I dont think you will find many people on this forum that have anything positive to say about xplod products. I have never heard a xplod setup that I thought was very good. They are ok if your on a really strict budget, but other then that I would recommend staying away.

sony's as far as i'm concerned are budget subs. if you need bass, and don't have much cash, go ahead. the quality just isn't there for me. they are poorly built.

Man... Don't worry about the sub's. I have two 12" P5's pounding from my Kenwood 920w amp. The only problem I would see in your set is your amp. Sony doesn't make that great of an amp. They are usually weak for they wattage. But believe me, I'm an enthusiast of any Sony brand electronics. I tested & tested it, but it couldn't keep up with anything.

Don't let anyone, even me, decide if your system sounds good, or is crap. It's what it sounds like to you.

Pioneer DEH-15 HU.

Two Sony 12" P5's. (Sealed Box)

Kenwood 920watt KAC-7202.

Kenwood 350watt 6"x9" KFC-M6935ie.

Kenwood 320watt 5"x6 1/2" KFC-415c.

Sound-proof, and it's complete.

Wow, Auiobahn and Sony enthusiasts! Quite a combination!

Look I don't look to knock peoples equipment. Weather it's what you can afford or you like the sound or looks, fine. But just know that sony has one of the highest failure rates in the car audio industry. So with that said I would consider other alternatives that are similar in price but last longer and perform better.

It seems that gear that emphasizes form over function, doesn't function for long and/or well.

sony isn't too bad for the price, and it is probably better than rockfords cheaper stuff, but i havn't heard a system in a while, a long while, including another shops rockford demo car that has been louder than my two kicker comp 12's and 200 watts. thats 100 watts each. i work at a kicker dealer, and put their cheapest subs in my own car to show what they can do.
