I know everybody always says how bad sony speakers are and I know that even pioneer speakers outdo sony speakers by far, but I heard some good reviews about those sony pentagon subs and on those car rebuilding shows such as overhaulin or pim-p my ride i think i seen them use them in there. Are they actually pretty good or not? I listen to rock mainly and I want something that will give me a solid, heavy and deep feel.

I'm guessing they'll have the same problems as the Kicker Solobaric's. An odd shaped cone will cause stress points in the subs cone, causing it to break or stop working. I bet it's excursion isn't as good either.

I have a pair of these and I think they hit pretty well in my car, especially the new Ludacris CD Red Light District.

they are prolly installed well, cause i have a friend running 2 12 p5's in his car and he blew away my friends 15 x.x.x in spl but sq was way below lol, but the 15 was powered by a hifonics brutus 1500d and the p5's were powered by some pos thing..i think legacy

Oh, no doubt, I havent had them measured or anything, but they f***ing rumble in my car(saturn) and im running it off a sony mono amp.

And yes, I do know what other systems sound like, so I can compare the differences.

i have a 400W MTX road thunder amp and i dont want to spend too much on subs. the subs I have now are 8" thunp subs. I paid 40 bucks for both of them brand new in enclosures with tweeters and they suck bad. super unclean and hollow bass. I hooked my friend's dual 10" 400W Rockford Fosgates to my amp and those things hit pretty hard. I have a pioneer deck and to get extra volume, what I do is I turn the bass on the equalizer to -2 and the mid to -3 and the treb to +4 and then i crank the thing to 20 volume and i found that to sound really clear and yet solid. lots of Kick yet the trebble cuts through that bass like a knife and it sounds sweet. I was just thinking the Sony 12" pentagons cause they seem cheap enough and i heard lots of good things about em.
