Jaycar Response 6.5" Splits

BADan · 25-08-2006, 04:59 PM

Has anyone installed these in an EF at all? If so, were any type of spacers/modding needed, or did they fit in nicely? Upgrading the stock headunit and speakers, and have heard these are probably the best bang for buck splits out there. For $150, can't go wrong.

Haven't used them, but I think I will be.

Having said that, here's a mob on eBay (I'm not associated in anyway with them) that have them for about $125 - $130 delivered, depending on where you are.

Also, see if a mate has a Jaycar disount card as you can get them direct from Jaycar cheap too.

Hey,

What are these guys like? I'm planning on getting the 4x100w amp and 6.5" splits, but would like feedback from somebody who has bought from them before.

Cheers.

I read on another forum, may have been whirlpool not to buy them from ebay. Can't remember the exact reason, but got it from the store for even less, thanks to knowing someone who worked there!

Ended up getting the 6" splits. 6.5" were too big and I just wanted it to fit straight in with no mods.

Hey i got these in my EF..no spacers needed.. Just mucking around with all those wires and hiding the cross-overs in the door.. Not 2 Hard

BADan · 25-08-2006, 06:21 PM

Cheers. I think I will get those. Did you put the tweeter in the grill on the dash, or mount them separately?

I mounted them on the door filler... These speakers are good value for money.. They will work best if u amp them..

I saw a thread around here recently about someone who made his own pods for some speakers which is actually pretty straight-forward and easy to do yourself, but can't remember and searching didn't help me.

By the way, the Jaycar splits are VERY good for the money. (but im not an audio snob)

I think i'll just stick to putting them in the original spots :nutsycuck To complex for me!

By the way, nice job on the speaker setup.

Will the splits work fine off a clarion headunit? 4x25w constant i think it is. I'm no audiofile, i just want to replace the stock rubbish with something that sounds a little better, and can play mp3's.

The pods are made from fibreglass. A base was made from MDF, then an MDF ring was cut out to mount the speaker to. I then angled the ring so that i faces the desired angle, siliconed into position, then got a stocking, wrapped the pod in it to give the curves and fibrglassed over that. Not overly difficuly, mainly just time consuming...
