Yarr matey! There be lots of fish swimmin' below these nifty mounted speakers :laugh:
 
what size speaker wires do you peeps use? is it the standard or did you use a different one? im thinking about buying these and replacing the wire with 16guage monster speaker wire
 
yeh, my z5500 arrived today!! using standard wire-pretty gd length for stock wires!
:toast: For me i wld wory less about a wire upgrade, more about quality of my music and input cable quality.
 
Congrats! I'll move you to the owners section; If you'd fill out the requested information, I'll add that, too!

I think that would be a waste of money... the supplied cable is fine for the amp / speakers
try it and let us know if you can hear a difference, though I seriously doubt it

It wouldn't help you any. If anything adding larger gauge wires to a lower power output would cause more distortion dispite the BS "monster cable" marketing.:laugh:
 
Anyone else get the feeling that the Second Skin changes the sound of the audio coming out of it?
 
The second skin somewhat lowers the volume I guess?

I had tried it out but removed it because I preferred the original skin anyway.
 
Yeah.. I agree. I thought the bass was quieter too. I usually don't have it up far, but I did today and it didn't seem to be nearly as high as before.
 
The volume stepping is definitely different with the second skin. You notice there are no more half-increments with volume. As far as bass, I didn't notice any, but maybe I should do some comparisons...

Thanks for the link Christine.

I get monster cables for lcheap so there not expensive. example. 30' of 16guage speakers wire is $24 i get it for $8. but ok. i plan to buy em in about a month
 
Here's my simple set up.

Used to live in Westminster, which is pretty close to Newport. I used to do some volunteer work at Hoag hospital. Now I am in med school in Miami though. No more sale tax from Newegg for me but no time to really play with my computer.
 
I wish I had no sales tax from Newegg :cry:

Hope med school's going well for ya! Keep on the studies now and it'll be worth it in the long run.

...at least that's what they say :roll:

Haha I hope so too. All I see so far is HUGE student loan. I sure miss Fry's cuz I usually buy little stuffs there. This speaker is too loud. I turn it up 3 bars for BF2142 and the room is you can hear it in the whole apartment :laugh:.
 
Danish, I wish I was able to purchase stuff from Newegg! Their prices are dead cheap compared to what we get here in Europe! :cry:

To everyone:

Click this link to see how your Z-5500 bass performs. At even less than half the volume you should be feeling your window panes shaking! :D
 
Oh wow. That sucks.

Well, they're still $224 from CompUSA...I think...

Dang! Best price from a reliable place right now is $270 Shipped from ClubIT.
 
i paid 350 for mine. that was a bargain here in aus :P

I want to emphasise something, mostly because i didnt do it.

PLEASE put the rear speakers BEHIND and NOT BESIDE you!

Mine were behind, but not level with the front ones and it made teh surround effect very poor in games. They need to mirror the front speakers in order to sound right. It doesnt matter for music, but anything that relies on positional audio will be messed up if you dont do it that way.
