Dubstep speakers setup

[Coobro]

Hi guys, have $500 for a speaker system and am looking to get some good dubstep speakers. I know that I will probably need to buy a subwoofer with my speakers. What do you guys recommend I with $500 and under. $500 is my absolute top and I will mainly be listening to heavy bass drops and a lot of dubstep songs.

Thanks for any help

that is an unpowered (passive) subwoofer so it would need its own amplifier as the receiver does not have provisions for this. you could re-use the control box of the micro system as an amp (provided it has a 3.5mm input) if you wanted however that would make for a rather messy looking setup. you would need a splitter on the 3.5mm output from your pc for it though (again, messy).

no, it would not be a good idea to just wire it up with the two other speakers. likely this will blow the subwoofer or damage the receiver with the additional load placed on it.

Oh ok haha because that subwoofers blows a lot of air I can stand 2 meters behind it and will feel it haha. So that is all I need to buy correct?

well, my personal choice would be a more normal receiver with hdmi, optical and a subwoofer pre-out rca jack.... and to get a powered subwoofer (in the future if needed) instead of going with the more limited stereo receiver you wanted to. i'd also connect via optical.

but thats your choice, i've told you the limitations already.

if you wanted to go with those speakers and the stereo receiver as discussed then all you'd need is speaker wire and a way to connect the system up to your source. a 3.5mm stereo male to 2x rca red+white splitter cable would work. if you wanted to use your subwoofer and your old control box for it has 3.5mm or 2xrca input then i'd get a 3.5mm splitter to put on your pc output... and then either use a 3.5mm/3.5mm cable or 3.5mm/2xrca cable depending on what kind of input it has.
