I get the feeling, its more aimed at the boy racers rather than the audiophiles....could be wrong though.

It's cheap reasonable quality gear.

If you really want a top class system, don't bother.

Hi Brasco

I'd go with the whole boy racer thing-cheap 'n cheerful! What sort of setup are you after? The Xplode range is ok-gives good sound quality etc, but it 'lacks' something. You could easily find alot better quality for not much more money. Nothing wrong with Xplode, just that there's better about. I wish i had looked about a bit more before i got all my stuff!

I stand corrected on the colour front-a friend of mine has just bought some Xplode Subs, and they're Silver.

Xplode aren't bad, just not brilliant. If a cheap and ok sounding system is what you're after, then Xplode is for you. But if it's good quality you're after, as with most things, you get what you pay for.

Xplod laters. When these first came out a few years back we were selling around 20 a week. The only downside to this was the return rate. It was aroung 40% within a month. Due to this we stopped selling Xplod's.

In my opinion stay away from anything sony in the world of car audio

I found my ideal brand about 5 head-unit purchases and 15 years ago

The wonderful world of Alpine

Yeah, i reckon Alpine are the best as well!

i used to have a sony MD head unit and it was great, was oldish though, about 5 years ago i got it and long before xplod came out.
as a screen saver a little fire breathing dragon used to march across the screen breathing fire and then get engulfed in a ball of his own flames!!!!!

I have an xplod 10" sub and an xplod head unit

The sub's a load of shit, the head unit is excellent for what it cost.

I got an Alpine too. Think it's the same as catgroom's. My only problem with it was I dropped the facia box and it broke the catch

Oh well
