Cheap Amplifier

Ok, so what would i use in a 3 way system (sizes, watts, w/e), and could you tell me some good brands to use for these?

What's your budget?

There are plenty of options out there...Madisound.com & Parts Express would be good places to start your search.

Another advantage to two way systems is that they're usually cheaper, so it's helpful if you're on a tight budget. Less crossover parts, less drivers, that sort of thing.

What are some good brands? I have no idea man. I think i'll go for a 3 way system, what kind of speakers do i get in a 3 way system.

check PE...most of the brands they have there i trust....just look at something you like...

a 3 way system has one speaker bringing out the lows/bass....another bringing out the mids...and something bringin out the mids/highs...like horns

a 12"sub, 8/ 6.5" would go nice for mids and a good horn for mids/highs

Ok, so are you talking about speakers under the prosound section or the home section? Because i'll be running this off a 100 watt per channel reciever.

the mids look nice...the tweet looks good...the sub looks good...

N.B. looks good for the power that you are goin to be sending them

sure why dont you give it a shot

Ok, so do you think those will sound better and be louder than my KLH speakers? And i'm also going to need help with 2 more things from you guys, what do i do for crossovers for those speakers, and how do i wire them inside the box?

Many people go with the bookshelf speakers and a sub. I wouldn't be so concerned about the power. As Jack Frost said, 100w RMS without clipping is plenty. My receiver spits out 110w RMS min and it fires out more power than I could ever want. So much that my 200w RMS speakers can't handle it.

Ok, so now you're just confusing me, do you mean a 3 way bookshelf speaker and a subwoofer? Do i use 2 mid's and a tweeter on a bookshelf speaker? Or a small woofer, a mid and a tweeter?

im tired....i'll let jack take that one

He means a bookshelf speaker - which could be anything, really...

 

[creater 10+ year member]

he must mean 2 way bookshelf and a sub...

or 3 way bookshelf would be a tweet and 2 mids...

and 100w/ch is a lot...i mean you arent looking for heavy equipment from peavy, QSC, Crown etc...

if you go with the bookshelf and sub i would say go with the 2 way and a good sub...

but just stick with the 3 way setup and ur good...forget about 2 way and sub
