overhauling my civic's sound system?

Q. i have a 1995 Honda civic EX with a pathetic sound system. I don't really know what to look for in overhauling it, so can anyone tell me about how much it would cost to get an entirely new sound system? also, what brands should i be looking at?

Answer
haha stock civic systems SUCK. my stock speakers would squeak if i put the volume over half way up lol

if by a new sound system you mean just speakers and a deck, then you're looking at around $400-500
if you want to do a REAL system (sub, amps, head unit, and speakers), you're looking at around $1500 to really BEAT

for speakers, good brands are: kicker (the higher lines), infinity kappa, alpine type r, mb quartz
head units: pioneer and alpine make the best ones, period.
monoblock amp (for the sub): kicker (awesome amps, a little pricey though), the elemental designs nine.1 is amazing, but only if you need a lot of power. alpine and jl audio also make good amps, but theyre also expensive
4 channel amps (to power the speakers): pretty much the same brands as above
sub(s): good mainstream brands=kicker, alpine, jl audio (overly expensive), less mainstream brands (way better subs)= RE audio, Fi audio, and orion

basically, just stay away from crappy brands like dual, sony, boss, pyle (of s**t as i call them), and other cheap stuff. you really get what you pay for in car audio

dont forget about all the wiring too, thats kind of essential in a sound system lol. and you want to get a custom built sub box if you can, it'll make the sub sound WAY better than any pre-fab box.
stock civic batteries suck, you'll want to get an optima yellowtop battery if you get a real system pulling over 500 watts rms

good luck :)

What kind of speaker system should i get?

Q. Got a weddin comin up in over a year instead of hiring a DJ i think itll be easier to just buy a speaker system ourselves cause we can use them later on. but im not big on knowledge of what is needed to do something like this. it doesnt have to be loud loud. enough so the whole park can hear it though. maybe max 200 people there talking laughing playing. so what do you recommend and what kind of gear would i need? links will be a great help. there isnt much of a spending limit. but no more than 1500 would be nice. this is mainly for reception. so links and gear needed.

Answer
You can do it for less than $1500 USD,

You will need a mic, mixer and two powered speakers with stands.

Mic:

Surround Speaker Systems?

galea_step

What would you suggest as speaker setup to be coupled with (5.1 or 6.1for now) AV RECIVER - 120 W for 7 Channels at 8 ohms
(Eigheter Yamaha RX-V1600 or ONKYO TX-SR803E or Denon AVR 2807 or Denon AVR-3806)

SPEAKER SETUP INCLUDING SUB NOT TO EXCEED 700 GBP.
Preferable not less then 88Db speakers, include a sub of not less then 200W Rms.
First of all I thank you all for providing me with such info. I wanted to include that I live in Malta, and here we are limited with the choices of brands.

As a reciever I am more opting for the denon AVR 2807 and the Yamaha RV-1600.
Speaker setup I was considering locally are Mission M series and the acoustic-energy - aegis series.
What do you think?

Answer
I think the best thing to do is to go to a good home theater store and listen to some good Home theater speakers, also look up some others home theater set ups.People when they ask about speakers usually come up with the same ole names in speakers, JBL ,POLK, etc .There are plenty of good ones out there like Mirage (which i have),MB QUART,FOCAL
http://www.hometheatermag.com/loudspeakers/904mbquart
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-n6264eLEXve/cgi-bin/prodgroup.asp?g=12700&pg=
Mirage
http://www.miragespeakers.com/v2/
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/
Most of these speakers you'll find online , in Tweeter, or if your lucky Best Buy, not the regular bwest buy but Best Buy MAgnolia store, they carry the high end stuff that the normal ones dont carry so check it out have fun.
Hope you pick the DENON a/v reciever i bought the denon avr 2603 last year with the Mirage omistat speakers for my BEDroom, will pick up 2807 for livimg room

Where can i get thoughs awesome speaker systems for my car?

mutha goos

I want my car to have one of thos awesome audio systems that throughout the entire car. in the trunk back seats and hat not. and subwoofers. but i dont know where to get them. iv looked online and all i see is the speakers themselves. i want the awesome setup in the trunk with all the lights and speakers as well but i dont know where to get it can u help?

heres example of what im talkin about
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_toznJ3Ca9ds/SJ7aS1gELFI/AAAAAAAACaA/YUmNZdvDekc/s400/multiple+car+audio+stereo+systems.jpeg


http://www.dailycaraudio.com/wp-content/uploads/car-audio-jl-audio.jpg

Answer
haha if you really wanna drop well over 3 grand on a car that looks like that when it's done thats your call but you cant just find full trunk molds online and if you can then the power to you

what you need to do is first decide how much you want to spend on the entire thing (trust me it adds up FAST)

then decide what you want to buy first (i'd suggest a head unit then an amp untill you blow factory speakers haha then you knida HAVE to get new speakers but thats just me)

then new speakers (again decide how much you wan't to spend and how loud you want them to be

then probably the subs.

and make sure neon is street legal where you live, it's illegal in a LOT of places trust me.

Need some guidance on buying house speakers?

Q. So I don't really know much about audio equipment. But our house will be throwing a bunch of pregames and parties over the course of the next year at college and our surround sound speakers just aren't cutting it. I looked around on different forums but could really get a clear answer. Basically looking for speakers that will be loud (played outside on the porch etc.), sound decent, and won't blow out. Would it be worth it to get active speakers or do passive speaker setups have a decent price break. Our budget is likely about $400. Thanks for any help, guidance, advice, horror stories you can provide.
So would this setup be sufficient to simply play music off an ipod or computer and be able to completely fill up a moderate sized room?

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Phonic-Powerpod-820---S712-PA-Package-502578-i1469200.gc

Answer
Unless you go upmarket active speakers are of low quality for the money you pay but they can be convenient and you don't have to get another amp.
Main reason speakers blow out is through using high volumes on amps that have a dirty output that way or playing dirty inputs through them.
Dirt means harmonics muck in the signal..
All amps have a rated output power. Some amps have an honest one.
Some amps are rogues. The spec says 400 watts output but not how that figure was arrived at.
Stay away if you want 400 watts you can use.
If it says
400 watts RMS continuous rated output power at less than 0.1%THD from 30 -15 000 Hz (plus/minus 3dB) @8 ohms
Then you know what the 400 watts means.
THD is Total Harmonic Distortion. Harmonics can be baddies.
If it says just 400 watts or 400 watts at 4 ohms with no more info they're likely hiding the truth and that is likely to be 400 watts measured at 1000Hz peak power instead of being measured over the whole spectrum at RMS value.
It says nothing about the power available at 80HZ or 8000Hz or whether any power at all is available at all at those frequencies or whether it's running at 20% THD at 30 hz at full power but some guy reading it says
WoW
At low THD it might only have 60 useful watts for a really bad amp quoted as 400 watts.
If the figures are properly quoted in full you know you have a decent amp.
.
RMS means Root Mean Square and it shouldn't really be applied to power, only to voltage.
RMS value is the square root of 2 divided into the peak value of a sine wave which works out at 0.707 of the peak value.
120v on your house wiring is 120v RMS. That's the level it would have if it was a continuous DC current instead of a sine wave going from zero to max 60 times a second, so it's an average value..
RMS is 120v so the max is the square root of 2 times 120v which is
1.414 x 120v = 170v
Quoting 170v for the mains voltage gives you a false idea of how much power there is available and so does quoting peak power as a stand-alone figure on amplifiers.

There are two ways to go with amplifiers.
Home hifi stereo amps give excellent quality but can be expensive for high powers, 100 watts and above
You can use indoor and outdoor speakers with them and they have a load of inputs for CD, tape etc.
Vintage types can have very good sound and go for peanuts compared to buying new stuff.
One of my amps is an Acoustic Research pre and power amp combo, and I have the matching tuner and CD player all found separately in in Cash Converter branches for a total of under $400
Amps for gigs and PA systems like the excellent Peavy amplifiers are made in high powers and can give a good quality sound with suitable speakers. A used one from a music shop can be a good investment

Most amps use speakers from 4 -16 ohms.
Ohms is a measure of resistance for DC and impedance for AC.
The quoted ohms on speakers is a nominal or average value since impedance depends on frequency.
At low frequencies it goes low and with less impedance (resistance) right where any low frequency harmonics are present the current goes high putting too much power through the box and that's burnt coil or busted cone land and the output stage of the amp won't like it either when it's suddenly asked to provide more power than it can safely handle.
Most decent amps have protection circuits for all kinds of stuff but it's best to stay away from dirty outputs.
Buy good quality speakers with strong cones and properly rated voice coils fit for the job..

Amplifiers have a damping factor. At low ohms it gets smaller which isn't so good.
With 8 ohms speakers the amp will have about twice the damping factor as at 4 ohms and they will give the amp an easier load but at 4 ohms the amp can push out more power than at 8ohms.
In theory it's twice as much but in practice it's less.
A 100 watt amp at 8 ohms might give you 160-180 watts at 4 ohms but it varies with each model
.
The sensitivity tells you how loud a speaker goes.
For outdoors, high sensitivity speakers are best, 100dB or more for one watt input at 1Khz measured at 1 meter on axis.

The wattage rating tells you how power much the speakers can handle.
Having speakers rated much higher than the amp is a safe policy if you run the amp at high levels on the volume control so for a 100 watt amp get 150 watt or higher speakers.
Safer though for 100 watts output is to get a 150 watt amp and always run it well below the top level and then 100 watt speakers will be much happier with the cleaner signal they get, free of harmful harmonics, and 150 watt speakers will be even happier with a 100 watts output from a 150 watt amp than with the top level of a 100 watt amp.
Running a 140mph car at 140mph all the time will soon run it into the ground, and sooner on rough bumpy ground.
Same with amps and speakers, run them well within their limits for cool running and a longer life.

EDIT
Yup, no prob

How can I hook up outdoor speakers without an amp or receiver?

CokeThief

I'm looking into a pair of outdoor speakers or around our pool, but I'm not sure what I need to get them to work. I don't want to plug them into a home theater system, I just want to be able to play from an iPod. Is there some kind of adapter I can buy to connect to the speaker cable.

Answer
You need to buy some amplified speakers. Most amplified speakers will have a 1/8" jack input, which should plug into the headphone outputs of most mp3 players (including an iPod).

There are lots of these kinds of speakers available ranging in a wide range of prices. Just Google outldoor amplified speakers and you can see which one fits your budget.

What is the best wireless speaker system?

Q. Right now, I have computer connected to a projector and 2 regular speakers for computer and plus 2.1 speakers including Sub-woofer all connected and it works very well,. Sounds pretty awesome.

But I wonder about a wireless Multi-speakers.
I'm thinking if there is such a thing like "wireless speakers that connect to sub woofer , something like that."

thinking like
"sub woofer connect to computer and ac outlet and then wireless speakers connected to sub woofer so I can move around the speakers.
is there such a think like that? or what is the best thing you can suggest similar to that.

Answer
Speakers need power. This means power comes from an amplifier and is delivered by speaker cables, or the speakers have a circuit inside which includes a wireless receiver and an amplifier. This in turn means each speaker needs more power than a conventional speaker, which in turn means either battery power or mains power. The louder you want to play the system the more power is required too.

Making speakers with wireless receivers and amplifier circuits and some sort of power source built in to each one is very expensive compared to simple and cheap-to-produce conventional PC speakers. It also makes for larger speakers. Most people don't appreciate why the speakers have to be larger and way more expensive, so wireless is a nice idea but often considered too expensive for "just some PC speakers".

There are some half-way-house solutions: The Rocketfish⢠- Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit for example. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-universal-wireless-rear-speaker-kit-black/8275528.p?id=1171058476489&skuId=8275528 As long at your speakers have an impedance of 4-16 Ohms then this will help get rid of the cables from the front of the room going to the back. The problem for PC speaker users is that those little rear speakers are often 2-3 Ohm or not even rated. Using low Ohms speakers with a box or amp designed for higher Ohms is a bad idea.

Edit.......

<Quote: Tech Savvy>
"Vizio wireless speakers are great. You can stream music to it from your phone and tablet as well"

Except that the rear speakers aren't wireless. The sub is wireless, sure. But the rear speakers have to be plugged in to the sub to work. So you still have speaker wires.

Blu Ray Home Theater System with HDMI inputs and Built In Wireless Rear Speakers?

Chicken F

Are there any blu ray home theater systems like this right now? Preferably with the tall front speakers. Thanks.

Answer
This system has tall front speakers, wireless, and is Blu-ray as well. I'm not a fan of these systems, but if that's what you want it's more than adequate. I've bought from these people before and their customer service is the best. No surround speaker is 100% wireless. It still needs power and that will require you plug it in somehow. Speakers that are wireless tend to have issues with getting a full signal and limited frequencies. They have not or have ever been recommended. Good luck!

I want a good 2.1 Speaker System?

Replicator

Hi I have Logitech Z55000 5.1 System but I need a good 2.1 Speaker System must have 12" Sub-woofer and deep punching bass.

Answer
Since you're asking this in the Home Theater section, should we assume that this 2.1 system will be used for home theater purposes, or are you looking for computer speakers? I ask because you mention the Logitech 5.1 system, which is intended for computer use. We need more specifics.

Also, there are lots of great subwoofers out there with drivers smaller than 12". Size does matter, I guess, but not as much as you might think.

I look forward to more details added to your question. :-)

If you're looking for a good 2.1 system for your computer, I highly recommend (if you can still find one) the Altec Lansing MX5021 system. It's THX certified, the subwoofer has excellent bass for games and music (though it doesn't have a 12" driver), and the high frequency extension is phenomenal for a system that costs under $200. The only drawback is a little bit of audible hiss when the system is on but silent, which isn't a problem when you're fragging friends or cranking up music other than classical.

Alternatively, if you *are* looking for home theater speakers and you have an amp, I'd suggest the Definitive Technology ProSub 1000 and two Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 satellites. Links below.

Good luck!

Not just for computers - improves cheap TVs, July 7, 2008
By Arthur Kimes (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews


I recenty got a inexpensive 19" HDTV which has decent enough video quality but it burdened with the WORST sound I've heard on a TV. Tinny sounding speakers with little volume. But there was a headphone jack on the TV. With headphones, the TV sounded excellent. My computer speakers were connected with a headphone jack... They worked just fine on the TV. I looked for powered 2.1 computer speaker systems on Amazon and was delighted to find many choices under $40. The best value for the money seemed to be this Logitech and the cheap TV now has excellent sound.

I give this a 5 star rating (instead of a 3 or a 4) because of the low price. There are better 2.1 systems but nowhere near this price.

Great sound with a nice touch of base. All the quality in a small package. The speaker wires are really not long enough for distant placement of speakers the wire doesn't spread that far apart. The sub woofer does well it packs a punch when cranked up. The piano black color adds nice touch to the speakers and woofer which is kind of heavy but slim enough to fit just about anywhere. The volume control and mic/phone jack controls are easy to use and a big plus for me. Easy gliding volume control the whole system feels solid with no visible weaknesses. Over all a good speaker system for the money. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Building a 7.1 Surround System from two speaker systems?

pemfir p

I recently bought a Logitech 5500Z model (see link please)
http://reviews.logitech.com/7061/224/logitech-z-5500-digital-5-1-speaker-system-reviews/reviews.htm
to compliment my older Philips speakers (please see the link)
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Multimedia-Speakers-2-1-System/dp/B001YKCE86/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_32
I want to get a 7.1 Surround System out of these speakers. The Logitech speakers take three 3.5 mm audio jacks, the Philips speaker take one 3.5 mm audio jack.
will a sound card like this support all 7 speakers/four 3.5 mm jacks ?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102043

Answer
It looks like that sound card has 4 out ports, which should work with what you have for speakers. I personally think you built your system backwards though. I'm willing to bet you will not even notice the difference between 5.1 and 7.1 with the equipment you have. You def need to do more research so you can understand what your doing.

For stereo sound system, any difference between 2.0 and 7.1?

I am looking for a stereo sound system for music, and 7.1 system for home theater. So far it seems a 2.0 stereo with stereo speakers are best for music and 7.1 and theater speakers for movies, TV etc. I considered playing music through a 7.1 set up, but it doesn't seem practical for music. I was just hoping to avoid 2 separate receivers. Or this the correct set up?

Answer
You can have the best of both worlds you just have to be very careful what you buy in regards to speakers and components.

First stereo of course is 2 channels which would be your left and right speakers which if you choose high quality music speakers can work well for both stereo music and your left and right theater system. You just have to be very selective to buy high quality music speakers as home theater speakers are designed completely differently and are not designed with as a high priority of reproducing music with any real fidelity.

So search for high quality music speakers and most of these manufactures also make surround sound speakers to complement and complete a home theater system.

If you buy high enough quality main speakers and you are not restricted in placement you may not even need a center channel or subwoofer, as the main speakers can do it all, and even better if you buy good enough main speakers.

Otherwise if your on a pretty tight budget then your likely going to need a subwoofer at the very least to supplement the lack of low bass the mains are not capable of reproducing.

Generally receivers are not that great from stereo music, they often use cheap parts, and have to many features and gadgetry that compromises sound quality. I would highly recommend you look into and consider a integrated amplifier with built in surround sound and rear channel amplifiers or even better yet is separates with preamplifier and amplifier.

Your best bet is to go and discover your local independent high end audio video store as they carry the better brands of speakers, and equipment, and the salesmen at these stores have the knowledge and expertise to help you design a system that will actually sound good and can be proud to own.

Forget about the chain stores, the salesmen have no clue about designing a good system, and 98% of what they carry is low end anyway.

If needed save up your money and get something good, or buy it in stages and build onto it to have a system that your friends will envy.

Which 2.1 PC speaker system is better?

Jedius99

So I'm in the market for a new set of PC speakers; I've pretty much tired of my old JBL 2.1 system. I'm also buying a new LCD TV and I briefly thought of getting a 5.1 system and somehow switching it between my PC and my TV, but I dismissed that idea cause I'll prob want to watch TV and use my PC at the same time.

Anyway so I've decided that for now I will just settle for a new 2.1 system for my PC and the TV audio should be adequate. I was looking at two main systems, the Logitech X-230/240, and I just saw a display in PC Richards yesterday of the Bose Companion 3 Series II system (the Companion 5 was really cool - it emulates 5.1 with only 2 speakers - but the $400 price tag is out of my range). I'm wondering if it's really worth it to splurge $250 for the Bose system, or to stick to a cheaper set that may be pretty darn good itself.

So...do I go for the Bose? Or do I stick to a cheaper model? And if the cheaper one, is the Logitech the best to get? Or are there others?

Answer
With 250, you can buy a 5.1+ speaker set. I don't think it's justifiable to spend 250 on a 2.1 speaker set no matter what. If I were you, I would stick with the Logitech. The best way of course is to go to a local store (Best Buy, Fry's) and listen to them. If you're really into bass, look for the one with more watts. Bose is a good company, but I feel that they are too overrated. If the specs for the speakers are similar, then I'd stick with the Logitechs. You should look for online reviews to compare.

Compared to other computer speaker systems I've sampled there tops.

Give them a listen - It's up to you and your ears what you like best.

the ones I have would fall within your price range, a few pounds shy of your top end (£70).

Questions about iPhone 5 adapters?

I'm going to be purchasing an iPhone 5 and I have a few questions regarding the adapters for docks and whatnot... I currently have an ilive speaker docking system to play music and charge my device. If I purchased an adapter, would it still work the same as with the old devices? As in, would the remote work, would it charge the iPhone, would it play music as well, etc. Also, could you suggest what kind of adapter to buy with these things in mind? thanks so much

Answer
Pretty much anything that connects to an iPod touch etc. Will charge your iPhone. Your ilive should charge it as well. Hope that answers your question .

Wireless iPad speakers?

Brycee

I got my mom an iPad for her birthday, but for Christmas I know she wants speakers. I was thinking it would be cool to find some speakers for her iPad that work wirelessly or through bluetooth. I was wondering if there was such a thing, and, if there is, what is a really good set of wireless speakers? If there is not a wireless set, do you guys have any other recommendations for iPad speakers?

Answer
On wireless speakers you could play music from iPad, iPhone, MP3 player, computer, TV, or video. You could read more about it on http://www.home-wlan.com/wireless-speaker-system.html.

PIONEER S-ST606 Speaker Pack + S-W90-S Active Subwoofer?

porrence

I've just bought the entitled set from Pixmania.co.uk. Here's the link:

http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/533781/art/pioneer/s-st606-speaker-pack-s-w9.html

They seem like a good deal to me, but can I find them anywhere else on the internet - for a review - or for anything - can I eck! Do they actually exist?! Does anyone have them?! What are they like?

They're described as 5.1 - que? There are only 4 speakers?

Please help a newbie and tell me something about them.

Thanks in advance...

Answer
I was unable to find a review as well. It is not a 5.1 system based on the specifications. When I hear in a features section " just like a theater" then I am lead to believe that it is a pseudo surround system. If you are expecting a discrete sound, then you will be sorely disappointed. As far as I can tell it could be compared to a Bose 321. Just with a center speaker. The sound you will get is little better than the stereo speakers in your TV set.

I also have issue with anyone who buys audio without listening to it first.

I say return it and get a real 5.1 system. I would return it on the pretense of false advertising it is a 3.1 not a 5.1 system.

home theater system for under 400?

dirk dagge

I am moving into a new house and would like to purchase a decent audio setup to complement my 47 inch HDTV.

I love gaming and movies but also watch sports. I also like to listen to music and am a wannabe audiophile. I own a pair of decent headphones (denon 1100's and AD700's).

Basically my thinking is this:

I was going to purchase an Onkyo Receiver (TX-SR308 5.1 channel) for $200, a pair of nice speakers and a subwoofer for 2.1 audio.

here is my question:

is it worth investing in the receiver if I am only going to go with 2 speakers and a sub instead of surround sound?

is it worth adding surround sound?

is it worth adding a 3rd speaker for 3.1 to have a center channel?

should i just buy an all inclusive home theater system?

help!!!!

Answer
1. is it worth investing in the receiver if I am only going to go with 2 speakers and a sub instead of surround sound?
Yes. You can add a center channel later as most dialog in TV and films comes through the center channel. You can also add a set of small speakers for the rear. The rear speakers are for ambiance and sound effects in TV and films. Two channel stereo is preferred by audiophiles for music.

2. is it worth adding surround sound? See above. It's your choice. With TV and films dialog will be more clear. You might get a kick out of the effect of the rear channels too.

3. is it worth adding a 3rd speaker for 3.1 to have a center channel? Again, see above.

4. should i just buy an all inclusive home theater system? No. Quality is severely lacking in these systems. Any self-respecting audiophile would never admit to owning one.

Additionally, you shouldn't scrimp with your speaker selection. Do some research on quality speakers. This should include reading the forums such as:
audioasylum.com
forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl
forums.audioholics.com
Do not get you information from company sites that provide glowing reviews such as Bose.
The Onkyo receiver is an acceptable choice. You are on you way to becoming a true audiophile.

Which speakers are better for a restaurant mono or stereo?

skennedy04

We are purchasing a Muzak system for our 2800 SF restaurant. The Muzak rep recommends running the speaker system Mono. The A/V person we have been working with recommends running it stereo. Any opinions? I tend to favor the opinion of the Muzak rep because they sell so many systems, but the A/V person tells me the sound quality will not be good.

Answer
for stereo you will need left and right channels, it just doesn't seem necessary in a restaurant and a good mono amp will be able to drive more speakers then a stereo amp, home stereo equipment is different then music equipment used for commercial use, i recommend going with the muzak persons idea, or if you want better quality, then go with a good stereo set-up, but depending where people are seated, not everyone is going the hear the same things, ps have you thought about a juke box? they are stereo, and some are now connected to the internet,and have thousands of songs available

Drive-thru system of fast food restaurant?

James

Can anybody describe to me how does the Drive-Thru system of restaurants work?
Restaurants like McDonald's or Burger King or any other places is good.

Unfortunately the place where i am staying now does not have this kind of service.
The reason I'm asking this is because I'm doing a research and I need to know exactly how it works in detail by people who have actually gone through a Drive-Thru.
Also, I need to know your experience, good or bad!

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)

Answer
Inside the restaurant is a space about three feet by three feet where the cashier for the drive-thru is stationed. There is a pickup window to the outside at the station and the cashier is equipped with a microphone headset to speak to the customers outside. Outside is a lane with a large menu with a speaker system next to it. The driver stops their vehicle there and tells the cashier what their order is when prompted by the cashier to do so. The cashier relays the order to the people who bag up the order, or sometimes they bag it up themselves. They then tell the driver to move forward to the pickup window. There they collect the cash from the driver and give them their order.

Home theater reviews?

Tobias

I'm shopping around for some home theaters, and I have a few requests that I think you guys could help me out with. 1) I need a great subwoofer, like window-shattering bass. 2) Minimun of 5.1 surround. 3) Blu-ray player is a plus, but not a deal breaker. And if it's on Newegg, huge bonus too! Thanks!

Answer
None of the box systems come with great subwoofers.

Your best bet is to get a system with a full-sized receiver, self powered subwoofer and monitor-style speakers.

These systems are expandable so you can upgrade the sub later as interest/money permits.

You want to avoid the 'systems' with a skinny receiver and a built-in DVD/BluRay drive. These are glorified DVD players and wont let you hook up Cable/Sat/Xbox/PS3/iPod.. devices.

People who buy these crap-tastic systems then come here to whine about it works great for DVD's but ...how do I get TV sound or hook an Xbox up to it? Dont be one of those guys with buyers remorse.

Home Theater Systems?

itstallion

I am looking for a nice home theater system that can be mounted on the walls in a medium sized room. I have owned surround sounds before and i dont want to go with something cheap. I have been searching for about six months now and i just cannot find the right one. I want something around the 300-800 price range. If someone knows of a good sounding system that can pair nicely with an hd tv I would greatly appreciate it! 5.1 or 7.1 is what i'm aiming for. Thanks!!

Answer
First off, you are going to be hard pressed to find a nice sounding 5.1 system for $800. You would probably be better served by saving a little bit more money and buying the front and center now, and adding in the surrounds and sub when you can afford them later. You will regret not putting the bulk of your money in the front\center speaker. That said, if you are dead set on buying now take a look at the Onix x-series speakers. Home Theater magazine reviewed them last year and gave them a 96/100 rating in the entry level category. These guys review equipment for a living, so if they say Onix makes nice speaker then I tend to believe them. You can get a complete 5.1. setup for around $800. They look really nice, and they apparently sound just as good. You should be able to mount them on the wall next to your LCD\Plasma.

Here's a link to the home theater magazine review.

Is there a clock radio or speaker system that plays MP3's?

KD

We are looking for a clock radio that plays a CD with MP3's or speakers that we could plug an MP3 player into (not an ipod). We would like to play music for our son overnight, but CD's only contain a small amount of music.

Answer
Sure. There are dozens of them if not hundreds of models to choose from. Just make sure the device has an AUX or line-in port. Then get a male to male 3.5mm cable. Plug one end into the mp3 player and the other into the device. Here's an example.http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T435B-Line-8-Color-Clock/dp/tech-data/B00080FO0S/ref=de_a_smtd This one says it even includes the cable I mentioned. Good luck.

Will a Bose Acoustimass 3 Speaker System work with an MP3 player/iPad?

Dark Lord

What I mean is, does it have a jack that I can plug into an MP3 player or an iPad? You know, the kind of common jack you find on the end of most headphones or earbuds. I don't know what it's called, but I'd like to know before I buy a $200 speaker system and find out I can't use it.

Answer
M advice would be to take the MP3 player and ipad to see if it does. It may or may not, Bose is not an open source system. I would think you can plug into the aux input on the volume dial and all is well, that is how it should be. Save yourself the headache and go through the trouble of connecting the devices and see for yourself. That would be your best bet.

Best.

What's the best iPod speaker system?

Chris

Also which is the best price-wise and which is the best quality-wise?

and what about iHomes?

Answer
If you want portable speakers then I don't know the answer to your question. But, if your talking about using your iPod at home (or even a friends home) then I highly recommend purchasing an rca to headphone jack cable from your local electronics store for just a few bucks. This will allow you to connect your iPod to any stereo system with aux inputs. Here's a picture: http://www.tinnou.com/images/com-87a.jpg

And don't forget you can use any external computer speakers as well.

Looking for customer reviews for Livespeakr Ultra-Portable Speaker System for iPod iPhone?

Where can I find reviews and opinions online for Livespeakr Ultra-Portable Speaker System for iPod iPhone

Answer
Why it's a best pick:
While this may not be the prettiest iPhone dock available on the market, it is one of the most compact. So if you live in a cramped studio apartment and don't have space for a big stereo system this is a great alternative. But not only does the LiveSpeakR Ultra Portable Speaker System play music off your iPhone, it also has a speaker phone capability. So you can feel like a hotshot when taking calls from vendors at home. "Sure I have a secretary, Mr. Phelps! Can't you hear she has me on speaker phone in the office?"

LiveSpeakR also custom designed these speakers to blast crystal clear digital quality sound and is also fully GSM blocked as to keep the speakers from buzzing when your iPhone is on. That is a big problem with many iPod speaker docks so it is good to know the engineers thought of that when designing it.

The rechargeable battery in the LiveSpeakR Ultra Portable Speaker System lasts 14-16 hours. It also works with all iPhone and iPod variants. So especially if you live in a big city or a tiny apartment, be sure to check out the LiveSpeakR Ultra Portable Speaker System. It might be just perfect for you.

Manufacturer Description: The LiveSpeakR is the world's first ultra-portable speaker system made specifically for all generations of the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPod Classic.

Good, high quality, optical input speaker systems?

Kyle

I'm hoping to get some suggestions about good speaker systems. Currently looking into buying a speaker system for use in my home and dorm room. I plan to use it to play music, video games, movies, and general PC use. I would be alright with either a 2.1 or a 5.1 system. Price range anywhere from 600$ or lower (preferably lower, but not cheapo).

My PC and Xbox can both output in digital optical audio, and I would prefer to use them if at all possible. Cord management is a big deal when wiring these up in my dorm, and I'd like the added quality.


So far I have looked into the Bose Cinemate II Series:
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/home_theater/21channel_systems/cinemate_systems/cinemate_series2/index.jsp?model=cinemate_gs_series2
I can get the lesser model for 429$ where I live.

And I have briefly looked at the Logitech z5500, but have heard bad things about the music audio quality, so I'm skeptical of the price.

Any suggestions or input would be helpful. Thanks.

Answer
Avoid the Bose, avoid Logitech as well. They're both terrible... Bose is just higher priced junk, and Logitech is lower-priced junk.

I can recommend an excellent 2.1 setup to you, but it will not utilize the optical inputs on your PC and Xbox. That said, trust me when I say it doesn't make a real difference in most cases. I have used both Optical and Analog inputs, and it only matters if you are using a very high end system. If we're talking speakers that are entry-level ($4000 and below) then you most likely will never notice a difference between optical and analog (RCA, or other).

Now that I got all of that down, I'll recommend you look into this...

Suggested system: A pair of AudioEngine A2 powered speakers along with an Energy ESW-C8 subwoofer. The AudioEngines are small but powerful speakers, made in the USA, that I personally own and enjoy myself. The Energy sub is a great entry level sub that will assist the petite AudioEngines in rocking the house. Price: AudioEngine A2: $200... Energy Sub: $300...

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_772A2B/Audioengine-2-A2-Satin-black.html?search=AudioEngine+A2

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_732ESWC8/Energy-ESW-C8.html?tp=187

The AudioEngines would be connected to your XBOX or PC via RCA inputs, then you would take a 3.5mm/RCA cable to connect from the AudioEngine's 3.5mm jack to the sub's RCA jacks. Tada, excellent 2.1 system.



There are two reasons I'm choosing AudioEngine A2s as the speakers... One, they're powered so you don't need an amp, two, they're outstanding speakers... period. In your price range, you don't have room to go for an amp and speakers and a sub... doing so would leave you with sub-par sound. (Like what Bose would give)

The AudioEngine A2s will give you outstanding detail and clarity, and the Energy sub will give nice punch to the system.

Plain and simple, AudioEngine is made in the USA, Bose is made in China. Energy is a highly respected name and makes great entry-level subs... Bose just makes junk out of paper and foam.


Good luck, hopefully I helped.

Please suggest 5.1 speakers with digital optical input.?

ALOK

Answer
Speakers do not have optical inputs with the possible exception of a soundbar that accepts 5.1 via optical.

The optical needs decoding to break it out into 6 channels of sound, then convert to analog. Then you need to run each of these channels through a amplifier to convert the line-level signals to speaker-level. Then you hook speakers up to these analog, powered outputs.

You need a system built around a full-sized AV Receiver. Then you can add what ever 5.1 speaker set you can afford.

Best surround sound with mp3 player compatibility?

superstace

I have a smaller living room but i would like at least two speakers and a subwoofer. I have a samsung focus phone and need the surround sound to have a 3.5m jack so I can use my music off my phone through the surround sound. Please let me know the most reasonably priced one out there!!! I'm on a very tight budget.
I would like a legitimate home theater/surround sound system. I want to be able to hook my tv up to it or hook my mp3 player up to it so listen to music.

Answer
Well this one is good and very cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/Coby-CS-MP77-75-Watt-Performance-Speaker/dp/B000P1D7O0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311870908&sr=8-1
You would also need 2 of these aux cables, which are incredibly cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-AUD-1100-06-6-Feet-Stereo/dp/B000SE6IV8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311871217&sr=1-1

But that one isnt really "surround sound". Do you want surround sound or do you just want speakers?

http://www.amazon.com/RCA-RT151-Home-Theater-System/dp/B002PY7H3M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311871739&sr=1-1

I know these above would work, but they are not very high watts

This one below is pretty high watts but I did a lot of research for you and found that they aren't "truly" surround sound unless you have a receiver. That owuld cost you about another 100 bucks. So i would reccomend the last one. its 300 watts, compared to 80 from the one above it.

car speaker system help?

Q. i have no clue what to put in i want alot of bass so i can be heard coming down the street but not so much that i cant hear the song and im willing to spend around 150-200 smackaroos

Answer
You won't really get large bass from speakers, b/c the woofer itself is not large enough to reproduce the low frequency end of the system. You can get decent bass with Kicker or Alpine, but you'll want to get a sub or two if you want a full-spectrum system.

In car audio, you get what you pay for. If you buy a crappy Boss stereo instead of an Alpine or Pioneer stereo, you'll probably be sending the Boss stereo in for warranty issues.

Brands that are good for the following categories are:

Amp: Top 5: Rockford Fosgate, Hifonics, Alpine, Kicker, Infinity.
Honorable Mentions: Kicker, Polk Audio, Boston Acoustics, Pioneer.

Speaker: Top 5: Focal, Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, Infinity, Alpine.
Honorable Mentions: Boston Acoustics, Kenwood, Hifonics, Polk Audio, JL.

Subwoofer: Top 5: Fi, Alpine, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Pioneer Premier.
Honorable Mentions: Hifonics, Infinity, Kenwood, Pioneer (Basic Pioneer).

OEM Processors: Rockford Fosgate 360.2 Processor
On a Budget: Hifonics Processors.

Wire: Kicker and Rockford Fosgate.
Also, stick with name brand companies that follow the AWG system.

Head Unit: Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood.

The only place I recommend to buy any of these products are Crutchfield.com and the actual company's homepage that makes the products so you can get your warranty with the product.

When you upgrade anything in your system, it's best to upgrade everything, because every component will compliment each other to make the best sounding system.

--------------------------------------â¦

A rule of thumb when designing a custom system is that when you add (a) subwoofer(s) you need to follow the following formula when going for SQ (Sound Quality) instead of SPL (Sound Pressure Level): Total RMS (Root Mean Squared OR Constant Wattage) of all speakers should be double to figure the RMS that the subs should be. i.e. If you have a 4-speaker system that has 50w RMS per speaker, then you'd 50 x 4 giving you 200. Then take 200 x 2 which gives you 400. That means that your system should have a subwoofer(s) with 400w RMS.

If you need any help just e-mail if you need help!!!
You can do all this on your own. I can give you links to diagrams that I've made to help you install your system and if you order from Crutchfield.com (which I highly recommend) they'll send you a Master Sheet with everything on it.

If you go to Crutchfield.com you can click on "Outfit My Car" and enter your car's info, then Crutchfield will show you all the products that will fit/work with your car.
Good luck!

Good car speaker systems?

durnt

I recently just purchased an Alpine deck, and now im looking to get some new speakers for my car. I dont know a lot about speaker systems, and I was wondering what you would all recommend. Im hoping to spend under 300$ for equipment, but if a little extra gets me a substantial boost in quality ill consider it.

Answer
Speakers ae very subjective, and of personal preference, i may like something that you hate and visa versa. i would recommend going to a good car audio shop and take a listen, take a favorite cd, and test drive the speakers. for 300 you should be able to get some decent speakers all around. once you find a brand model you like, you could then shop online to find the best deal, woofers etc, is one place that has great values. you could also look at Crutchfield, they supply great directions and free harnesses for your vehical, so do it yourself is real easy when buying from them. I would stay away from best buy and the likes, typically thier stuff is overpirced for what it is.
since you asked for brand i feel obligated to through out a few names for you, but i still urge you to take a listen before you buy.

Boston acoustic
Diamond Audio
image dynamics
MB quart

These are names that are less mainstream, but i assure you they are serious about car audio. Also keep in mind that round speakers typically distort less and sound cleaner that the same series in a oval shape, however ovals can produce more bass in tight areas.


Hope that helps, and good luck.

What is the best mid-range budget 5.1 speaker system?

Scott

I've looked at several options: Focal, Bose, Energy, Polk. So far, I like the Focal Bird and Little bird speakers. I've got 14 ga. speaker wire in the walls of fairly large room with an HK A/V receiver. Any recommendations?

Answer
I would drop Bose from your list though (overpriced and mediocre at best).

Based on your suggestion of Focal speakers you appear to want some miniature speakers. That said, neither the bird nor little bird are surround speakers so I'm a little confused re your question specifying 5.1. You could cobble together a surround system but you would need an A/V receiver or surround amp to power them. See the 1st link for a review of the Focals. The other 2 links are to recommended surround systems ... some of which may meet your needs.

Personally I prefer speakers with a bit more size, and that opens up many possibilities. If you want small surround speakers Energy Take Classic is a reasonable choice, or consider Orb. If you want something bigger consider Klipsch, Distinctive Audio, Tannoy, B&W, Totem, ...

Home theatre system?

talk2me

I need to buy a home theatre system for myself. I have a DVD player and connect it to my Sony Wega TV for sound output. I need the home theatre to enhance the sound. I checked the Bose 3-2-1 Series II and its pretty expensive. My budget is around 500-600 USD. Can u please help?

Answer
Man, listen to me. Home theater in a box isn't that great of a deal. The main units are usually not good DVD players OR recievers and amplifiers. They typically don't have the proper connections that a person with state-of-the-art HD components needs. Bose sound nice, but a lot of what you pay for is the looks and mostly the brand name.

If you have the room, I would look at component systems. You already have a DVD player, so you don't need a HTiB that has one built in. Go to Best Buy, look at spending about $200 on a reciever. This should have surround sound capabilities and the digital audio attachments on the back. Then, go over to their speaker section. I bought a sony set for $300 that included five speakers and a powered subwoofer. The speakers themselves are not much bigger than a bose speaker. You can buy the speakers individually, or just buy two pairs of speakers and a center speaker. I would not skip out on a subwoofer unless you live in an apartment and have pissy neighbors.

The benefit of a component system is that if one component goes down, all you have to do is replace that component, not the whole system, as you sometimes have to do with a HTiB system.
