Silver Member Username: CheapskatePost Number: 188 Registered: Mar-04 | you get what you pay for inam. personally... i'd rather pay $100 on a tiny two way speaker from a respected manufacturer like wharfdale. for $200 you can get a really good speaker. at $70pr, you're going to get crappy sounding speakers with flimsy boxes that resonate like crazy. you'll be hearing the box more than the speakers. cabinets are the most expensive part of any speaker usually. at that price... the drivers can't be that good either, but if "walmart grade" stereo is good enough for you... more power to you. if you go to a REAL stereo shop and listen to real speakers (of which there are MANY cheap one that kick butt) and purchase those, you'll have a more solid investment that won't self destruct in a year. a real well designed cheap speaker (i LOVE my $200 pr. NHT super zeros) will spoil you for hi-fi and you'll never be able to go back to cheap made in taiwan speakers ever again. do you want speakers that LOOK expensive... or that SOUND it? |

Silver Member Username: CheapskatePost Number: 189 Registered: Mar-04 | hmm... i just looked at the pic, and from the back of the speaker, it looks like the cabinet might be 3/4" MDF which is good, but that there's only a pic of one speaker and no pics of the drivers would give me pause. good luck with it if you do buy them and let us know if you got a bargain or shanked. |

New member Username: GoodoncomputersChocowinity, Nc Usa Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | i got a question on Vr3 amps? my friend got a Vr3 4 channel 400 watt amp and he needs to know how to bridge it to a lighting audio 12" subwoofer? |

Silver Member Username: DonaldekellyWashington, DC Usa Post Number: 372 Registered: Jul-04 | Athena B1s can be had on ebay and amazon for $100 or less. Tipped up high frequencies, but surprisingly good to my ears for the price. More bass than you would think. NHT do have a good reputation as well. |

Silver Member Username: CheapskatePost Number: 190 Registered: Mar-04 | if it sounds just too good to be true... |
|
Silver Member Username: CheapskatePost Number: 191 Registered: Mar-04 | bridging isn't something that can be done with any amp. it needs to be an amp designed with that in mind. even if the amp is 4X 100W, 100W is alot to drive a sub unless you want to totally wreck your hearing. i probably only use 1 watt on average with my 12" according to my amp's VU meters, but i'm not into bass. |
