You cannot miss with these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836150038 Just wanted to share my experience-- Positives: They have an excellent wired remote with very long cables to control volume and sub. The remote has a headphone jack for private playing. The Satellites are 40 Watts (RMS) and the Sub is 100 Watts (RMS). They are mind blowing loud Negatives: The Subwoofer is unshielded so you will probably need to locate it outside the cabinet. This was not an issue in my case, but it may be in yours. The bass is very "BOOMY" but can be Eq'd down . The satellites can be a bit tricky to mount as they have a curved face. I suppose you could route a niche for them, but I anchored them down using plumbers tape and filled voids with weather stripping which worked out very well. Conclusion: Do not underestimate how important speakers are in your build especially if you want Jukebox capabilities. The wired remote is another must have for a cab. Yeah, I've seen hacked speaker amps, but this baby is no muss, no fuss... I was originally going small with my speaker selection and I am so glad I didn't. These speakers absolutely rock and everyone has been blown away by them so far. Very impressive. |

Being as this is also going to be my multi-media and music library I went overboard. I have a pair of KRK Rocket 8 inch Studio monitors. I am going to mount them on the sides of the cab with professional equipment from On Stage Stands. With internal bi-amps they weigh in at 30 lbs each. But this is the best sound you will ever get from an 8" 2 way unit. Mind blowing. http://www.maketunes.com/articles/krk-rokit-rp-8-studio-monitor-review http://www.kellyindustries.com/speakers/krk_rokit_rp8.html http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/KRK-RP8-Rokit-Powered-8-Reference-Studio-Monitor?sku=602314 Only dislike is the yellow Kevlar cones. I am thinking about covering the face but I paid for the incredibly accurate sound these produce. Even speaker cloth will make these slightly less perfect. |

I got a 2.1 set of CompUSA speakers with a wired remote for $10 on sale and they sound great... well good enough for the beeps and blips in the games I play... I'm not using my cab as a jukebox or anything... |
