And so it came to pass, on 11-03-96 14:45,
   that Jamie Howarth spake unto Matt Ion:
 JH> Ahh, okay, I've kinda turned off that track now, finding you can
 JH> get a pair of 300w speakers for around $90 new, you reckon that's a
 JH> good price?? 
Umm... no.
First of all, about the only drivers you'll find for the car that are rated 
at 300W or more, are subwoofers.  Keep in mind that the power rating of 
speakers means NOTHING except as an indicator of how much power they'll 
handle (or more specifically, how much heat they'll dissipate).  The amount 
of power you actually crank into them will depend on the output of the amp 
driving them, and a myriad of other design factors that affect power output 
and how it's measured.
Secondly, you won't likely find "good" speakers for $90, period.
 JH> where's the best place to buy that kinda stuff around melb area you
 JH> reckon???  Just I love music, rap music, need good bassy speakers
 JH> for my car.
You want that kind of bass, you have two choices: spend several hundred 
dollars to do it right the first time, or spend about a hundred for a cheap 
amp and cheap subs in a cheap box, and then replace blown drivers on a 
regular basis.
 JH> You sound like you know what you're on about, what type of
 JH> setup/price would you suggest?? where should I buy from?
Seeing as I'm in Canada and you're in Australia, I can't really recommend a 
PLACE.  I would recommend checking your local yellow pages for car audio 
specialty shops (not those "electronics superstore" dumps) and talk to a 
salesman *and an installer* about designing a proper system *for your car*.
