Impressive work,
How do you rate the subs?

HardCore!! yeah i was impressed they are 400watts @ 2ohms "apparently". I can post box dimensions if you need them.
They put out like mad and bass is clean and crisp. and goddam PUNCHY. Dual coils wired in series and yet still slams!!!

nice job mate nothing better then working on your own car

Work looks good mate

How much are they each to buy?

Looks very nice!
the leather looks good too!

I'm LOVING the response from my first public build feels good

LEATHER

Yeah the leather is good very cheap 30$ for 1500x1400mm
BUT
It was a right "mike hunt" to get to stick to the flex of the door WAY to thick.
will be doing the rear side panels int he same red vinyl as well.
And red carbon fibre wrap for the dash parts.

BOX




Dimensions top.jpg

Dimensions and graphs.

It's not something I would have in my car, but great work it looks sweet .

Boot space is 50% but is well worth it. As I'm a musician have to have to have it loud or louder.

Nice build.
Good to hear someone else rates the Response well also.

Have you used the response subs in your FTO?

umm, I have a history with the response gear so to speak.
But the fto has all response audio bar the headunit.

Rumor is that the Response gear is getting completely discontinued (no more car audio), so if people like the gear then they had better stock up.

FAAAAARRRRKKKK!!!! its such a good cost price car audio solution. I talked to my local retailer and asked to talk directly to the supplier to ask for sponsorship...
local computer shop - jaycar - jaycar corporate - dead end. I couldn't find the direct contact for response anywhere..

And you won't.
And you won't get sponsorship either

Response isn't one company, Response is splashed across a few items Jaycar sells.
The subs come from one manufacturer, the amps from another and so on.

It used to be all one manufacturer some time ago, but no longer.
Same with all Jaycar stuff, the 'brand' names are merely Jaycar registered and can be applied to any and everything that's imported through them.

The unfortunate truth

nice job man. that is exactly what i wanted to do to my car interior. i wanted to wrap everythin in red and black. if you were in brisbane i could so pay you to do it for me because i seem to destroy everythin i touch

Taiwo I don't think it would be that hard I was going to look at doing it to my FTO when I get it running I live in Brisbane too I might attempt this.

sweet. let me know when you get this going. i might come around and see how you do it

Hey just curious... Where are you from? I think I've seen you around campbelltown area
