Many thanks Industen  ;D. Now I just have to figure out if I want the 5 1/4" or the 4" size. Oh yeah, and I have to come up with the funds for this. Very expensive compared to what I was going to get from therealbobroberts.

It can get very expensive. I wrote a Creative Labs Speaker hack if you want to go the cheaper way...sounds very good

I chose to run them though my receiver putting 120 watts per channel at 4ohm with a 300 watt BASH amp (4 ohm) for my subwoofer. Built in a 4.0 ^ 3 box tuned to 25hz. Sounds fantastic when playing the jukebox section of the cabinet...oh man you should see my home theater.  ;)

No, no, no. I have abandoned the idea of budget speakers now. Everything else on my cab will be translucent, so now that I know they can, speakers must be too.

The home theater is a whole different project. I may hook up the cab to the home theater and use it as a jukebox, but I wouldn't be running the cab speakers then.

I found the 5's for $79.95 and the 4's for $69.95 each in a local dealer's shop. I don't know which size I'm going to do with yet, but do those numbers sound right to you?

Update: Never mind, Crutchfield and Sound Domain have them for $55 a pair with shipping.

Turns out, Sony makes translucent speakers too, but they're red  :(.

This isn't for budget speakers. This will allow you to drive withever speakers you wish via the amp on the Creative Labs 2.1 system. It is rated at 4 ohm so it's perfect for car speakers. You get amazing results off of that little unit that's for sure. The added bass and lows of the subwoofer would be enough for anyone.
