Q:I need some white surround sound speakers, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of them that aren't super expensive. I am thinking about getting the Logitech Z-5500, which I have installed for other people, used and love, and just install some white speakers instead of the black/silver ones that come with it and use the console and sub from the z-5500. That seems like it would work well, but I would rather just get a entire white system. Any suggestions from people who own white surround sound systems? If not, any other people input would be must appreciated. Sorry for not explaining all this very well, I'm in a hurry. Thanks!

Yes Bose is overpriced, and inferior even compared to MUCH cheaper speakers. Brands? How about anything BUT Bose? Sony, Klipsch, Definitive Technology, Kirkland (yes, Costco's generic brand) Bose does not use a subwoofer. No, they legally cannot call their Bose Bass Unit (or whatever) a subwoofer because it's not a subwoofer. It's an overpriced, over-engineered thing that tries to sound like a subwoofer but fails miserably. Any set of speakers can do window-rattling-loud. Whether or not they can produce clear notes both in the treble and bass regardless of the volume is another matter. My brother-in-law has a high end Bose system, but honestly it just makes noise. You don't hear music or feel the explosions, you just hear loud fuzzy noise. I don't even need to turn the system up very loud to get room thumping bass, and I don't lose the higher end of the spectrum either. Honestly, the receiver doesn't make a lot of difference with regards to the sound. Pick on based on the features and inputs you need. Here, too, Bose falls behind. For $200-300, you can get a entry level receiver with multiple HDMI inputs and a swath of other audio inputs to satisfy most home setups. For speakers, I got a nice set of bookshelf speakers and a 10 subwoofer kit from Definitive Technology for $500. For something from Bose that even has a single HDMI port on it, and their fakey speaker setup, you're at least looking something that costs thousands of dollars, and is essentially a crippled home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) unit with no additional inputs other than one for your iPod (and ONLY your iPod.) I dunno. $1000 for a receiver and non-proprietary speakers that will last me a life time, vs. thousands for inferior speakers which will fall apart after 10 years or so and can only be used with other Bose products (maybe) Yeah, that's a toughie.

Q:I just brought a new car and the speakers in the back make a really loud vibrating sound when its turned up, i was just wondering if it would be because the owner before me could have blown the speakers or is it normal for speakers to vibrate that loudly. (sometimes i dont have to have it up that loud for it to vibrate but it does in bassy bits)What speakers would you recommend for my car?

If you hear vibrating, then the speakers aren't screwed down very tight, and all you would need to do is screw them down tighter. if you hear more of a popping sound, then the speakers are blown and need to be replaced. If you replace your speakers, then look for speakers that fit, and try to find get ones with the highest sensitivity rating.

Q:Can i lay the speakers on their side but not cover the part where the sound comes out?

Yes Ideally the speaker should be placed where the tweeter is at ear level, and the speaker is upright or as the manufacture intended, but I did this at my uncles house with his speakers because he had his bookshelf speakers up so high on top of bookshelvesYou need to try it some speakers will work better than others doing this

Q:i know there subs are good but what about door speakers

For one, speaker sound is subjective. I may love them and you may hate them and vice versa, but quality wise, even JL's lowest quality speakers are good. I think it would be hard to be disappointed with any JL speaker or sub. There may be something that performs comparably for less money, but JL's are good.

Q:I have Windows 7 and I have two Insignia side speakers for my computers. I have a electric piano that i plug into it through the microphone input. A few days ago, i plugged the piano in and my speakers stopped working. They still show up on the computer but no sound comes out of it.Can somebody please help.Thanks

Make sure you didn't plug them into the headphone jack, that will mute the speakers.

Q:i have a small logitech portable wireless bluetooth speaker. is there anyway i can connect them to my better big speakers and just use the logitech one for the wireless function but have the music playing through the big speakers? thanks and if anyone knows of any portable speakers that can do this please tell me

The small speakers need an aux/headphone out. You plug that into the aux/line in for those speakers.

Q:I need a new surround left speaker for my surround sound system, and was wondering if I could buy single speakers, and does it need to be the same kind as the speakers that I have currently or can I just get any old speaker and that will work when I hook it up?

i does no longer propose it in any respect. those abode theater in a container are no longer very sturdy interior the potential score they provide. by changing the speaker resistance it additionally reduces the potential going to the audio gadget. in case you had a receiver then it would be no concern in any respect, as a results of they are rated to handle audio gadget from 4 to eight OHM. desire this might assist you out.

Q:Alright, i have an Macbook labtop and the built-in speakers are kinda weak. So i bought Logitech V20 speakers. I connected everything correctly, but when i put music on it went off on the macbook speakers rather then the Logitech speakers. Whenever i push the volume up or down it just controls the Macbook Speakers. Same thing as theplay and pause. So i was just wondering how to have to music play out of the Logitech speakers rather than the macbook built-in speakers or both the macbook speakers and the Logitech speakers

go to system preferencessound. and choose where to output the sound to. the default is probably the built in speakers. change it to line out to output the sound to your logitech speakers.

Q:How should I wire my 4 speakers to connect them to my 2 channel amp? Speakers are all 4 ohms, wattage matches, amp is 2 ohm stable. I realize they need to be wired in parallel but that doesn't mean anything to me. Looking at diagrams it seems like I will need a wire running between my front door speakers and a similar wire between the speakers in the rear deck. Rear deck would be easy but not from door to door. I also realize my ability to fade will be gone Any help will be much appreciated.

m.seimg /product/img/subwoofer You don't have to do the parallel wiring from speaker to speaker. You can just run two sets of speaker wires from the amp terminals - one for each speaker -- it will still be wired parallel.
