I think i'm going to buy one of these really soon...'cause the amp i'm using for my sub is grossly underpowered.

http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?...x=&SUBCATID=595

$159 for a single monoblock - pushes 240Wrms into 4ohm or 290Wrms into 2ohm. Fine for running a reasonable sized sub. Nothing fancy, but it will do the trick until you get something a little more expensive..

If i can find somebody else to buy one, only $143 each for 2+, or $127 if we can find 4+ people. You will have to pay me the $ before i go fetch, can mail it to you at your expense.

Easier if its in melbourne..

I'm in Melbourne. There is a store in Adelaide as well (and most states actually).

I was hoping to just buy at the same store and get the discount that way. I should probably speak to them and see whether they can spread it across states, so you can just go in and get one at the discount rate at your local store. I will find out!

It would be pointless buying from the same place and sending when i think about, as in thee end the postage charges would end up pretty much null the discount.

If its too much stuffing around, i may just go buy one, and kill this group thingo.

Here is their response regarding interstate..

To obtain the bulk pricing you would need to purchase all of the units in one location and one transaction.

So looks like i would have to buy in Melbourne or post off to interstate, making this more attractive to people in Melbourne only unfortunately.

hmmm, to be honest I couldn't tell you as i don't have one (yet) But i have heard they are pretty well regarded for what they are, and usually the jaycar/response amps are 2-3x times less than what the equivelent bigger brand name amps such as kenwood, Sony, etc with similar quality. I doubt it would be up to something like an Alpine, Fusion, or the like - but then again their bottom range ones are twice as much.

For that price, if its not up to scratch then you can always buy a better one later on.

Um, this is long closed, just so nobody tries to get in. I picked up the amps last friday..

RayT, you need to contact me to organise so I can send you yours..

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
