May 1, 200619 yr Author I saw those on Crutchfield but I figured they were a no-name POS brand. Then i looked at the price tag then I thought no way. Could you please link me to the one that you have for $250? The cheapest one on Crutchfield is about $350. thanks -headshot4819 edit: and im looking for about 100 watts per channel.... how many channels should I get?
May 1, 200619 yr for that much money, you wont be able to get the best or even real good, but you can get some decent merch. How many speakers do you plan? surround sound? subs? i would go with 6.1 or 7.1 like jedi says. 5.1 to me is just outdated.
May 1, 200619 yr If you get stuck with 5.1 go with something that has DTS (Digital Theatre Sound). Beats the crap out of Dolby Prologic shit. I'd suggest some Bose Bookshelves, like the 311's. I have a pair of older ones, and they drop as low as the 15in JBL's I have. The JBL's are Decade series 3v15 or something like that. Get a pair for 200 bucks or probably less these days. I have four.
May 1, 200619 yr Build it yourself http://acoustic-visions.com/ thats what i did... Adire audio is the shit and hey make bad ass subwoofer drivers. Jedi is right about the reciver... Onkyo is the best bang for your buck and are good quality. This is the sub i have http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofer_drivers/adire_tumult_15/ the Tumult pwns and has badass SQ

I mean he has 400 bucks.. and half of it is going towards his receiver... try searching on google. or check eBay out. I bought my car audio merchandise off eBay for a great price. Brand New. Might wanna see if they have good home audio deals.
May 1, 200619 yr if you like bass then i know the perfect way to have a car audio sounding system in your bedroom [ this is my idea and it works] you buy a 100-200 dollar - 5.1 surround sound system that comes with a subwoofer, then you cut the wire to the subwoofer [gotta unscrew it obviously] and then wire that into car audio subs or whichever speakers you prefer i had 2 500 watt pioneer 12' subs in my room and it shook my house and i can hear it a block away.. perfect for bass fans just a little tip
May 1, 200619 yr what kind of receiver Quicky Sticky? Would need 1000 watt amp. Also, It wasn't your idea because it is common sense...
May 1, 200619 yr it was a 100 watt amp and it was running 1000 watts, crazy right? well its my idea being brought to the forums and i never said it was difficult or not so obviously its common sense.. but yeah thought it would be cool to mention ::EDIT:: http://www.levi.cz/image/inspire-P5800.jpg ^ is what i have..except i have double the little speakers because i bought two of them

Different OHMS retard. Yea it sounds good now, but when the voice coils are trashed you're out the subs, money, and maybe even your reciever. Unless your reciever handles different OHM settings, which I doubt it does for 200 bucks. On top of that you are frying your amp/reciever due to the massive difference in WATTS. BTW those subs are a max of 300 watts RMS. GG stereo n00b. Back to Headshot, the little Bose surround speakers aren't very much, maybe like 39-60 dollars. If you have a good subwoofer it makes up for any bass you would be missing.

He can enjoy it for a few weeks if the volume is'nt pumped up. Reminds me of some dude in highschool wh ohad house speakers in his truck... Only time I hooked up car sub to home audio, was for about a minute to test if they worked since I bought off a shady guy and my receiver hadn't come in the mail yet. nice receiver headshot*Pioneer has not done me wrong yet, very reliable* Don't care too much for the MTX sub
May 1, 200619 yr umm you guys are idiots i had my subwoofers in my room for over a year and i put it full blast some of the time and its insanly loud yet no distortion etc now there in my friends car and theres no problems at all and hes had them for about a year... btw even if they did break id just buy new ones
May 1, 200619 yr on topic headshot if i were you id just buy a 5.1 surround sound like i got [see above post]... you only got 200 dollars thats not alot so finding good stuff for the type of sound you want will be tough
