I put some sets of $40 door speakers in my old HSV and they were terrific. Some blokes I know and have spoken to that are more 'into it' than me
reckon its very, very good gear

Its the best value for money on the market (well it was 6 or seven years ago when I was 'into it' ). I have had their amps, subs (12" and 10"
carbon fibre cones) and split system speakers and all have been bullet proof and sounded great. I have loaded one of their amps down to 1 ohm before
(not reccomended in the manual) by bridging the amp into a pair of subs wired in parallel, and I ran it like this for nearly two years with no
failures.
Good stuff

I used 2 x 15 in response paper cone subs ( later i changed to 2 x 12in response carbon fibre subs) and a 2 x 150wrms amp for my sound system in my
old car. It went just as loud as mates cars with similar "brand" name systems that cost significantly more. Only problem was keeping the alternators
alive, even with a 13 plate bosch battery & cap i destoryed 2 stock 55a and 2 75a alternators in under a year
BTW: if you have your own "buisiness" you can get an account with jaycars supplier electus and get all the same parts that jaycar has but without
their mark up. Thats how i got my system on a 1st year apprentices wage.

i've got some 2 way 4" in the front and some 2 way 6x9s in the back and both were from Jaycar and I concur with VW rallycar. The jaycar stuff is
very good bang for buck. Half the price of soni/explosion etc and just as good a sound.

hi
jaycar is definately good value for money.
If you want a decent deck try having a look at
http://www.caraudioaustralia.com
I picked up my deck from there, as new, for $320 when it was retailing at the time for $999.
Alot of guys on there who know their stuff, good place to ask questions.
neways.. if you need anymore help, i know a bit about car audio so dont hesitate to msg me,
cheers, Matt.
