Hi!

Ahh, okay, I've kinda turned off that track now, finding you can get a
pair of 300w speakers for around $90 new, you reckon that's a good
price?? where's the best place to buy that kinda stuff around melb
area you reckon???  Just I love music, rap music, need good bassy
speakers for my car.
You sound like you know what you're on about, what type of setup/price
would you suggest?? where should I buy from?
   Thanks for your help!
