Jaycar Splits

[jnr_j]

I'm looking at finally putting a set of replacement front speakers in, and want to keep a tight budget.

I don't want to spend more than about $180-200 on the fronts, so I'm leaning towards the Jaycar Kevlar 6.5" Splits. I've got 2 channels on a Response 4x100wrms amp to run them off, so they'll have plenty of power. I'm not interested in spending $500 on Focals (although it would no doubt sound great).

I haven't found much feedback about them other than people saying they're good for the money. Given that I'm not running a top of the line amp etc, does this sound like a good way to go in that price bracket? (they sound decent to me)

Alternatives are things like the Pioneer TS-A1670S or the TS-C1602 maybe. I'm thinking the Response are probably the nicest splits for under $200 though?

for the money, they are probally the best you could get,

that or the some hertz splits.

ur amp is decent..matches the speakers well...shouldnt be that much of an issue for most speakers u choose...decent amount of power..

i'd prefer the hertz tho...

quality will improve with like $50 of sound deadener if possible...but up to u on what u want to acheive (:

good luck

tell us how it sounds

i answered a PM like this just yesterday

yeah they are decent etc. but they can he bought for like $150 from what i remember.. for another 30 or so $$ you can get some pheonix gold octane r splits which are very decent as well. good bright sound

I bought them and have now put them in, they're certainly crisp and bright sounding, with the 6x9s in the rear it all sounds very full and balanced now. For a while I was dissappointed with the extreme lack of bass coming from them, but discovered I had the amp high pass filtering (and adding plenty noise in the process - a think they're known for a shitty preamp stage) - oops.

$500 Pioneer DEH-P6450

$350 Response 4x100 amp (on special)

$200 JL Audio txi690

$170 splits

$60 cables/rcas

For a total cost of about $1300, am quite happy with the sound. Probably should have bought a better 4x50w amp for maybe $450, but this thing might be good for subs at some stage in the future.

Just put on a hacked RCA for aux input on the p-bus on the head unit too, will try an iPod tonight...
