(Part 3) Top products from r/SoundSystem

I'm thinking it's doable for around $1,000. Thanks for asking /r/ZeosPantera!

What about using basically a karaoke system? Would that work for my needs? It's not going to be the high quality kind of thing you guys normally talk about here, but it may fit what we want.

If so, the best seem to be the Roland B-55 (Amazon link) or the Hisonic PA-687S. They only support two wireless mics at a time, but I could probably make that work. The key reason why I like them is because they support line out. Which I could then plug into a computer via an adapter (like the Behringer UFO202 Audio Interface). I honestly don't know if this would actually work though.

Could I use a mic/amp and audio interface setup like this as audio for software like Skype? I just don't want to spend this much money and find it doesn't work.

^Edit: ^Added ^the ^second ^amp/speaker ^option

I'd get two of these, specifically. The B212D's if you can afford them, they'll be significantly louder & more bass (but still won't be very strong, you'll need a sub for that).

As for cables, if you might want to hook up a mic or multiple things or need an easy volume control (each speaker will have its own, but you may be able to use your laptop's), get a tiny cheap Behringer mixer. If it's just one device, you can use a cable like this (since those speakers have 1/4" inputs, cheaper than XLR), and extensions like this if needed

Strongly consider speaker stands if needed, they should be about ear level.

[this would be fine if it works but its cheap as fuck and will probably break fast as hell](http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Pro-PTA1000-1000-Amplifier/dp/B0010K6TXQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1377287013&sr=1-1&keywords=500+watt+amp "yay china"). Split up the center speakers, wire them in series parallel if you can, and get a splitter from your source to input the second amp an that should boost your volume pretty decently.

You could do it with simple RCA Y-splits.

If you want separate level control without having to go to the speakers to turn up or down, you might be able to use this:

and run it backwards. I.e., input going into the holes labled "output" and then the signal is split across the 4 stereo "inputs" which are now your outputs. You might have a little signal loss doing that, but it's also totally passive - one less thing to have to plug in.

You could also do it with a little headphone mixer like this guy:

with some 1/4" stereo -> RCA cables.

would these be much better?

Does the garage have a light? Ive used an extension cord plus one of these in a similar situation before.

I think i was using the wrong adapter by accident. Just bought this, hopefully everything works better after. Should i wire the speakers individually to each channel?
