I am thinking about getting 2 12"" Xplod XS-L123P5B in my GS300. Are these good subs? I dont need any CRAZY bass, just something nice to show up some people sometimes.

Also, which amp should i go with? The speakers need 380W Each, so I was thinking about going with one 1000W Amp?

 

they are probably one of the worst subs you can get.

 

I would never buy a subwoofer with the name "Xplod (EXPLODE)"

plus they're probably under 380 watts as well...it's sony, they tend to lie about things


why does everyone get a "1000 Watt Amp" for every type of speaker?

 

Nothing like having garbage XPLOD in your face when the 1000W amp melts the voice coils. Sony is not a good speaker manufacturer.
There are much better choices. You can even check ebay for some deals. Also check out woofersetc.com, good selection.

 

Sony Xplods are junk man sorry. You can always gor with Rockford Fosgate Phase 1 subwoofers are even a pair of Kicker Comps. They cost a little more but they are worth it.

 

XPLOD's are crap. I roasted 2 xplod 10's with a 1000 watt xlpod amp.

 

Dont do it, its a shame to even take one near a lex. Put out a budget and maybe we can help u.

 

Hmm.. Im thinking about a JL10''W6v2 or a 10''W7

I just need some good bass that could get pretty loud if i wanted it too, but id keep it not very loud most of the time.

Also, do I need a new head unit after I get this sub?

Ill probably spend around 500$ for the Sub and 500$ for the Amp. Max.

 

12W6v2 & 500/1

or

10W7 & 500/1

= Sex, little expensive but will be well worth it. If u want all around god response throw it into a 1.5 cft3 sealed box, or if you want it to get a loud port it (2.5cft3 tuned to 28-32hz) would sound great.

 

Well, in Sony's defence (because they need as much as they can get) their speakers are made in the same factory as many other speakers. Unfortunately their design is very poor because most of their R&D money goes into marketing instead. Still, Sony does suck monkey sack.

Anyways, I'm a JL fan as long as its anything better than a W3. The W6 and W7 are both great subs as long as you aren't paying full retail.
