Sony head units are garbage...at least from my personal experience. And if you search on a car audio website, no-one likes Sony.

I hear those are good subs though.

Sony stuff is very overrated. The subs are decent though. They are loud, not clean though just really loud.

Sony amps are a joke.

Ive heard very good things about kicker subs...and it doesnt have to be the L7. Second only to JL in my book. I think the comp vrs are a really good bang for your buck sub.

Sony head units are ok.
There speakers, woofers and amps are a different story.

i was gonna trade my beat up/sh*tbox/parts car 87 supra..it barely runs, needs alot of body work/parts replaced..needs a new motor and trans, paint, gas lines..pretty much only thing that was in good condition was my interior and the exhaust system(cuz i put a new one on). My dad's name is on the ownership(cheaper insurance for me) and i told him about the trade and he said no and wont sign it over. So first person to gimme $600 CND for it gets it

thats a misjudgement, sony car audio products are over rated. As far as home stereo, gaming systems, portable cd players, walkmans, ect. are concerned, they are all very excellent.

ok....

Since we are in a CAR FORUM, talking about CAR AUDIO...most people would think I'd only be referring to Sony's car audio stuff. But maybe not. Yes, Sony as a brand isn't crap just their car audio products.

This is why I left these forums for so long, why did I even bother coming back to try and help out with some input again. Everytime you say something, someone has to come over the top and try to impress people. It's rediculous.

LOL, I only come back every few months to see what's new...

The sony deck is OK. I used to have a sony deck and loved it. I didn't know anything about car audio back then, though.

The subs are OK. Get decently loud, SQ is bearable (as said before).

PG amps, especially the old ones, have been known to be decent. That amp will suit your system well.

All in all, the components are OK. The PG amp is the best of the set.
