nooooooo, not sony!!! sorry, when it comes to car audio i wouldnt touch sony, but that is just my opinion

Sony Xplod or Soney Explode? there is a diff whether there is an e or not....

I'd probably go pioneer anyhow.

i got dem pioneers...they are mad nigga dope...go hard

Pioneer is usually better than Sony, but without a price it's not as easy to compare.

sony is another word for #2's

Magnet Type: Ferrite


i wonder what else they could make a magnet out of :confused: austenite perhaps :bowrofl:

pearlite, maybe some cementite?

u nugget! im pissed

:D nice work, ive been studying all arvo and have had a few two, supprisingly im not joking about what else they can make magnets out of :/

same here breh!

mabyes outta beerite

cheers guys. they are xplod..i i thought it was same diff, but im a bit dosile when it comes to cars and stezzas.


thanx again, let u know how it goes :)

Is there a reason why the choice is limited to only Sony or Pioneer? There are other companies that make much better 6x9's for a similar price to P & S. Eg:

Boston
Hertz
Phoenix Gold
Vibe

Etc

arnt you using the high end sony 6x9s and comparing them to the low end pioneer ones cause im certain that you can get 98 buck pioneer ones which is the one in your example try comparing with the low end explode 6x9s heres the specs for the low end sony 6x9s make it fairer on pioneer

I wouldnt even consider anything but the pioneers, ive used them in my last 3 cars and they are the best value for money speaker, you will pay a little more for them but trust me its worth it, you will kick urself later if you buy the sony`s...

I always like to stick to what companies do best. Pioneer and Sony are primarily electonics manufacturers. This is a gross generalisation I know but I would recommend listening to brands that specialise in speakers. You may just be amazed at the difference.

To back up that theory; I have PPI speakers and really dont like them at all!! PPI make great amps though!

On another note I know that a lot of Pioneers equipment has gone down hill in quality recently. I'm referring in particular to their DJ gear. Used to be great when made in Japan........ apparantly labour and components are cheaper in Taiwan............

im looking at technics 1200's and vestax mixer to buy soon

but as for the $98 6x9s they're quality for how much you pay...i'm realy happy with mine atm

my bad kb i ment to say without.

lol no worries, I was thinking they're the most back to basics looking speaker I've seen lol

The new 330w pioneer have thicker rubber around the cone and have way more bass then the older ones

i like the sound of jensens, seriously.. and they are good quality for less price (with is generaly inflated just for brand name rights)

ROFL....

Tho i laugh, i agree. Some of the (if not all) jensens come with a chrome/bluish cone which has a slight wankish look, but jensens are probably the best 30 dorrah 6x9s u can get...good quality for less money...have u seen the cones fracture? :P

im not talking about the uber cheap ones, the 60 dollar set is actualy quite good, and still going hard in a mates car, amped 250 peak into each!

I got Pioneers m5 mixer... U know the mooks one. No probs there never given me any problems, Dunno where its made though.

I got the above mentioned Sony Speakers in My Magna and running them off a sony head unit and they rock.

I got them of ebay for $92 Delivered around 6 months ago while they were still on sale at $159 at JB HiFi.

2 tumbs up from me. (but again its personal choice + what i can afford = I am happy) :D

I think he has picked up a JB catologue. $97 for the sony 350W and $98 for the pioneers. Or was it the other way around.

haha, funny guy...1 dollar difference, DEAR GOD :shock: :bowrofl: :nuts:

Sure are and yeah the 350W sonys are cheaper, but $1. Or you could get the super duper Audioline 250W 3 ways for $37. :D

yeah i saw them in a JB hi FI catalouge for $97 or $98. im looking at these ones beacuse i dont want a sooper dooper blow your ears out...deaf in a week system, also my mum is gonna get them for christmas(100 bucks closer to extractors/ mags :) )..and she wouldnt like spending a **** load more on them.
at the moment ive got no idea what ones i want. the generall feeling im getting is that pioneers are better. im pondering getting the sonys, if they are crap i could find some idiot who will buy them off me, only cause the magnet is bigger which i am told is better!

maybe i should get both, parcel shelf would look odd tho.

cheers all..SamBO
