it will work and make sound...but sony mobile arent great stuff...

depending on how much you are looking to spend of course..

for that kind of performance, i would prolly pay about 150 bucks total

Default What's your budget?

Agree 16psibrick, I personally don't like Sony audio. Let us know how much do you have planned to expend and I can tell you what would i buy.

Some people just have a thing for sound...personally i love surround sound or something along those lines. It's awesome to hear. i spent over 5k on my stereo and i wouldnt have had it any other way. i absolutly love it.

as for sony...they are definitly not one of the best availible but it depends on your budget.

For $500 - $700 I will go with 2 x JL 10W6s, JL 500/1 + Zenclosure.

I had MTX before and they are fine, not the best but good. look at the CTR series.

Sony does make an awesome tv. I bought a 60" LCD about a year ago and the thing is amazing. The only sony audio product i have is two floor speakers with dual 6.5" woofers and a tweeter. For the pair they were like $320 but they sound awesome for the money. Sony mobile audio though I wouldnt even consider.

was looking to get myself a system and wanting to spend from 500 to 700 on it. i figured 1 10 or 1 12 with a zenclosure box cuz 2 10s would run me up a bit too much since 2 speakers and amp would have to pump out more and i was thinking that a 12 would do just a well as 2 10s but im not sure so thats why i reachin out to for opinions figured i want jl audio stuff if you think its possible on that budget. lemme know what u guys think and thx in advance. oh and i listen to a little bit of everything as far as music goes. and as for the hu i have the non bose system and i dont really WANT to upgrade cuz i wanna keep the system as stock looking as possible but dont want the stealth box either and ive got real dark tints so i can hide the gear in the back but if you audio gurus feel its necessary to upgrade it let me know also

You'll love it and you can always upgrade. In fact, you may not want to upgrade.
