About the Sony XS-L122P5
Here's something that will really turbocharge your sound system. Sony's popular XS-L122P5 12" subwoofer features a "turbo" design cone that practically eliminates standing waves for improved sound. Plus, the unique five-sided design (and five-sided center cap) keeps the polypropylene woofer cone rigid for supremely accurate bass.
This sharp-looking sub features a longer, 4-layer, edge-wound voice coil for improved power handling. The foamed rubber surround and triple-layered spider provide excellent cone suspension. With its fire engine red looks, the XS-L122P5 is a great package of cool cosmetics and hard-hitting bass.

Product Research
P5 Cone: This woofer has a five-sided polypropylene cone. This design stiffens the cone, resulting in lower distortion and higher power handling. The five-sided cone also cuts down on standing waves on its surface because none of the five sides is parallel to another.
P5 Center Cap: The five-sided dust cap also adds strength to the cone assembly.
Foamed Rubber Surround: The foamed rubber surround provides enhanced cone control and flexibility, as well as durability. "Hash Marks" in the surround provide added stability.
Four-layer Voice Coil: The four-layer, edge-wound voice coil provides plenty of copper to pass the current necessary for high power reliability. The voice coil former is aluminum for superior heat dissipation.
Inner Cap: The inner cap at the top of the voice coil former stabilizes the coil's shape and strengthens the connection between the cone and voice coil.
Spider: Dual three-layer woven spiders provide enhanced cone control. The lead wires are woven into the top spider to prevent shorting to the frame.
Binding Posts: The gold-plated binding posts will accept bare wire up to 8 Gauge, pin connectors, spade lugs and banana plugs. The binding posts are spaced too far apart to accept dual banana plugs.
Enclosure Compatibility: This woofer can provide extended bass in sealed and ported enclosures (please see the "Enclosure" section for more information on the recommended enclosures).
Sealed Box Volume: Sony recommends mounting this woofer in a sealed enclosure with an internal volume of 1.15 cu/ft.
Ported Box Volume: Sony recommends mounting this woofer in a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 0.82 cu/ft with one 3" Diameter x 12" Long port.

I have two of these subwoofers in my 2001 ranger hooked up to a 920 watt kenwood amp. I think for the price these speakers sound really good. I get loud clear bass. I would recomend these subwoofers to any body that has a budget but wants good sound.
