Fark yeh $30 well spent, but I think this is about the limit of the factory speakers now but the new sub has heaps left in it Old sub rated at 150w new one 180w and just alot better general construction magnet and basket size very simular.Vol down to about 20 and bass at 3/4 it thumps bloody hard for what it is , any whoo just wanted to share btw this is what they look like at jaycar packed up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its only $30 might have to give it a try I mean who cares if it does nothing. Did the wire switch too but if $30 can make it sound even better again then hell yeah. Cheers!

I have seen many Jaycar products come to market over the years which have been considered very good for the coin (remember when response monoblocks came out, they were sick - their 12" Carbon Fibre woofers a few years ago also went well for the dollar)Thanks for the heads up J@Cheers.

(the old stuff they dont make any more. the new stuff is not as good as they seem to have steered away from focusing on car audio).well done mate, often experimenting is what gives you great results...

I used their Response Kevlar Speakers in the past and for the $$$ they were great. Not sure what they sell at the moment but if the little sub is as good as what J@SNOT says, I can imagine the kevlar speakers will also be 10 times better than the OEM stuff.
