I have the Jaycar 4x130

Lots of power but the sound quality sucks nuts compared to my Kicker amps.

I am selling the Jaycar soon and getting a larger Kicker to replace it as my front splits sound like ass running off the Jaycar.

Jay Car Amps

G'day the question which i would like to ask is what is everyones opinion on jay car amps, Are they worth paying so much money? and are they of a quality which like Kenwood and fusion and stuff like that...

Cheers Guys and Girls

Jaycar amps are better used for running subs as sound quality is not as efficient as the better known brands, you should check out Crossfire amps they pump and produce awsum quality sound especially with crossfire splits! :laugh:

i can think of MANY brands of amplifier that are "supposedly" good that i would not even begin to pitch at the new jaycar amps. you really do need to look inside some of these mass-produced amps to realise just how far most big companies will go to increase their profit margins. and its going to get worse unfortunately...

i think the jaycar amps are about as good as they get for the money.... or you could scout around 2nd hand and buy some really nice older "less fashionable" gear really cheap!!! thats what i did! i bought my amps off car audio specific forums etc and despite mine being over 10 years old they're still considered to be pg's best-released amp (zeropoint series) they were worth like $3500ea new but i can assure you that i didn't pay anywhere near that for them! search for any old orion or ppi or phoenix gold... soundstream... great golden oldies... and lets face it who needs a warranty when you can see that you could smash them with a hammer and they wouldn't break!

      I thought DW was one of those things that people thought was the bomb ~10 years ago and since learnt not to use their stuff? Because it's not any better than a bunch of other options, and definitely worse than a number of other options.

      There will be wiring, preferably crimping. The whole "skyline specific fuel pump" marketing that DW uses is a lie. It's just an ordinary fuel pump with all the ordinary bits that come with it. You still need to do all the wiring that you would have had to do otherwise if you bought something like a generic Walbro 525 pump.  Other things to consider (based on my horrible experience using DW pumps) * How is the fuel pump sock attached? On my old DW pump there was no locking mechanism, it was an interference fit and after a couple of years of driving, the sock came off. I now have a random fuel sock floating around in my tank =/ * Does the fuel pump have an internal check valve? My old DW pump didn't. Not having one is a pain. Just another thing to buy and faff about installing into your fuel line. I wish it was stated on the product box/online description 'no check valve'. The product description gave no indication if it had or didn't have one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it didn't have an internal check valve.  * Consider the depth the factory fuel pump sock reaches in the tank. If you install the DW pump in the stock location and use the baby sized sock supplied, you will find yourself running out of fuel with like 15 litres of fuel still in the tank. + * Do you have any plans to use e85 in the future? Now is the time to install submergible e85 fuel lines in the tank.

      I have ad blockers and automation breakers (like NoScript) installed on all my browsers on all my devices. I have a PiHole at home and use other forms of DNS blocking to prevent the advertisers, and more importantly, the trackers from google, meta and all those other kunnts from watching what I do. They learn NOTHING! Or at least, as close to nothing as I can make it. I don't care if google knows that I'm searching for things. But they can get f**ked tracking my every move. Plus, when surfing donkey porn, the automation breakers help to prevent driveby trojan installers.

      New DW300 Fuel pump, new fuel tank lid, new plastic lock all on the way!!! I'll be on ramen noodles for a week but at least my car will have a fresh fuel pump in over 20 years! Thank you everyone for your input ❤️
