I know someone selling brand new Sony Xplods for around $60-$80 for both. They are both 350W RMS and hes just dumb and bought them and now needs cash because of personal things. Is that a good deal? I was looking at amps for these and heard that sony underates thier amps. Would a 1200 watt xplod amp be enough or would 2 760 amps work? Could i hook up 2 760 xplod Amps in my car and if i can how do i do that? Thanks for your help |

or maybe could someone find another amp that would be sub$200 that would have enough power to make these 250RMS Xplods hit hard? I keep hearing the Sony Amps suck but what about these speakers? I tested them against someones Rockford subs and they sounded a little better with the same amp as the Rockfords. Can someone please help me out im a littl new to all this |

honestly, sony subs are absolutely awful.
so are their amplifiers.
you want something around 600wRMS x 1 @ 2 Ohms
try the:
JBL BP600.1 or
Kicker KX600.1
Then nwhen you ahve the money, sell the sony subs and look at upgrading to the Kicker CompVR 12" subs.
two 2+2 DVC models.
They'll be far better, and they are rated for teh same power handling, so it's a simple swap out on the same amp.

the JBL has two sets of speaker terminals just for that purpose.
makes it really easy.

ok also another question. these subs are 4ohm. would the JBL be able to pump a high wattage at 4ohms to both these subs ? about how much could it give them both?

two 4 ohm subs in parallel is a 2 ohm load.
that'd be a bit over 300wRMS per sub.
just about ideal.

what is the RMS power handling for the sub?
I believe 1200w is the max rating.
let me know and I can suggest an amp
