Lots of bang for your buck

Needing an accurate digital level the Digi-Pas  DWL280PRO fit the bill. The price was an incredible 6 times cheaper than Stabilia, with the equivalent accuracy. This level is built with solid construction and a bright easy to read digital readout. Once you self calibrate, there is no more guessing if the bubble is centered or asking yourself is this level accurate? The speed and exact level or plumb reading at a glance, is priceless.

This is just an insane kit for the money. WELL WORTH IT! Even if you only use a handful of the attachments they are solid, high quality, and incredibly versatile.

Great bang for your buck. The cloth top is nice and smooth and the rubbery underside makes sure it doesn't slip around where you place it. Large enough to fit a full sized keyboard and your mouse with plenty of space left. The water proofing is a nice touch in case you're like me and have a single coaster in the entire house. Condensation off my water bottles and sodas haven't left any noticeable effects or defects.

If you're into the cloth style mouse pad as opposed to the hard plastic ones, save yourself some cash and buy this - it's great for what you pay.

These are among the least expensive speakers I have purchased, and are a great bang for the buck. I currently have them installed in an FJ40 (no interior sound deadening materials whatsoever) in 6x9 boxes, connected to a Kicker 08ZX100.2 amp @ 50watts x 2. The sound quality is great for no sub. I do not like to advertise that I have aftermarket sound equipment in the vehicle, so I did not really want explosive, loud bass. These sound tight and sharp. I may add a subwoofer later , but at this time I am very happy with the rich vocals and clear highs these produce. Granted, they are not up there with Focal Audio, or even Kenwood Excelon's, but for $50-$70, you really get your money's worth out of them. I will post an updated review at a later time if the foam surrounds wear out sooner than expected. Normally, I only get butyl rubber surrounds, but at the price, I will not complain.

Other speakers I currently have are:
Kenwood KFC-1662s - cheap and easy to find. Stock replacements for those not interested in "HiFi".
Kenwood KFC-X692 - More expensive than these, and worth it. At more than twice the price of the Rockford's, you can expect a lot, and these deliver. Seem to have much more bass when used full range, with or without an amp.
Infinity Reference 5022 - Good stock upgrades, purchased two pairs for $100 when on sale. They are in my daily driver. They sound clear and tight, but seem to be missing a few mid-range frequencies. I have to turn them up kind up loud to hear vocals clearly. Not much bass, but for 5.25", I shouldn't complain since I have a small sub to help them out.

This system is my first big system. I've been waiting 2 years to get it, upon research. This seems to be the best entry level bang for your buck. I am quite impressed with the quality of the units, they are all heavy, and feel solid. I put 16gauge wire in them, no problem. I am using component on my receiver (until I get a newer xbox) along with the optical audio.

The setup system is pretty cheesy and reminds me of Microsoft dos, but its pretty straight forward. I highly recommend reading the initial setup if you're new to big audio like I was. I found out alot.

The other posts state a hum coming from the Sub, I can confirm this, but I'd still buy is as you can only hear it in the dead of night, and not while watching a movie.

The controller is easy to operate as well. The piano black finish looks great.

I would buy again!

P.S. the amazon 3rd party member whom I bought this system from, even included a thankyou card hand written. I was blown away by that. You don't see that anymore these days. It was much appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

This unit is worth over $499.00 but I picked it up for a little over $200.00. Has Bluetooth, MP3 player, FM transmitter, picture viewer (maybe not safe to use while driving), the list is endless. This unit does it all. In an age of increasingly multi-use devices, this device does the job of so many items in one package.
You will not be disappointed. I am considering picking up the visor-mount speaker phone to make handsfree calling a little more audible.

Purchased these speakers about a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with the bang for the buck. They were a little bit stiff at first, but after breaking them in for a few months the sound imaging is solid. Primary use is music, with a few movies here and there. I don't have a surround setup, so these speakers carry the full load. Even without dedicated center and surround channels, they do the job quite nicely.

These are set up in my living room, which is about 20 x 10, carpeted, with 12 foot ceilings. Imaging doesn't seem to be a problem, I get full colorful sound at all volume levels, even with all the upholstered surfaces. FM radio even sounds pretty amazing with these, with completely clear stereo channel segregation and a nice warm tone.

Of course results will vary, but if you pump enough power to them, these speakers will not disappoint. Make sure to calibrate them to your specific room. My Pioneer receiver has a self-calibration mode with a wired microphone to set things up, after I did that the sound quality increased by a decent amount.

The reason I'm only giving these speakers 4 stars is that the bass response leaves something to be desired. But considering that the cones are only something like 6 inches, it's about what I expected. However, with a subwoofer hooked up, these things jam.

Bottom line, a great sounding speaker for the buck. Add a dedicated subwoofer to fill in the bottom end and you'll be more than happy with your purchase.

Great bang for your buck.

Pros
Sounds great. Sounds much better than the built in audio from thin TVs, even on a $1500 TV.
Clarity and bass is great, dialog and conversations are easier to hear than the built in speakers on my TV. Very full sounding audio with a good amount of bass.
Everything you need is right in the box, every single input it supports comes with a cable.
Bluetooth is a nice bonus at this price point.

Cons
First unit I received had crackling on the right half of the speaker. Makes me a bit worried their may be quality control issues. Returned and received a new unit without this issue. Could have been just a fluke, or damaged in shipping. No lowering the rating for this issue.
Switching between audio inputs has a bit too much delay. I sometimes skip over the correct input by hitting the input button too quickly, takes about 2-3 seconds before audio starts playing, and if you skip the correct source, you have to loop around.

Can't beat the price and value.  More than I expected.

Even better than expected.  A bargain at the price.

Good bang for the buck . All the features of a model twice the price.

I picked up this machine after pricing separate components in the same league and have not been dissapointed.  Solid performance for the price, without the hassle of building it myself, given my recently busy schedule.

Compared to all other machines at this price point, it offered best bang for buck.

In fact, I tried to order two - one for myself and one for my wife, only to discover that they were gone by the time I did.  I went to my second choice, which is a Cyberpower machine with a less appealing form factor, quite a bit more price, and not much more 'bang' for it.

Very good machine.

For around $100, the value provided by this kit is pretty amazing.  I paired this mic with a Tascam DR-40 digital recorder, which gives me a really versatile setup.  Since this is a shotgun mic, keep in mind that it is very directional and mono.  I use an inexpensive Hosa XLR splitter to record the same audio to both the left and right channels on my recorder, which saves me a step in post-production.

The kit includes a short XLR cable, short XLR-to-1/8" cable, a long (26 foot, I believe) XLR cable, and a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter.  That means that no matter what audio input you have, you should be able to use this mic right out of the box.  The shock mount is awfully nice to have for on-camera mounting (a shock mount can easily run $30 or so on its own) and the two windscreens (foam and "dead cat"-style) mean that you should be able to shoot both inside and outdoors.  The foam handle, which I thought would be useless, is actually pretty nice; the bottom has a 3/8" tripod mount with a 1/4" adapter, so it could be used for a variety of purposes.  The case is nice and sturdy, although everything is packed in there pretty tightly - you probably don't want to store the long XLR cable in there permanently.

The microphone itself captures nice clean mono audio without too much hiss.  I wouldn't put it up against a $500 microphone, but I think it stacks up very nicely against mics in the $200 range.

The really nice thing about this kit is its adaptability.  I shoot video on a DSLR and this kit lets me run audio to either the camera, a digital recorder, or a mixer; mount to either the camera hotshoe, a mic stand, or a boom pole; and capture sound indoors or out - all without any additional purchases.  The construction quality is not top-of-the-line - the cables especially are a little thin and slightly cheap feeling - but everything is functional and seems fairly sturdy.  If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get a comprehensive adaptable audio setup for video work, I'd highly recommend this kit.
