Can someone recommend a good 2.1 Speaker/Base system for roughly $100-150

Need a new speaker system im thinking of buying http://www.corsair.com/pc-computer-audio/pc-computer-speakers/corsair-gaming-audio-series-sp2200-2-1-pc-speaker-system.html but not too sure, any suggestions ?

I already posted this in your thread on the PC hardware boards, so I'll just copy and paste it here:

"This is slightly over your budget, but will be one of the best options.

Dayton B652 speakers + Dayton DTA-1 T-amp ($55)

and

Dayton SUB-100 subwoofer ($120 **this was on sale for $89, so it may drop again**)

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-633

TOTAL: $175

--or--

If you really can't afford that, then for less money the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 is an option, but will take a nice hit in performance compared to the option above.

Also those Corsair speakers are not worth it."

NVIDIATI has probably the best value option, meaning it's a sweet-spot in terms of what you're getting for every dollar you spend. However, you'll need to pick up the appropriate wiring (NVIDIATI, keep me honest), including a male-to-female 3.5mm splitter (insert into your PC output), 3.5mm cable to run from the splitter to the Dayton DTA-1, 3.5mm to RCA cable to run from the splitter to the subwoofer, and speaker wire to run from the DTA-1 to the speakers. In all that's four additional wiring components you will need to purchase, none of which are very expensive and - in total - should be less than $20 from the same site NVIDIATI referenced (Parts Express). Alternatively you might consider the Klipsch Promedia 2.1, which are highly regarded and a bit less DIY. I would personally go NVIDIATI's route, but depending on your preferences the Klipsch might be what you're looking for; good luck! BozBozanimal

Actually the DTA-1 comes with a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male, all he would need is some speaker wire.

PC (3.5mm to 3.5mm)> DTA-1 (speaker wire)> subwoofer (speaker wire)> speakers

As you can see the connection would be made using the 'high level in/out'

So it turns out to be $2 more for some speaker wire :P
