SOny x plode?

h82lose · #1 07-23-2002, 12:42 AM

Hey I just went down to walmart today and found sony xplode speakers and subwoofer for like a total of 100.00 Now I haven't shopped around yet for speakers but the color scheme was cool. ( red and black like my car) Now I don't want a thump thump system like that but I just wanna get more feeling out of my music ( tool, korn, etc) . Would be better going off to a shop to do it for me or is this pretty much easy to do with common knowledge. If it helps I have a 96 civic cx hatch that is meant mostly for autocross/daily driver that is going to get a b18c next spring. For now I'm taking care of the interior and exterior. Interior is going to be black and red and exterior is going to have a simple front spoiler with a fresh red paint job. Thanx guys

If you dont listen to music with alot of bass then dont bother with a sub-woofer. I'm not sure what size speakers you have, probly 6.5's but i'm not sure. X-plod's aren't bad, but alot of people I talk to don't like them. Just get some 2-way or 3-way component speakers, they are easy to install, 2 wires to connect. I think the head unit is just a wiring harness, but I could never figure out how to get it out of the dash, so I had it done. He threw it in for like $20. Good luck

crystal mobilesound components (6.5") for $99 at sounddomain. better than any sony speakers you'll encounter. still too much? get the Crystal mobilesound 2 way coaxial speakers for only $59-69

Component:

Coaxial:
http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/CRYCXE610
-or-
http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/CRYCXE615

the difference between the first 2way coaxial and the second 2 way coaxial is that the second one handles a tad more power and will respong to lower frequencies better. all for only $10 more. these speakers are truely amazing. one of the best band for the buck.

Cool thank you!! At first I just liked them because of the red and black scheme but those speakers you were speaking about sound great. I'll look into them thanx

My Personal Opinion Sony Xplod Speakers are ok... I think some of their subwoofers are ok...

I'm a fan of crisp sound and I found that in Rockford Fosgate I was very very impressed with there sound. Alpine are good speakers good but I was very impressed with Rockford Fosgate

yes indeed. they sound very muddy to me. i used to be like them because of the looks, but aren't speakers made to PLAY music?

yeah and besides, behind those wire thingy's in the door you cant even see it

Couldn't you just take off the wirey thing? So then you could show the red and black

yes you can do that (take off the grill), but then there are more chances of dust and other objects getting into the speakers, killing the voice coil.

WOW ... somebody is actually getting it. Looking nice is good, but car stereo is really about music - you know, the way it SOUNDS.

i would look into infinity perfects if i were you. or image dynamics. very good SQ subs. i had some RF hx2 12's and i didn't think they would be very good for rock because they are more boomy and not really SQ oriented. of course i had 2000watts goin through them during burps

or you can just take some Crystal CMPx2 and send them 2000+ watts and it'll take it all day long while it still sounds good

i would indeed take the IDMAX because its so beautiful. or maybe some Adire Audio Brahma. muahaha:finger:

heheheh i don't think that he wants to go with the brahma if he listens to rock.

and i was thinkin that he was on a pretty low buget and the crystal cmps. aren't that cheap, well neither is the idmax sooo. ah fuck it

95civicman · #15 07-31-2002, 12:41 AM

and while we're on the subject of expensive subs let recommend the w7. i think that should be good enough right?
