    Default Loudest sound system if as little outlay as poss?

    Im looking at building up a sound system for as little as poss money.

    Before i had a 300wrms 15" skytec speakers x2 through a soundlab 500w amp which i have since realised was running at about 250w per channel due to the ohms of the speakers.

    What would you recommend as looking at about 600wrms per speaker and at least 500w coming from the amp and what people hear after calcualting ohms etc!

    Dont mind going second hand but budget cant stretch over £450 - lower if at all possible.

    Hi Mate

    Check out the search facility and type in Class D, a few members here use them, they are very reasonable but can be on the large side. I have the CD15SP's and they are a good full range speaker for anyone on a budget.

    There are loads of amps out there but again use the search button for some very useful information.

    thanks.Have looked at the class d`s but got overwhelmed by how many differnt models there are.

    Ive looked here and found a couple of interesting setups.
    What amp would you recommend to go with these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2600W-2-X-Clas...3A1%7C294%3A50

    Or what amp to go with these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1400W-Pair-of-...3A1%7C294%3A50

    What about this to power them for just the cd15sp http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EP2000-Behring...3A1%7C294%3A30

    Or this to power the cd12sp & cd15 subs - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EP4000-Behring...3A1%7C294%3A30

    Ok would the following work together: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EP4000-Behring...3A1%7C294%3A30
    and this speaker setup : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2600W-2-X-Clas...3A1%7C294%3A50


    OR A BIT CHEAPER::

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1400W-Pair-of-...3A1%7C294%3A50
    and this amp : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EP2000-Behring...3A1%7C294%3A30

    My posts keep going missing when ive asked if certain packages i find go together. Is ebay links not allowed?

    What about if i get CD15SP with a behringer EP2000 amp OR CD12SP & CD15 subs with an Behringer EP4000 amp?

    If you are any good with woodwork, I could supply you a plan to build your own cab for free.

    I made up a plan for another forum member and he was very happy with the results.


    As for Class-D. They are not the most efficient speakers out there, but from what I have read, they sound good.

    If you go with the CD15SP's try and get an amp which gives out 500w at 8 ohms, then you should have some power left over to maybe run a single sub if you need more bass in the future.

    Bear in mind these speakers are HUGE and won't fit into many cars, I have a Zafira and they go in with the seats fully forward, but some members have encountered problems in getting them into an Escort Estate for example, something to mear in mind before you shell out your hard earned.

    Some of us have trouble getting them (CD 15SP) on to a speaker stand--which is a shame because I think the sound is excellent for the price--apparently there are people in Yorkshire who can do this--Ive seen them

    Im probably going for bass reinforcement with the Bass Cab CD15N when their new lightweight amp comes out.

    Personally I think Class D have one of the smallest and simplest range of speakers on their website---
