I purchased the XS-LB10S and the XM-1S with a Sony GT81UW head unit, thats right sony all the way hoping to reduce any problems and make sure all synced well. The sub performed well, sq was good but died 3 weeks after install. Im told it blowed and submitting it on warranty, but the amp is 290rms and the sub is rated for 330 rms – it should have never happened.

Looking at the reviews on the net now, the only 2 reviews I have found on crutchfield and sonicelectronix indicate premature problems as well. I dont intend to keep this sub, Im going with a ED SQ10 instead, cheaper and better performing.

Sony – you disappointed me.

I bought this as a direct replacement for my Sony speaker enclosure. I hope it last longer than the old one.

My friend bought on of these to go in his truck, and man what a bad sub, he payed $75 for this thing at wal-mart. The bass is muddy and plasticy at the same time, and 330w RMS 1200w max what a joke if you take the front numbers off you some were in the ballpark, the thing was bottoming out when we hooked it to one channel my fosgate (250w RMS). You can get a Lanzar MAX for half the price and it will sound way better. On the up side it does look kinda cool.

SONY SICK TO MAKING TV’S AND PERSONAL ELECTRONICS AND LEAVE CAR AUDIO TO THE PROS!
