(This does not include their older ES lines, which were actually quite good.) Their output is overrated ("1000W" in their marketing language is really just a 100W amp). Their current build quality is crap (poorly manufactured with cheap parts). They sound like crap (crank them up and you throw SQ out the door). And they are overpriced for what you get (for the same price, there are MANY other options that would run circles around Xplod).

It's true that you're not competing or anything and that you just want some bass to compliment your music, but do you really want to spend more for an inferior product?
