Looking for a sub for the civic. I can get an XPLOD or JBL 12" for a pretty good price. Is it worth getting either one or are they junk?
If so, what should I get?

Nooo dont get Sony speakers, they are overpriced and sound terrible.
JBL are better, but you are better off getting a decent brand such as Boston Accoustics, Adire, Kicker, JL Audio, etc..
Oh so true:thumbsup:Quote:

out of those 2 definately the jbl but if u look around brands like JL audio, kicker, boston, focal etc have even better products depending on if ur after SPL or SQ and how much ur willing to spend.
Basically, the speakers/amps Strathfield Car Radios sell, dont buy it :p
...although there are exceptions, some of the expensive pioneer stuff is apparently ok. And most the head units are fine.
A general rule is that if a company produces a huge range of products such as sony (they make hifi's, tv's, playstation, laptops, optical drives, etc..), they dont dedicate themselves to produce decent speakers.
im not looking for competition gear just that extra bass. really dont want to spend a lot of money on a sub if im not going to do the whole system - and im not enough of an audiophile to spend that kind of money.
sounds like a win for JBL tho - comments seem to mirror what ive been hearing
yeh JBL is ok.
If you want bang for your buck, have a look at the Adire subs. Its pretty much a no-name brand, but they are US based and make damn good and affordable subs, rivelling brand-name subs that are double the price.
http://www.acousticconcepts.com.au/product.html sell them in Aus.
Alpine or JBL! i got my Alpine Type S 12" hooked upto a JBL 300w RMS monoblock amp! does the trick for cruising =)
