Better DIY 2-channel for the money?

[kidwolf909 10+ year member]

I'm going to be upgrading my dorm sound system because I'm tired of having crappy music at parties and buzz from my weak JBL Creature's 3" sub system.

What I've been thinking of is building my own 2.0 system for now with the possibility of becoming a 2.1 system. I plan to build my own shelf speakers using either a set of PG RSD6.5 components or Pioneer TS-D720C's and powering them with a Dayton APA150 amplifier. The Dayton puts out 75wRMS @ 4ohms on each channel. The PG's and Pioneers each handle 60wRMS/channel. The prices are looking like $170 for the APA150 and $111 for the Pioneers - OR - $87 for the PG's and $7 for terminal cups.

So total would be:

$288 for the Pioneers

$264 for the PG's

+ wood for the cabinets.

So my question to everyone is: Can I do better for

Thanks in advance!

the rsd's worked great for home audio for me.
