CelticRacer Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Here is what i had in my sol up until recently... 2x 12" Dual subs with a Dual Amp As you have seen from my previous pics it was way too big for the car... And here is what i have now.. 12" Sony Xplod sub with a Dual Amp Just a comparison to show the diff in size... And installed in the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticRacer Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 the dual subs where 550 watt each and the sony is 1200 watt... from what i have seen at low volume they are about the same... the amp will be getting replaced ion the future but for now it works...

CBRF4i Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ehh get a real amp dual is one of those companys that lie about how much watts the amp really is get a kenwood or a sony or something and that sub will hit alot louder and the amp will last alot longer. Sony, Kenwood, Duel, Jenson, Lightening Audio Bolts and all the other bottom end junk can be stuffed in the same box and set out by the road. I know some people will ask whats wrong with Sony or Kenwood but heres the cold hard facts. . for sub amps, Kenwoods dont make enough power.. . And Sony hasnt been worth pissing on since the Mobile ES series stuff back in the 90's To the OP, if your happy with your system then all is well. . . its really low end though. dont let that Sony see a real 1200 watts or it fall apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticRacer Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Is that the max watts, or the RMS?As that is the real number that matters. You can have a subwoofer that has 1000 Watts stamped all over it, but in real life its probably only about 250w... Also, at low volume, you aint gonna be able to tell. Let it bed in for about a week or so, then crank it up (letting the amp warm up a bit first, and have a play with the levels, low/high pass filters and so on. Just tweak it until it sounds right. Choice of song is kinda important though. I have a killer song for testing a system, it tests all frequencies in it, v good for testing ur new toy out, pm me if ya wanna copy. yeah, i would have cranked it but gotta keep the gf happy (it was around midnight when it got put in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticRacer Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 How hard does it hit and where did you put it? it hasnt been put to its limit yet but at low volume it was already pretty loud. its in the trunk close to the cab of the sol...

alex37211 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 it hasnt been put to its limit yet that's probably a good thing too, considering it's an xplod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsol Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'd like to get the stealthbox that takes place of the rear bins, since I don't really have use for them ATM. I wouldn't mind it in the trunk either, but wouldn't want it to rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDBULLx69 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 in my opinion...dual and sony speakers and subs are probly the worst out there. they just dont have good sound. but if you want good speakers that are cheap, go with pioneer or kenwood. you want really good speakers and dont care about price, go with jl audio or infinity or rockwood.
