Absolutely. My most important metric is the frequency response curve. But I still would take the manufactures with a large grain of salt. Most smaller computer systems do not get rated by 3rd party sites throughly, but if you are going to mount some standard non enclosed 6" units below the marquee most will have detailed testing done on car audio sites.

Mounting computer speakers is a large problem. I am not going for a retro look and had planed to have some small bose satellites mounted on either side of the marquee. I think the look would be attractive. Anyone else ever do this?

I ended up with the rockets, and thats overkill but I'm happy.

I paid $76 plus $29.45 shipping.  And they do, in fact, have a wired remote.  (This is one of the reasons why they were recommended in Saint's book.)

Ok. yes, at just over $100 these would be a good buy. Up to this point all of the ProMedia 2.1 speakers I saw had the controls on the right speaker and were listing at about $140 (which made me lose interest), but I do see some on Ebay now with the remote going for $80 or so plus shipping...There must be more than one model of the Promedia 2.1's then? One with remote and one without?

I did the logitech x-230 and cut off the satellites and went with something just like this - but I cut most of the plastic and turned them into a plate.  I mounted them inside where the marquee hole is, and they sound great.

I can't see these huge systems people put in their cabs. My stock computer speakers and sub get loud enough in a decent sized room that people would have to yell. (And why would you want to?) Certainly loud enough if the girls wanna dance. Or maybe it's for those of you sitting back with the hookah?

The CA system looks nice enough. Knowing that decent size drivers and enclosures mean better mids, that's what I look for.
