Heya Ppl,
while not really car tech related.. i'm having difficulty finding unbiased info on the Jaycar Response range of speakers... looking at maybe 6" splits... CS-2297, CS-2288, CS-2298.
anyone have experience or opinions of these, or suggestions of better speakers in similar price range or value?
magazine articles generally say they are good value, but personal opinions vary between good to crap...
so, whadda you guys n gals think?? worth the $$ or just cheap crap?
Cya, Stewart

i have never had a single issue with any of the re-sponse drivers. youll get nothing but praise from me.
i went way techo speaker shopping one day, comparing all the specs of the re-sponse drivers compared to JBL, kenwood, sony etc... and they either came up equal or better to the top brands (atleast on paper) and you know jaycar doesnt fudge its figures...
and for the price...youd be hard pushed to find better... JBL would be its closest rival in price/spec i think
cheers

thanks guys,
i've always been partial to jaycar stuff, bnut wasn't sure if it had 'Sonyitis' with good amps and crap speakers  (or am i mistaken there too?)
all i need is to be able to hear them over my car (Ed, you know what i mean  )
thanks again for your thoughts guys, i'll give these kevlar splits a go.
Cya, Stewart

I'm running the Re-sponse 4 channel 50w amp, 4" 2ways in the front and 6x9 2 ways in the rear.
They have worked fantasticly for what i wanted them to do, and i dont think i could have got the same bang-for-the-buck out of anything else.
I fully recomend them!
Craig.

I'll just say my opinion is from someone who works for the competition(DSE) and the speakers work better than most  of the ones we sell.

I have a jaycar response 10" sub and a 160W amp that powers it, and they both get my wholehearted approval. Best value for money ever, and decent quality gear, australian made too am i right?
I also have some of their tweeters, crossovers, and mid's!! etc...
Mind you this is all home gear, not car audio gear... But its all good none the less.. I may get response car speakers son tho, tell us what the splits are like if u get em...

I personally think they sound better then Pioneer and Alpine.
I agree, the best value for money speakers available.
Prefer Soundstream for Subs and Amps.

i'll jump on the band wagon here and say they are great. i have a pair of Response Titaniul 12" in my camry, and they sound sweet as. friends of mine have 4 and 5 1/4 inch coaxials in their cars, running off amps, they sound great too!!!

when it comes to the jaycar amps, only the blue versions have been overrated (the 4x50Wrms and the 2x100Wrms).
Both the 2x150Wrms and 4x100Wrms amps are UNDERRATED on their ability.
As for subs, it depends which model you are talking about, and what kind of box was used. I have a dual 12" box here at home that used to be in my old car which can litteraly shake things off shelves at home, which cost me all of $340 worth of subs, and the usual building materials!
The 12" DVC, "precision" or more commonly known "double mag" sub is one excellent piece of machinery. All you have to do is see what they guys over at Car Audio Australia forums.

Yup, I love em. I've got 2 6.5"s, 2 6x9s, 2 10", 2 2x100 amps and a 2x150 amp, plus the super tweeters, all good stuff! Sounds better than an awful lot of the other stuff, especially under double the price.
