Are they? I was about to say good things about the old (almost vintage) peerless/vifa speakers I built as a home theatre setup, but it might be a completely different kettle of fish

the brand is Vifa "Cardio"? lol, wtf?

I mean, if they sound good, by all means, assuming the price is right.

Until recently "Vifa" was made entirely in Denmark. Now some of Vifa's products are built in China. They are still genuine Vifa speakers, but no where near the quality of the Denmark made gear.

They have just spread out a little and started building cheaper components in China to cover more of the market.

You still get what you pay for, don't expect high end Swedish drivers for entry level money at your local electronics outlet. ;)

the Vifa sold in Jaycar is reportedly rubbish

None - At the moment :)
you need to be a little more clear than that.

these aren't rubbish, and are the original Danish made Vifa.
Vifa P17WJ 6.5" Woofer - Jaycar Electronics
Vifa D25AG Tweeter - Jaycar Electronics

Where does it state that they are made in Denmark???

Jaycar have Vifa car audio listed on their website! - Mobile Electronics Australia

It appears that they have indeed dropped in quality.

Designed in Denmark, made in China, and not as good as the orignal Danish made Vifa speakers.

thats my thread.

Ahh fair enough!

perhaps the other Vifa drivers listed on the Jaycar site aren't made in Denmark anymore, but they aren't rubbish

Fair enough. How do the current Vifa speakers match up the the response speakers??

haven't even compared them because I don't really like poo brown speakers xD

the Jaycar site suggests that the "Vifa" car audio range are all limited stock... which either means they have chosen to no longer sell them, or can no longer get them.. neither of those is a good thing.

Hmm, i'm seeing nothing good about these Vifa speakers! haha, i'm going to go the precision response as I think i'd be more than happy with them after hearing them in a mates hilux.. I have the amp to run them with more wattage than him also
