Value for money splits?

[Tasmaniak]

ok guys, I really apologise. I'm a simple guy. I really need pictures to tell you what I think about different speakers.

In my recent posts I have confused the Pioneer with the Rockfords.

If it's any help, after years of installations you get to a point where you just really don't care what label is slapped on the front because in the end it don't mean **** when it gets inside the harsh environment of a car.

From now on I promise to just not recommend speakers to ANYONE! I will talk about experiences with speakers and my opinons on different speakers but be damned if I'm going to recommend any to people!

Hey 12Volt - didn't mean to convey that I was offended Mate - apologies for that.

Just after a little consistnecy is all - at times you've recommended Response gear and good "bang for yer buck", and that was the basis for this thread. To see your back-flip was a bit of a surprise, that's all. It kinda makes my recommendations look a little flawed when someone of your experience refers to it as "crap". There are indeed many brands which warrant that, but I don't feel the kevlar Response series are among them... Maybe the lower end series, but hey - they truly are $50 speakers.

Anyway, to get back to the topic in question - I still consider the kevlar Response series damned good value. Shop around - you can find dealers who do better than retail, and they're bloody hard to beat without spending more money.....

Consider it a biased opinion I suppose, 'coz I'm running them! But put it this way - I'd have the tip-top shelf gear if I could afford to. If things go well for me in my venture, I might be able to sometime.

Cheerz, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. :drink: :drink: :drink:

Well I'm looking at the upgrade as well.

Here's what I have chosen to go with.

"Focal Polyglass 165 V1"

"Rockford Fosgate T162S"

"Digital Designs DDC6.5"

Any info

Also I will be mainly lessening to Rock and that, but all types will be played.
I do have the Phreddy mod

Hey bud....I've always been very consistant on my stance about ReSponse speakers. When it comes down to what speaker gives you the best bang for buck. ReSponse without a doubt. I still cannot believe that those things are are so cheap for the build quality that you get.

Everybody seems to think that I'm saying that the ReSponse speakers are the best thing since sliced bread. Well, they are not. Thats why my personal front splits are valued at about $1850 cost price to me. But who wants to spend that much on a pair of speakers?! Do I think my speakers are $1850? Yes I do! Would I think they are wortht retail price of about $2500? NO WAY IN HELL. Do I think ReSponse is worth the $150? Oh god yes! Do I think they are worth more? Oh God yes. IF they retailed for $200-230 I would still highly recommend them.

from what i've READ, the DDs are a damn good split for the price

You need to read a bit more then.

They are only the same level speaker as the RF P162S - and twice the price.

T162S would be the way to go they are a RRP$799.00 component... extremely good SQ and SPL

We currently have a limited number available for $419.00

Cheers
