To the almighty car audio guru's amongst us.

My HR30 Paul Newman Version has ONLY space for 4 inch speakers in the dash and I'm not going to start hacking into door trims that can't be replaced.

What I need to know is WHAT ARE THE BEST 4 inch Speakers that anyone has experienced? Will venture into splits, but am limited to 4 inch size.

I am not concerned with the lack of bass as I have a 12 inch Pioneer sub going into the rear.

Thanks.

i picked up a set of boss 4 inch splits at strathfields for 40 bucks and they are bloddy fantastic, good bang for buck......... all the bits were included, including the crossovers as well ( rated at 180 watts too, good voice cone movement and strong and durable)

You may be surprised with the Jaycar Response 2-way 4" spk. Had them installed in my work van, running off head unit, with a 12" powered by an amp. Sounded great.

A few years ago they where tested against leading manufacturers and came up on top. Not sure how they will rate now, but may be worth a listen. Just remember, no speaker will sound as good as the display speaker when you put it into your car, as the display speakers are acoustically sealed, and boosted by a high quality amp, some places also have subs hidden behind the board.

Thanks guys, but I recently purchased a pair of Pioneer TSC1002 splits from Strathfield for $99.00.

We have a store in Campbelltown named Car Audio Excellence and the manager is BRAD. (next to Shell in Queen St)

I approached him and asked for a price on a set (pair) of Pioneer TSC1002's about 3 weeks ago, and he quoted me $105.00, but he suggested I wait for their 4 HOUR SALE on Friday 3rd December when everything will be up to 70% OFF.

So! stupid me I waited and on the 3rd they were 70% OFF, off full RRP $199.00 back to $129.00, but when I challenged the price he told me some bullsh!t story about OLD PRICES and he COULD NOT supply at cheaper than the sale price of $129.00.

The next day I found, to my surprise Strathfield was having a 4 day sale, Sat, Sun, Mon & Tuesday and on the Sat 4th December I purchased my pair @ $99.00.

I took the print out I took off the net to this BRAD guy from Car Audio Excellence, showing the price @ $99.00 and he said to me "NO PROBS, WHEN DO YOU WANT THEM" yet less than 24 hours before he couldn't supply them under $129.00.

BUYERS BEWARE ......... THIS GUY IS A CROOK AND SHOULD BE AVOIDEED AT ALL COSTS.

Cheers

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
