Went and listened to the new Jaycar range yesterday... Hope this helps people if they are thinking of getting some.
New Kevlar splits: Woofer is crap. Missing a massive section of midrange. Tweeters sounded pretty good though. Dont know if you could fix the midrange by fiddling with the crossover (which looks pretty cool!)
New Kevlar 6x9s: Pretty good, would make superb rear fill. Its a 2-way design. Sounded pretty clear.
New Carbon Fibre subs: Awesome!!! Loved the tight clear bass! Am definatly gonna get the 12" (or 10" if funds dont stretch!). Can be reverse mounted as well with a sweet looking basket.
If you want a slightly more expensive set of splits, their 6.5" Kevlar woofer (CS2230) and their super tweeters (CS2210) and crossover (CX2640) sound awesome when paired together. A million times better than the new kevlar splits. The magnet on the 6.5" woofer is nearly as big as the woofer itself. They didnt discontinue these as they have been such a success, and have been their most popular combination. Together they sounded very clear, plenty of midrange (especially compared to the splits!) and crystal top end. Was very impressed. Would have to check if the magnet fits in the door though as its pretty big.
Their new amps are great. All of the higher powered ones have a remote sub volume control to be mounted in the dash which is very handy! Couldnt see anything about them that I didnt like. All have heaps of features and fully adjustable for just about anything youd want. They also are a much better size than the old ones as they are pretty compact, especially the monoblock, I couldnt believe how small it was.
If anyone else has gone and heard them let me know if you agree/disagree! :D
Cheers
Pete
