Customer Review: Best PC speaker system for DIY
Summary: 5 Stars
These speakers are the best for DIY people who wants the best for every penny you spend. It took me an hour or two to hook this up to my room with some some work on making it run across my room. the cords of front and center speakers are decent enough for installing it in a desk or a wall close to your monitor with the subwoofer on the floor but most of the time, the rear speakers wont. I hope this had extension cords running 20feet they didnt. It might increase the price if they do but its an easy task to do. you will need a RCA plugs($3.99 for 4 pairs at radioshack), speaker wires and RCA female to female for extension($.99 each at 99cents store) and soldering tools. cut the wires the the desired length, solder RCA plugs on both ends, connect to subwoofer to the desired speaker port and connect the other side to the speaker. Staple to the sides if desired.
PROS:
Flexibility - you can do alot of upgrade on this one. its easy to extend the wires without cutting/splicing any of its wires by using RCAs. And the best thing i love is you can replace the speakers with better speakers like i did. i bought speakers from component systems at goodwill and hook them up with this one(except subwoofer). it felt like a $500 sound system. FYI, Using a creative xtreme gamer sound card. dont get me wrong, original speakers are good but it lacked good bass. i suggest replacing them buy buying or looking around in your garage for some old good quality speakers. I swithed speakers to upgrade, not because the one that it comes with are broken. they are still working pretty good.
5.1 channel - matrix mode is good but its stereo being channeled thru 5 speakers. Use a PC and configure them to put out 5.1 and adjust the volume of the rear(using ac3filter) and watch a DVD. you will feel the everything. increase the bass and watch saving private ryan, you will even look back to check some explosions that you can hear behind you. I dont reccommend that you max your bass, the vibration can be annoying to your neighbors.
Volume - It can fill up my average size room with loud sound with about speaker volume to 60% and my pc on 20%. I havent tried putting them on both 100% but you get the picture, unless you have to put these on a cinema sized room, volume is way enough.
Space - the subwoofer takes only a small space. the speakers too and can be mounted to a wall.
CONS:
work work work - the amount of work you have to put up to make this work can be a lot for other people but for me, its average and worth the extra effort.
Upgrades - its the (my opinion) basic 5.1 speaker package you can see on the market. it has no wireless remote, no wireless speaker, doesnt auto adjust or synchronize with the others, no optical or hdmi input(just 3.5mm jacks) but this things are available on other more expensive speakers.
no complain for me though and im using this for two years now. i have no issues with anything. its still the best speaker i bought and i think i'll be using this till the technology is obsolete and PCs doesnt support 3.5mm jacks anymore. Im free for questions, discussions and comments.
