Is the Pyle Dual 10’’ 1000 Watt Bandpass w/Neon Woofer Rings Enclosure System worth..?
Is the Pyle Dual 10’’ 1000 Watt Bandpass w/Neon Woofer Rings Enclosure System worth $229
I blown my Sony XS-L10S Slim Line Subwoofer which hit pretty good with the amps I had(late so I'm not going outside to check the specs), would the Pyle be better than the sony or worse?
Don't say anything is better than blown, I'd rather save for a better quality speaker than waste $200 on one that isn't worth the money.
I am looking for Dual 10" subs for my truck, so if you think the pyle's are shitty recommend a few brands that are alright but not expensive.. (Kickers, etc)
Note I drive a S-10 ZR2 extended cab so how much space it takes up IS AN ISSUE!

For that amount of money, you can buy a decent dual enclosure and fairly good pair of 10" subs. You don't specify how much amp power you have to work with, but the Sony XS-L10S is SVC 4 ohm and rated to handle 330 watts RMS.
Anyway, I'd recommend this $25 SonicElectronix enclosure. The maximum depth (bottom) is only 7.5" and surely you have that much room to work with.

If your amp isn't stable below 4 ohms, I'd recommend these DVC 4 ohm Kicker subs at $83.99 each. Wire the voice coils in series (8 ohms) and parallel the subs for a final impedance of 4 ohms (same as the original Sony XS-L10S presented to your amp).

But if your amp is 2 ohm stable, then you'll get twice the power to the subs if you get the DVC 2 ohm versions (same price). Wired the same way - series voice coils, parallel subs.

Total cost: $192.98 leaving you a surplus of $30.02 for shipping or something. And the Kickers will positively be twice as good as your old Sony. And 100 times better than the Pyles.
You may also want to consider the Alpine Type S (shallow mount). They cost less than the Kickers. Alpine sound quality, reliability, and overall value just can't be beat.

These are also available as DVC 2 ohm or DVC 4 ohm. Choose based on your amp.
Pyle .... the name is around right .... pyle if $hit .... its garbage and for 220 way over price .. worth about 90 bucks used .... Sony is also cheap but they at least sound very good before they blow out ...
For the same price you can find a pair of kicker comps but id recommend cvrs .... honestly I usually buy subs used from craigslist .... if you go that route just make sure you test out ... you can get a pair of 10 cvr used for 140 or so with box ...
Pyle audio equipment are crap. So are bandpass packing containers. I wager those audio equipment and field destroy with interior the 1st 12 months. shop up and get some low end Fosgates and an honest sealed or ported field
