Re: Car Audio (Jaycar Subs)
I'm LOVING the response from my first public build feels good
....SUBS $250 each they have been discontinued from Jaycar but still available around the place.
they were 4ohms not 2ohms as i stated ^^ hence the good crisp sound at high wattage
Specifications:
- Power Handling: 300WRMS
- Impedance: 4ohms (dual voice coil)
- Voice Coil Resistance (Re): 1.7ohm
- Mechanical Q Factor (Qms): 3.238
- Electrical Q Factor (Qes): 0.446
- Total Q Factor (Qts): 0.392
- Equivalent Volume (Vas): 79.454Ltr
- Sensitivity: 88.152dB/Wm
- BL: 9.992 TM
- for: 28.77Hz
- Sd: 514.72 sqCM
LEATHER
Yeah the leather is good very cheap 30$ for 1500x1400mm
BUT
It was a right "mike hunt" to get to stick to the flex of the door WAY to thick.
will be doing the rear side panels int he same red vinyl as well.
And red carbon fibre wrap for the dash parts.

Boot space is 50% but is well worth it. As I'm a musician have to have to have it loud or louder.

Re: Car Audio (Jaycar Subs)
umm, I have a history with the response gear so to speak.
But the fto has all response audio bar the headunit.
Rumor is that the Response gear is getting completely discontinued (no more car audio), so if people like the gear then they had better stock up.

Re: Car Audio (Jaycar Subs)
FAAAAARRRRKKKK!!!! its such a good cost price car audio solution. I talked to my local retailer and asked to talk directly to the supplier to ask for sponsorship...
local computer shop - jaycar - jaycar corporate - dead end. I couldn't find the direct contact for response anywhere..

Re: Car Audio (Jaycar Subs)
And you won't.
And you won't get sponsorship either
Response isn't one company, Response is splashed across a few items Jaycar sells.
The subs come from one manufacturer, the amps from another and so on.
It used to be all one manufacturer some time ago, but no longer.
Same with all Jaycar stuff, the 'brand' names are merely Jaycar registered and can be applied to any and everything that's imported through them.
