To the almighty car audio guru's amongst us.

My HR30 Paul Newman Version has ONLY space for 4 inch speakers in the dash and I'm not going to start hacking into door trims that can't be replaced.

What I need to know is WHAT ARE THE BEST 4 inch Speakers that anyone has experienced? Will venture into splits, but am limited to 4 inch size.

I am not concerned with the lack of bass as I have a 12 inch Pioneer sub going into the rear.

Thanks.

i picked up a set of boss 4 inch splits at strathfields for 40 bucks and they are bloddy fantastic, good bang for buck......... all the bits were included, including the crossovers as well ( rated at 180 watts too, good voice cone movement and strong and durable)

You may be surprised with the Jaycar Response 2-way 4" spk. Had them installed in my work van, running off head unit, with a 12" powered by an amp. Sounded great.

A few years ago they where tested against leading manufacturers and came up on top. Not sure how they will rate now, but may be worth a listen. Just remember, no speaker will sound as good as the display speaker when you put it into your car, as the display speakers are acoustically sealed, and boosted by a high quality amp, some places also have subs hidden behind the board.

Thanks guys, but I recently purchased a pair of Pioneer TSC1002 splits from Strathfield for $99.00.

We have a store in Campbelltown named Car Audio Excellence and the manager is BRAD. (next to Shell in Queen St)

I approached him and asked for a price on a set (pair) of Pioneer TSC1002's about 3 weeks ago, and he quoted me $105.00, but he suggested I wait for their 4 HOUR SALE on Friday 3rd December when everything will be up to 70% OFF.

So! stupid me I waited and on the 3rd they were 70% OFF, off full RRP $199.00 back to $129.00, but when I challenged the price he told me some bullsh!t story about OLD PRICES and he COULD NOT supply at cheaper than the sale price of $129.00.

The next day I found, to my surprise Strathfield was having a 4 day sale, Sat, Sun, Mon & Tuesday and on the Sat 4th December I purchased my pair @ $99.00.

I took the print out I took off the net to this BRAD guy from Car Audio Excellence, showing the price @ $99.00 and he said to me "NO PROBS, WHEN DO YOU WANT THEM" yet less than 24 hours before he couldn't supply them under $129.00.

BUYERS BEWARE ......... THIS GUY IS A CROOK AND SHOULD BE AVOIDEED AT ALL COSTS.

Cheers

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
