alright guys!
its my birthday in a couple of weeks and im gonna treat myself and buy a decent speaker for my room.. but im seriously lost. i have no idea about all the tech stuff..
^^ I was looking at these on ebay as an example.. would i be able to link them up to a computer?.. obviously i would need an amp aswell (recomedations?) I need this all explained to me like a simpleton lol
Ill ask my mate for you, He’s got a bad ass system connected to his computer. What you doing for your birthday, anything interesting other than the speakers? 😉
look for some turbsound mids and run them full range, thats what im doing in my truck

wicked mate. i knew about the jack cable already. but thanks for letting me know. its just the voltage of the amps i get confused with. say i got 2 400W speakers.. would i need a 800W amp? does it work like that? .. and yea.. th parents hating it. i know what you mean. when i was at home i had a 400W sub on a hi-fi… the walls would shake like fuck. was constantly being told to turn it down.. but i live with people who love a heavy bass line now.. so i dont think theyll mind as much :weee:
Yeh-you-were-right-about-the-amp.–yeh-say-you’ve-got-a-500Watt-amp,
thats-250Watt-per-channel-(Per-speaker).

You-get-those-ebay-speakers-or-are-you-still-lookin?
still looking.. was looking at these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/600W-PA-DJ-SET-SPEAKERS-AMPLIFIER-ACCESSORIES-DJ-33_W0QQitemZ280243453490QQihZ018QQcategoryZ69967QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 but im not sure about the camouflage
dont even bother mate, what price you looking for, i’ll have a look at some quality ones for you in your pricerange, those ones youve picked arnt even 600w they are 120w!
Yeh-I-noticed-that!
thats-a-rete-rip-off
Don’t know what your planning on spending but a set of mackies might be good, I am pretty new to all this sound system stuff though so I am probs not the best person to give advice.
am in 2 minds whats to do-
where im living at the moment, it really wouldnt be convenient for me to be blasting out dnb on a set of phat speakers.. so they really wont get good use out of them.. but then on the other hand my mates in the middle of putting a rig together for some parties around brighton.. so i could contribute i spose..
grrr i dunno

If it’s just for your PC, have a look at the Gigaworks kit Creative do – they’re pretty good sounding, and have a good heavy sub…
You really need to work out what you’re gonna be doing with them first though, then go from there – trying to make them all things to all men is an excercise in futility. Work out what your main reason for getting them is, and use that as your specification for what you’re buying (tbh, if your mate is doing his rig properly, the last thing he needs is random bits of kit that may not always be there when he wants them 😉 )
