one thing i didnt find out til i actually bought and ran a response amp was the amount of current they use.

even on low settings my electrical system would struggle, and i never had a issue with amps in previous installs.

That's interesting, because if you are talking about the 4x100 jaycar digital amp, it should be much more efficient than a non-digital amp.

was the response amp more powerful than previous amps? If so then you're not comparing apples with apples. Assuming the same power output, there's only 2 ways the energy can be dissipated and that's as sound energy and heat. If the response amp ran a lot hotter than the other model (this also depends on the heatsinking area) then it may just be less efficient. However I'm doubting that this is the case, you'd really have to bugger something up quite badly to make an amp that inefficient these days, and they wouldn't have developed a name for themselves if that was the case.

And like ferni says, the digital amps should be more efficient with their current consumption than previous models.

Jaycar gear is great stuff. I would much rather buy a product that puts money into engineering it than companies like sony which spend millions on marketing, pretty pictures and plastic decorations on their products

Engineering? They go to China and say "that one will do, slap Jaycar on it and give us 10,000". :stupid:

They do offer good power for the $$, but shop around you can buy "name brand" amps for not a lot more, that offer better performance and re-sale value.

For the price you pay these things are at least 3000x better than the other crap out there.

It's true it's not going to compare to a $1000 amp, but you didn't pay that much for it, so it's unfair to compare.

They're built a lot better and sound better than a lot of other amplifiers that cost more.

I'd rate it!

Edit.....

And it your looking for some good splits are a realistic price, the jaycar response ones are right up there and can compete with those super expensive suckers!

Good luck!

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
