Jaycar Electronics splits, amp and sub. what do you think?

[BC8]

hey guys
one of my mates recommended me getting all out on jaycar audio
at the moment, i have a pioneer headunit with 6x9 MTX audio rears and oem front speakers.
Looking at getting a split 6" inch front speakers, jaycar 4x100rms amp and a 12" sub all from jaycar
Whats ur thoughts and experiences?

Jaycar gear = value for money.

At the end of the day it's all up to you because it's your car and your the one who'll be listening to the systme more than anyone else. So the best option is to go and have a listen to see if it suits your tastes, others peoples opinions are good and fine but really just comes down to what you like.

[D4rk4n63l]

its all about your budget too... sure the Jaycar is the best value for $$$ there is out there but they are not by any means the best.. if your budget only allows for jaycar brand, go for it instead of a well known brand name on the same money... I like their speakers and amps, but not a fan of the subs...

[tron07]

Nothing to shout about, but they are a value for money....

[Benson]

they are good for the price u pay for them..

im using the splits, dual core sub and the 4x100 amp. good stuff :thumbsup:

[xplod_accord]

Great gear if you are after something on the cheaper side. Best value for money I think. I have the Response Precision 6.5" kevlar front and rear speakers as well as the tweeters and crossovers. Never had any problems. Sounds pretty good.

[IZY-10]

those cevlar splits are great especially for the price. There amplifiers are top class, they are rated up there with the best from memory they came third in some competion.

how much is the jaycar kevlar 6.5" splits system cost anyway ? seems many ppl saying value for money ............

yeh they're good, i got the 6.5" splits, 4x100 amp and the 12" carbonfibre sub.no problems at all. i got mine off ebay, think the seller was employee of jaycar, so it came with all warranty and receipts. saved like 200 bucks compared to the store price.

[bigjo5]

i got jay car two jar car amps, jay car splits .. very good for price.. quality of sound is really good.

[schanmala]

i got the 6.5" splits, 4x100 amp, sony 1300watt amp. All good!!

[BC8]

you guys have the 4x100w digitial amp of non digital ?
theres two models
one for $300 and the other for $400

[Muzz]

im a big fan of the amps. I started with a 2x150wrms 3-4 years ago, when there amps were black, its taken a beating and works great still, built like an absolute tank. About a year ago i switched to there 800wrms monoblock, and it is supurb, Very efficient for tons of power wich is great for my civic with a small car battery.

[IZY-10]

i got a pair of 6" splits off them for $120 then again it was at trade price lol

[EuroDude]

Yeh Jaycar is ok for the budget conscious, definitely better value and quality than awful Sony stuff, but not as good as the American brands like Boston Accoustics and JL Audio etc..

[MrVi3t]

I recently got my jaycar amp installed the response series works fine man no problems at all sounds excellent..they are good for the money you pay for them so on a tight budget i would recommend them..

[Dell99]

can anyone tell me where to get the Jaycar splits in Brisbane n roughly what price. Went to JB-HiFi n couldn't find em

edit: found the answer

[BC8]

i went all out on jay
sound qualiy + value is pretty good
got it all on trade discount
splits, amp, sub + cabling etc for close to $600
:D

[davec]

hey guys
after the install, it seems like my car has a hissing/humming noise when ignition is on. must related to the wiring. was told that i could get a noise filter or somesort to reduce or get rid of that noise
how does that get fitted on behind the deck?

[incoming]

simple way to eliminate that is to run the power cable from the amp tp battery on one side of the car while the RCA, spkr wire on the other

noise filter can run inline with the power cable to the amp i think from memory

[Mitchman]

Take the earth off the chassis and sand it back to bare metal under it and re screw it down. make sure the earth is 100% before resorting to noise filters a good earth is crucial. and to the 800rms mono block owners. high five! lol theyr top notch spesh when speakers mated to the 400w 4 channel digital.

[nick]

No intention of stealing the thread but just wanna help anyone who needs it , if anyone needs any more response gear i can get good pricing for you boys, just let me know and ill get a price for you. Better than standard trade price in most cases depending on where you live too coz postage can be expensive if you want me to organise anything for you pm me.

Jaycar amps didnt work for me- turfed them now my system is all pioneer. and no probs yet.

But on the whole anything from jaycar is good value.

[-[NoS]-]

i just got jaycar splits... got it for $130

dunno where to put the crossovers tho

any ideas pplz?

[pkb0i]

i got mine inside the door panels, a good way to hide them, but harder if you want to adjust them. was gonna put em under the seats or in the boot where the amp is. depends if you want to hide them or not i guess...

[destrukshn]

under your dash or in your door trims.

[destrukshn]

meh they're okay.
yes good value for money.
but i personally wouldn't buy it.
lol.

[primus]

BC8: did you run the power cables and rca/speaker wires down different sides of the car?

I stuck my crossovers in whatever space/s I could find behind the glovebox (under the dash)

[TEGZOTIC]

Hey bud, i used the polykevlars 6x9s,,, were awsome especialy with the positionable tweeter,,, but the speaker blew up after a month,, also had the 4x100wrms amp,, awsome amp, prob with it is that it doesnt have a fan,, so if your pumping it hard it will only go for about 10-15min then u have to wait for the safty cut of 2 reset, and on a hot day,30+ dont bother turning it on loud at all,, wont last 2 min

[nick]

i have never had an issue with precision response amps, people who have over heating issues or power issues with these amps i sugest you take it to a car audio specialist cause even my installer who does over 5 installs using this equipment has never had an issue besides needing to re ground and re wire other dodgy installs. Otherwise maybe take the amp back to where you bought it so they can get it checked, as they should not over heat, they have a large heatsink and a good design although they can run slightly hot its nto enough to go to saftey mode.

Cheers'

That my 2 cents
