This is madness. Not to start a shit fight and all but all you guys that are saying that sony is crap and they have no sound quality and that they explode is a load of BS. I mean really, can your ears tell the difference when the subs are pumping any ways ? If I stuck u all in a room told u to just listen to the various tracks throgh different systems I bet not one of you would be able to tell the difference and further more I doubt one of you would be able to even tell me what brands sound liek what. In the end it all comes down to $$$. The more $$$ u spen the more |

i would stay away from pioneer except for their slits, and i would stay away from sony and xplode all together, thats my opinion anyway, had some bad experiences. |

DONT DONT DONT even think about buying Sony Xplode... Very very poor quality. with the amount of money you spend on them, you could get a sound system with much more power and 110% more reliable. |

Can't you see you have just simply said sony products are poor, tired of people saying that Sony sucks. I mean if you can go into specific's it would be great but just to say that Quality is poor (what type of quality, design, sound, price for value, components, tones ect ); the reliability is poor, well I totaled my Seca last year (total mess) the only things that were left together was my Sony gear. Everything else including custom box was destroyed, but the head deck and subs and 6'9 now rest in my house all working. Now to me that spells RELIABILITY. For any one who actually knows alot about car stero's e.g works in an audio shop some help please. Just because word on the grape vine says they are shit. BUT WHY ??????  Cheers

ok man here goes. sony is over rating its product, a headunit that is 52wx4 is in fact more like 18wrmsx4 this means that it will 18wrms all day every day and the only time that it will run at 52x4 is just as lightning strikes the unit and just before it melts into a blob of metal... sony makes good home audio/vusial no questions here, now what they did was enter car audio with out enough product development but a huge marketing campain, as a result they sold lots and lots of units that were of average quality. and by this i mean they have not so good anti skip functions and the longevity of the lasers..... also the sound processing side of town leaves a lot 2 be desired. the sound production sounds tinny in my opinion, with bass that is usually muddy and lacking definition. dont get me started on the speakers... cos they lack in all the parameters that make good speakers, poor power handeling, bad excursion, very in-efficient. now compare this with other brands. hertz and audison for example hertz make speakers. thats all they do. all there development goes in 2 making speakers. if they make bad speakers they go bust. audison make amps for sonud quality and thats all they do. as a result both there companys make top products because they specalize in these fields. i started with a sony system, once u learn 2 appreciate good quality then u will never go back. listen 2 everything u can and decide what u like... just like comparing an excel and a subaru one has got relyability and an amount of performance and the other has got nothing because they r cheaper on build/r and d is less and although there is the ocasional good one encountered on a whole they have a bad reputation sorry bout the long post, hope this answers ur q' nathan |

Okay... I feel like I am talking to a brick wall.. My brother in law owns a well known Car audio company and he refuses to stock Sony products because of their unreliablity! And also because so many customers who used to purchase the product off him found it faulty, poor quality or was unable to actually hold any decent DB's at all.. This IS from experience.. I have used the products also, and I have found them shonky and the sound quite poor in comparison to what I use now. I didnt say that all sony products were bad, just the xplode range! I have given you reasoning, and if you seriously cannot see what the hell IM writing because you cannot read properly, I will give you the guys phone number and he can give u many examples on why this product is not at all worth paying money for. Obviously other people are going ot have different opinions, and if the products worked for you.. then good for you! keep using the products! Just stating a few facts and trying to save you wasting your money. |

cant be bothered reading all the replys so it might have been said already.. sony = shit |

if you think the fact that your headunit survived a car crash spells reliability, i hardly think you have any idea whatsoever reguards car audio, sony xplod, okay fine i'll tell you the "specifics", they sound poor, they're designed poorly, they have poor power handling and poor excusion levels without distortion, they're cheaply priced because of just that, they're cheap, mainstream, everyday replacement but no improvment over stock speakers, and poor tones? what the hell are you on about, they can have poor reproduction of different hz levels (Which they do) but whats a "bad toned speaker?" mate, go back to high school if you think car audio is based on how well it survives in a crash. |

Yeah there are a lot of awesome euro brands out there.. you can also try Alphasonik. They definitely are worth paying their money for.. there are also a few other brands that have just been released in australia. Its worth having a look around first before buying into just any old brand.. do some research |
