rms amp

You should be able to pick that up for around the same price as that sony junk.

I bought a 12" sony xplod sub from walmart for about $60 3 years ago before i knew anything about car audio and i still have it today along with 2 10" assassins. And actually i don't think sony subs is as bad as everyone says they are. Off of about 250 watts 1 10" assassin and 1 12" xplod were about equal in spl both in ported enclosures the assassin definetly sounds better but that might be due to the fact that the xplods box is tuned in the low 40s. I am not saying that sony makes great subs but i think there better than most people seem to think.

They're actually alright for dirt cheap subs. If you can afford it, definitely get better subs. I have one 12" Explod in my Jeep that I basically use for off-road only. I got it for free, so if it gets wet or mudcaked and quits, oh well. Considering it was free and gets treated like crap, it performs admirably well.

I like how the reviews on those subs are all by people u class there amps by peak watts. LOL and one guy saying there better than type r s.I say start looking at kicker 05 cvr 12 4ohm and a 400 watt kicker amp. thatll be like around 300 little more than sony but alot better.

in other words there are better equipment around that price range......

I listened to that exact package yesterday at CC, and it didn't sound that bad. It was moderatly loud and had an average SQ.

Sony is no longer bottem of the line, though they're still over priced.

Sony = FTL

You can get so much better than that for a lil bit more money. Sony is not really worth it at all. Unless its free. In that case I would hook it up and send it 1100 rms just to blow the hell out of it.
