I was at my local car audio store saturday getting some speaker wire. So I got my wire and was going to pay for it and there was a guy in front of me buying 4 12" Sony XS-LD127P5 500RMS each. He took one out of the box and I was expecting a cheap looking sony sub but no it look beefy unlike there other subs. This dude paid $349.99 each for those who can't add good that is 1399.96 + tax for 4 Sony subs how good can they be there sony. I see the guy that bought the sony subs every once in awhile so if I see him when he gets everything installed I'll let you guys know how it sounds.

dont care what they look like or how much he paid for them, they're still sony's
My RE8's will still sound better, and might even sound louder.

^^^That whole website is a joke. Who do they think they're kidding????




Again, it's all about the exposure to the masses. More $$$ on advertising and less on product. Sony is the master on that. $400 for a 12" Sony anything????????

see what i realised from talking to ppl who has sony stuff in their rides is that since sony has such a good name in other areas like home electronics \ cameras & playstation etc some ppl tell themselves well since its the sony name on a car stereo it must be equally as good ,thats 1 of the reasons i heard.....

Yeah HUGE mistake...I just modelled it and it's SPL output was about 15dB less than the output of four BTL12s on the same power input lol...not to mention the very low Xmax...

Check this out I saw the guy that bought the sony subs at the gas station where I was getting gas. When I was walking back to my ride I ask him how do those sony sound he said come over and check it out for your self. He drives a 2003 Ford Expedition with some chrome rims nothing fancy but it looks nice. He opened the back and there they are 4 12" sony very nice looking vented box for 4 12". He turned the system up and it sounded good and clear. But it should sound way better for the money he's got into it.

This is what he has.

Eclipse CD7100
4 12" Sony XS-LD127P5 500RMS each
1 Kicker ZX2500.1
1 Kicker ZX850.4
Kicker comp front and rear
All Kicker wire
2 Kinetik 1 under the hood and 1 in the back.

Thats all I remember right now but right before I let I said you could of got way better subs for less and he said like what I said.

AudioQue
Fi
DD
RD
RE
TC-Sound
Treo

He said I never heard of any of those names before. I said do some research before you buy but it's to late for that. But keep these names in mind because those subs are going blow within a year and buy some good subs.

Its sad to see people that trust every word that the salesman tells them. I was there once and knew that I would rather learn everything for myself than to trust someone thats trying to make money off me, and I am glad that I did.
