schundog Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have a cheap SHS (?) PA in the Man Cave. It's just for vocals, and it's pretty cheesy. Well, today, while I didn't upgrade the actual PA, I DID pick up a pair of, hopefully, much better speakers. I paid $100, if I remember correctly, for the PA, the 2 included speakers, speaker cables, and 2 mics. Not bad. It's been my setup for 4-5 years. My boys at the main Monster Pawn had this set of 15" Radio Shack (I know) speakers at $100 OBO on Ebay. My OBO was $60. The 'bay robot countered with $80. I went in today, offered $70 out the door, and they took it. They DO sound better than the smaller/cheaper SHS speakers, but I'm sure they will be better if/when I ever get a real PA. C'mon, a pair of really clean, non smoky carpet covered 15" speakers for $70?! I think I did OK. Now, if I could just get my vocals on pitch.... Here is one of the new speakers next to one of the old ones. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/swaimshop117.jpg[/img]"]https:// Here's my Cheap PA. prettty signifigant jump up.

schundog Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have a cheap SHS (?!) PA down in my basement used only for vocals for jam sessions. I bought it 4-5 years ago including the PA unit, speaker cables, 2 speakers, and 2 mics for $100 if I remember correctly. It has performed adequately. This past week, Monster Pawn, where I acquired the PA, had a set of 15" carpet covered speakers from Radio Shack (I know) for $99 OBO. I offered $60 online, and the robot countered with $80. I went in today and offered $70 out the door, no tax. They took it. They are definitely an improvement, but not as much as a real PA would. Anyway, here they are. This is one of the larger speakers next to one of the older, smaller ones, next to my DRRI for comparison. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/swaimshop117.jpg[/img]"]https:// Here's the cheap PA Another shot.

kbp810 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Doesn't look like a bad little simple setup, I've considered doing something similar as well; was debating between an acoustic amp and a small budget PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
