sony xplod

[justlearning]

well in my opinion which im sure is all your expectin to get from this thread sony makes good decks and decent 6*9 i have a set of the 6*9 in my car but subs and amps is a whole diff. story although they are begginin to make alot better amps surprisingly. i have three mtx 8000s 12s and an mtx 8100d amp and some other stuff im not gonna bother to type out all of it but subs is personal prefference really any top brands have their benifits and draw backs i would stick w/ rockford, infinity, mtx, jl, kicker, orions older stuff and im sure im leaving out some other good ones off the top of my head, as for the amps i love mtx but for the money the 500 or 750 watt bazooka is the best out there for less than 300 bucks i have seen and helped install many of them and they have great power handling ability and of course the price per watt cant be beat

Im actually putting together a complete Sony Xplod 8 speaker system for the IROC right now. The thing about the xplod system is that it was designed to at least be set up like a competition system even if its not of the same quality as a real competition system. If you only install the speakers without an amp or head unit, they will sound like shit. To fully take advantage of a Sony Xplod system it should be matched, with a headunit, amp, component speakers, and subwoofers. If you skimp on any of that, you may well be dissapointed because the whole system was designed to work together.

Personally, I do not like Sony at all. I feel they are leaning on thier name. I've had too many combacks so I dropped them.

I have alpine all around except my amp, thats a bazooka. i got the amp, 2 10" alpine subs in enclosures and all wiring for $25. the head unit and all 4 components were alpine when I bought the car.

If you are running big speakers even 6x9's and/or a sub get a CAPACITOR!!!!! It is like a huge battery and when you get some good tunes going it won't make your alternator work overtime and your headlights wont dim when the bass hits. It is a MUST for any sound system. It saves from alot of headaches.

[Savage Messiah]

Not really a must, and it's not a battery. it's just a power reserve for those big hits so that you've got an auxillary source for the audio power and those huge hits won't interfere with the rest of the car. You don't NEED one as I'm not running it, my battery is on its last legs, and I'm fine lol.

if you need a stereo like that, you must not have good exhaust

[Xenostalgia]

I didn't say it WAS a batter I said its LIKE a huge battery. =) Hence hits off that.

Actually, if your amps are effecient, you shouldn't need a cap at all.

the amps are bad, there not true power, the deck great tunner, get more stations with any sony than most any other deck out there. Have two 10" they hit hard so there you go my opionion
