I'm getting paid about $400 for my services as a junior AFL umpire this season just passed, & I dont know what I wanna spend it on. So I figured I'd enlist a little help to assist me
If you think I could afford multiple choices, there's the option to tick multiple boxes.

i'd get some PG Octane R splits in the front, a PG Octane R sub in the rear

and u'll be laughing getting rid of that Jaycar and putting in some gear from a quality manufacturer will give you some nice, balanced sound!!

Thats exactly what i thought NUMB..

You can use that Jaycar amp for now, then upgrade that next..

If u can get a full exhaust for $400 then go for it

I agree with DrEvil, nothing beats the sound of an 8

I figured that if I got $400 for umpiring I could stretch it another $100 - $150 to get the full exhaust system.
After some wheeling & dealing though, it looks like I'll be getting some PG splits & sub. Then I'm trading my current gear + $50 to someone I know for a new front bar off a VK. Not sure if it's Grp 3 or Grp A? What is the difference anyway? If that falls through I'll go ahead with the Exhaust.

Hookers

Group A and Group 3 front bars are the same. its the rear bars that are different. the Group A rear bar was the solid nice looking one.. whereas the GP3 rar bar had like rectangle sections cut out on the lower lip of the skirt.

spend the $400 to drive aroudn to local (and not so local) car audio shops, and have a listen to EVERYTHING you can, rather than jsut buying according to reputation/how well they get drilled into you on here... aww fug it, go get some DD subs while ur at it

[/can of worms]

from that list i say exhaust. i hav emy reasons.

We have one good car audio joint in town, they stock Focal, Boston Acoustics, Clarion, Alpine, JVC & Rockford Fosgate. I think that's it anyway. They have nothing really worth listening to on their demo board. Next closet is like an hours drive away, which would be at least a $30 round trip. And even then, I dont think I'd discover anything new. Not that I can be bothered to drive to Wollongong & back anyway. Besides, if so many other people like these speakers, I'm gonna most likely enjoy them too.

I was thinkin though, I could buy an SRx2 along with some PG splits. Then, I could buy a DVC PG sub, which would be run off the jaycar till I could afford a suitable monoblock. Seeing as my deck has a low-passed sub output, the jaycars lack of a suitable crossover wont matter. How does this idea sound?

Wasn't on the list but you could get two bottles of Jonnie Walker Blue Label

thats cuz johnnie walker is for ppl who have elead stomachs. YUK!

may not he the most hardcore stuff around but that new Cougar XS is fukin nice as!
