I know i will be buying some of their amps cause of the price vers power
though i dont know much about them, except some ppl have said that CAA rated the new monoblock fairly well.

Mate I sell the amps and all the range and all I can say is that they are FANTASTIC VALUE FOR MONEY.
The quality is excellent, its not audiophile quality but it surely kicks Sony etc in the nuts when it comes to power, affordability & quality.
I've sold so many off em no wonder why !! They sound great and go hard once again if your on a budget they would be my first choice.
The Class D 800w RMS @ 1 ohm amp really hits hard, I have a mate using the 4 Channel MOSFET Amplifier AA-0426 ( 380w RMS x 2 @ 4 ohm)
Hes using one of them to power 2 x pioneer TSW305C and hes hitting 142 DB, thats without any tuning, sound deaden or decent size boxes.
The kevlar series of speakers sound great too and can really handle big power.
I love the new range !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like A has stated above they're not the worlds best amplifiers but then again Jaycar don't claim them to be.
If you're in the market for a serious amplifier (with low THD, massive power output and high DF and SR) then the jaycar will obviously dissapoint you. However if you want a decent quality amplifier that will see you through for now then the Jaycar amp range is fantastic. :)

The new amps are awesome, and I have one of the 2x150WRMS for my Morel splits, with another one coming eventually to power one of their 12" carbon fibre subs.
The 6x9s are fine for rear fill.
I didnt like the splits at all though. They lacked a massive section of midrange. Good power handling.
See my thread from when I was looking at them when they first came out:

I would look at some of the Speakers that Hertz has to offer in the Dieci range before going with the Jay car..
But it is something you can consider as everyone has said above, they are a Mid Level Amplifier that has great Value for money... Not sure I would go the Kevlar 6x9's.. would look at something a little bit less flashy as under stock grills it is what you want to hear that matters not so much on what they look like...

I thought the Hertz Dieci ranged sound a bit poor to be honest with you, but considering we're talking budget products I can understand where you're coming from.

I had a demo of them and for the Money they sounded good with a 50 W RMS amp behind them and a Good Quality Pioneer deck powering them, they have been designed to play straight of a headunit and will allow people to upgrade from Stock to something Less expensive then most others on the Market, Heck at $130 they are a reasonable deal..
I can't remember what headunit you will be using to head up all this ??

After Checking Some info on your head unit it is going to be hard to make a good sound system out of it purely on the fact it has one RCA output..
But it can be done..
Buying a Speaker Output to RCA converter and wiring it to the Front channels then running it into the channels 1 and 2 on the Jaycar head unit will solve that problem allowing you to amplifiy the front Splits and then Using the RCA output off the deck into Channels 3 and 4 allowing you to Low pass channels 3 and 4 to be Bridged for the Sub..
In this instance, I would not recommend Rear speakers ( I know it goes agaisnt my religion but with the head unit choice it seems logical)
A Basic System would be the following
Headunit: Current Deck
Fronts : $220 Splits with sounddeadoning
Rear : Stock
Amp: Jaycar 4x100
Sub DD1012 Bridged off channels 3 and 4..
