buddlydudly8989 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 ok so im new to all this home audio stuff. So im looking to do a small set up in my shop. Looking at 3-4 small towers and a cd/ipod and fm reciever. Just wondering what you guys would recommend. My budget for the whole thing im thinking around 300? idk im doing some looking around right now to see what stuff cost. Im trying to stay on the cheap side just because its just for a shop nothing to important. So any suggestion on any speakers or receivers would be great. Thanks!

Im also trying to find a way out to get better reception. Its a all metal building so about every channel has alot static. I think i might look into a outdoor antenna.

95legwagon Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 honestly i have been in an all metal building and the only thing i had to do to get good reception is taking a wire that is long enough to go outside and up the side of the building a lil bit...... worked great for me. i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

buddlydudly8989 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 what do ya mean by wire. Like strip the fm wire and then add some say speaker wire to it to make it longer. I think that would be a cheaper route lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95legwagon Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 yea pretty much exactly what i was saying i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

buddlydudly8989 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks ill have to try that. I just put a plain sony radio and some speakers in there and dont get me wrong they sounded better than what was in there, but that receiver is horrible for getting reception in there. i tried moving that little fm wire all over the place and nothing. But ill try that trick for now until i can find something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddlydudly8989 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I know these prob suck but for the price they might not idk. What do you guys think of these?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/390564410118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95legwagon Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 they would probably be good given you have enough power to make them sound decent..... says 300 rms rated so they probably handle like 100 to 150 rms safely. but they are dj loudspeakers so i bet they sound alright and get decently loud edit: also have had good luck with the seller vm innovations. they ship pretty fast and customer service is pretty good too! fwiw lol i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

I just gotta find a decent receiver to power them. Im having a buddy of mine look for one tommo at this computer/tv shop he owns. I tried that wire trick you said and it really didnt work. I did it a little differently though i just ran the wire straight out the top of a hole in the roof and it was still staticy as hell. So my same buddy said he could hook me up with a outdoor antenna that should do the trick. Id be fine with just using my ipod or cds but my dad is the one that wants to use the radio.
