I meanwith like car audio equipment. Home audio is expensive. And I don't care that much about it. Just want some bump for my room.

For Floorstanding I like Klipsch, B&W, and some Polk, you can usually find Klipsch on craigslist n stuff

This. Don't use Car audio for home audio unless you know what you're doing to make enclosures for the speakers/woofers. Klipsch and Polk are the best ways to go. I got myself a full Polk audio 5.2 for about a grand and it sounds absolutely astounding. Can make a 5.1 from Polk for as cheap as... 750 or so brand new. Klipsch sounds a bit better, but is also a bit more spendy, and has pretty bad customer service.

If you just want some "Bump" for your room, you can build a 2.1 for as cheap as like...400-500.

Polk FTW I found a 3.1 system at a garage sale with a receiver. I gave the guy 20 bucks for all of it...true story. Opened all the grills and everything was perfect! Best find I've ever found in my life. Then I went on CL and bought two more speakers to complete the 5.1 system, it sounds amazing and pretty clear.

Truthfully, i would get a pair of nice car subs, a pair of nice piezo tweeters,

a crossover, and build my own. also a pioneer receiver would be best

For some bump in your room I'd suggest going old school:

Technics SU-V78 Amp/Receiver

Teac EQA-10 Equalizer

KLH/Yamaha 3-way bookshelf speakers

Just thought i'd add my little tidbit in here

if you go here on parts-express, they have a bunch of DIY speaker builds. many of them have parts lists, assembly instructions, diagrams, etc. so you can copy some of those builds since most of them are proven.

also, in the speaker building section, there's these kits that are made to be very easily assembled and installed (even a video on how to put together the crossover). there are quite a few people that review them, and i've noticed that most of the reviews are made by people who have been doing this for years and know their shit.

one downside i have found with the speaker projects is that they use really high end parts for their projects, so they tend to be a little pricey.

i have done a lite bit of research myself on building loudspeakers, so send me a PM if you decide to go the DIY route.
