What do you use, or are planning to use, to power your cab's audio?
rackoon:
I am just curious to how most of you are powering your cab's speakers and what kind of speakers you are using. Also, I have a few questions for any one who might know the answers.
My cab is half built and I was planning on using what I already have which is the following: 2- 90watt max 6x9s(car speakers)
Built in sound on motherboard (Its a new MB Yet, I don't know if I will Need a sound card )
Old Kraco 200 watt amp
Radio shack potamiter (yea I know its spelled wrong)
Is 200 watts enough to pump out enough sound in a crowded room?
Also, I might ditch my old crappy amp for a equalizer with a 200watt amp built in. They are real cheap about $15.00 plus $15.00 for shipping. Seems to good to be true. Any one know of theses equalizer/amp things are junk or not? One thing that scares me about these things is that they are less than half the size of an amp with the same watts.
Any way I hope that through this thread I will find out if I am headed down the wrong path or not. I suppose I could switch to PC speakers if I have to.

I'm just waiting for a deal to show up on WOot where I can get 2 speakers and a asub for $20 or so. No need to pump out volume for a crowded room, just for the two people standing in front of it. But I have my own Jukebox system setup through my stereo that does music so I wouldn't use it for that.

I was originally going to go for an elaborate setup with a receiver and etc.. but I eventually used the KISS method and just plopped in some PC speakers. Works fantastic.

Decent JBL PC speakers using on-board sound wired through a Radio-Shak potentiometer (or potamiter) works just fine for me.
My wife says it's too loud without adding anything fancy.

Same here.
2.1 PC speakers from Cambridge soundworks running on a soundblaster live. Subs in the bottom of the cab (can't turn it up past 3 or the glass rattles) and the 2 satellites sit behind a speaker panel underneath the screen.
Also has a handy volume control on a long lead which is mounted on the side of my CP so nice and easy to turn it up and down (worth considering this when you choose them).
