I got one of those little JBL janks. Iโ€™ll post a pic later. It does have some bump to it.

My friends all rock with Turtleboxes, they synch them up for surround sound at the beach. They seem to be really great quality and hold up to salt and sand. $400ish is a bit steep though.

I noticed name brands that make portable/mobile speakers took away some of the Input Slots that some people still use:

ย

ย 

The input are:

ย 

*SD Cards

*USB Drives

*RCAs

ย 

I was asked to search a speaker with those inputs and found this:

ย 

ย 

If you notice the digital screen,ย  most products that have that are the cheap shit.ย  This one comes in at $115, with a bunch of tuning stuff. It has been ordered.

ย 

If you are looking for something cheap, but want the product to still shine,ย  spend about $100-$150. So far, I have been lucky with other products at that range. I bought two speakers like this for a quick DJ and the $350 some speakers (2) did all right and they were loud. Sold them, and upgraded.

ย 

The Speaker is a 15" with Tweeter.ย  Can be chained to any other speaker.ย  It is rechargeable, comes with wheels/handle. It is being used for a small application,ย  but this thing is ment for parties:

I don't expect the Bass to be all that. Everything else should be dead on. Can't wait to try it out.

It's time to Upgrade my car battery and about to drop some good money on it to make my sound system louder.

ย 

I will be upgrading my Alpine Subwoofer with a Skar one some time. At the moment, I'm fixing this box and applying vynal to make it more sturdy.ย  You will see the vynal on the left side, top plate will be painted black.

Yo, @T4M*, any recommendations for a semi budget friendly receiver and speakers to plug my tables into? Thatโ€™s the main thing holding me up from subscribing to your scratch school video series. I got rid of my old one during a move.

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

Better get these quick, on sale now.

I would stay away from receivers, you add up more wires. Depending on budget number, I can recommend other self amp speakers.

ย 

The receiver is only fancy with the multiple inputs and maybe EQ features.ย  If you need multiple things hooked up to the speakers, there's cheaper options.

ย 

All other speaker were higher in price. The pioneers and Rockville are up for grabs. The 12" set is the best choice.

ย 

@LUGR

ย 

ย 


Yeah, the 12โ€ are the way to go out of those two. Thanks for the help. Iโ€™m going to order today.

ย 

Pretty excited to see how it sounds with new needles and speakers. I have never really had these set up decent, always been half assed.

Lol they are going to thump that room up! What about that bluetooth speaker, any good ?

ย 

@LUGR


I havenโ€™t peeped it too thoroughly. Seems alright, pretty small. I didnโ€™t even hook the big speakers up yet. Just set them on the stands. Had some other shit I had to do. Iโ€™ll check everything out tomorrow when I have more time.

ย 

Thanks again.

You got a better solution? That was given to me a long time ago and I had never used it. Saved me trip to the store.

ย 

Just hooked the speakers up and they are dope. Bluetooth capability is awesome. Not sure I will ever use them to their full potential though. These thingโ€™s definitely have that bump.

Hmmmmmโ€ฆ..need help with EQ and levels.

ย 

Cant get them to sound right with the turntables. Sounds pretty hollow. Any pointers on where my settings should be? Bluetooth sounds fine.

ย 

Spent some time messing with itโ€ฆ..

ย 

I think I need to run RCA from mixer master output into Line In on the back of the speaker. Probably noob problems. Donโ€™t have those cables right now.

ย 

Whatโ€™s your thought @T4M*?

Itโ€™s weird, I have the โ€œlineโ€ button selectedโ€ฆ.so it should work, I think. But the baby speaker I was using as a temp sounds so much more full. Iโ€™m going to run and buy some RCA cables.

Press the EQ button and see what it does. Maybe it's a filter button.

ย 

@LUGR


Iโ€™ll mess with it more tomorrow. I tried pressing EQ earlier and it didnโ€™t seem to do anything, but directions did say it had some preset EQโ€™s.

ย 

Can you school me a bit on EQ settings? The directions for speakers say to not set volumes over 75%. ย Have bass and treble on back of speakers and bass, treble and mods on mixer also. I always just set them by ear but donโ€™t really know if I am maximizing the sound. Also have master volume, gain and the vertical volume slide for each channel on the mixer.
