Believe me people, people can talk, talk and finally get tired and keep silent. My experience with all some major sub brands is that, all original subs sound great e.g Kenwood, Pioneer, Kicker, Alpine, JBL. The thing that differ is personal preferences on what type of bass to listen to. Now because of this reason I love all Sony subs because of their unique bass that is long range. No any other sub sound that can go far as Sony does with any amplifier.The truth is that some other subs may have more bass than some sony brands but still Sony subs have unique long range bass(simply loudest). Because of this reason Sony simply outdoes the other subs because even if you simply consider two cars parked, one with sony subs and the other with the other subs,(same sub watts and amplifier) believe me you may think that it is only the car with Sony subs singing because it will be louder. This applies to nearly all Sony sub brands beginning with Sony 1000 watts (xsl-120p5h upwards.
For example my friend had 1000 watts Kenwood sub which sounds great and loud and I had Sony 1000 watts (XSL-120P5H sub and another friend had pioneer 1000watts which also sounds great and loud. We did a test with the same amplifier , head unit and under the same song inside a room.Believe it or not sony was the loudest and even the sound bass was unique and even my friends far away in a field could turn their heads back when the sony was turned on.
Now I upgraded to sony xsl-124p5b which hits more harder, more bass and still the loudest as compared to the other sub- brands.Congrats to sony engineers.i even have a small amp in the house and still the sony sounds great even without an equalizer.Any sony sub above 1000 watts can do a great job.Try it.

I bought a pair of these 12" xplod subs for 100 bucks, hooked them to a Xplod XM-ZZR3301 Amp in a sealed box running 600 watts RMS. Total was $100 for both subs $100 for the box and $148 for the Xplod amp. So $350. I couldn't be happier with this system. considering the system in my other car is two JL Audio 12W3v3-4 powered buy a TMA T1000.1 just one JL W3v3 cost $409. So for a fraction of the cost of my other system this is one wicked slamming stereo. Don't waste your money buying name brand stereos go for the budget build you wont be disappointed. Way to go SONY. and I never use to like Xplod before I bought this system

Has good sound quality but no bump. If your looking for a small bass upgrade then i could maybe see getting these. Have 2 in my 4 door Grand Prix and it sounds super good but if you want bump then these aren't for you.

I just installed these bad boys last night and they are amazing!! I was a little skeptical to buy these considering they were sonys but they had some great reviews and I decided to go for it. I had thunder mtx 5500s before these and they were good but these are a good bit louder. The lows from these subs are amazing and really pound compared to the MTXs which only vibrated on the lows and made noise with no thump. I did love the MTXs but I got them used and they blew. I already had bought a sony xplod amp, headunit, and 6 1/2s so I decided to go ahead and get some xplod subs. I also run my music off of my SONY PSP so I thought it would be pretty awesome to have all sony products. I love these subs and hope they don't end up disappointing me in the future, being a sony I doubt it.
