did you just try and blow it or did you throw it out? you could have at least hooked it up to a wall socket...

hooked it up to a stereo.i didnt care if i melted the coil.if i had a amp that could give enough power to blow it at 4 ohms it would be gone.its in another room i just threw it..maybe a wall socket would be fun

Eh, my buddies have had them for cheap systems and they sounded ok. They didn't sound half as bad as you're making them out to be.

Most home stereos don't put out much power. Usually 100w per channel. Sometimes X 5 but still.

A 200w per channel home stereo amp is getting expensive.

What was the size of this sealed enclosure? One of my friends ran 4 10'' Sony Xplods all in seperate sealed chambers with no port noise or distortion. Another of my friends had 2 12'' Sony Xplods in a sealed box with no distortion either. Sure they didn't sound the best but they weren't half as bad as you're making them out to be.

Also what kind of power is the sub getting from your power source? The sub is a 4ohm load correct? SVC...

If that sub is creating distortion on 50watts RMS then it was probably already damaged.

im thinking u did not have that sub in a good specs box & no real power to it

also alot of ppl just follow what others bad rate a brand & just say its crap

have only worked with 1 xplode & IMHO it sounded quite decent & loud too

even after almost 2 yrs the guy i did this box box tells me he still enjoys it .....

I wonder if this guy is talking about peak power and doesn't really know what he's giving it. Correct me if i'm wrong but 50 watts rms is barely enough for good components.

Of course im gonna jump on a sony thread :-)

I had that same pentagon shaped sub, can't run it lower than 4 ohms or all u hear is feedback. I traded that one for 2 round ones (not sure of model numbers) now I'm only giving them 165w rms each and they definitely get "loud" and I can feel the bass. That's not saying anything for the quality of bass I'm feeling / hearing, but I doubt Sony would continue to make them if they were just straight up trash.

The distortion I experience with my 12" sony's is only on the lows. (15" Fi.Q Waiting for box!!)

"it made a awful noise"
I bet it's not running at proper impedance.

i agree with rovin...
i hooked up a sony xplode
on a sony xplode amp (supposedly 1200)

threw it in a ported box. it actually got quite loud in my friends toyota...

the sq wasnt all there but other then that its a cheap sub that can get loud if you know how to build a box.
