third, i agree that electronics companies are only after the cash.

me? i live in manhattan. i dont got money to waste. im going to put my money into something i feel is a good solution - and with a good idea. my stock system is 150-watt pioneer system - head unit and speakers are 150-watt.

upgrading speakers won't improve bass THAT MUCH so the $75 amp + $15 wiring thing is out the window.

I'm going to put the money into a nice set of speakers - with sub. im not an audiophile but i know that pc speakers, like the altec lansing ones i have, sound mad good.

im thinking of getting the soundblaster audigy pcmcia sound card and outputting it to a nice 2 or 4 pc speaker system with sub. i seen one on craigslist for $40. =P

will let u know how it turns out.
- sh00k

show me a fuse size and I'll decide for myself if those ratings are at all accurate.

and secondly, how the **** am I a troll?

thirdly, yes, you are ignorant, because you don't know any better. Maybe you are a little unclear on the meaning of the word? dono

fourth, why would you argue with everyone and tell them they are wrong, when they quite obviously have a **** load more experience than you? you don't see smart people telling those experienced in their fields that they are wrong...only dumb people do that!

enjoy yourself, and let us know how it all turns out!

By the way that 199w RMS is split between the four satellites, 50w apiece. Don't forget because it's based on AC the fuse doesn't have to be as big.

I'd still be curious to see how it handled on the highway!

ok wow... so it's 315 RMS... whoop dee f'n doo... for god's sake just put it in your car... quit replying to these posts.. go to walmart... buy an inverter... plug it up... cram the speakers where you want them... put the sub in the trunk... crank up your car... and hold the gas and keep the rpm's around 3,000... tell us how GREAT it sounds... and post pics so we can smile and bow down to you

what the heck does that mean? your stock radio will NEVER put out 150watts... aftermarkets are at most around 80-100w RMS... i guarantee you i could take my car in the backyard... which i have a 4 channel amp which is 50w x 4... 200w RMS... boston pro 5¼" components i paid $50 for... and a polk momo 10 in a ported custom built box... so that's $100 for speakers and $25 for the box... $150 for the amp... and i will sound 10 times better than your uber-retarded 913.1 surround sound mega system! with 14 converters and 4cigarette lighter plugs it took to install it...

I have the best 3.1 system that logitech makes, it sould very nice so i'm sure in a mid-size car(hatch) or suv that system would be fair if not good. try everything once and do twice only the things u like

actually, what he said is very true

your speakers put out 150 watts!

holy ****!

I've never seen speaker that put out wattage! I gotta find me some of those! where did you get them!

damn!
