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.

Nice build.
Good to hear someone else rates the Response well also.

Have you used the response subs in your FTO?

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 4:04 pm

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.

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..

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:24 am

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.
