My speakers just died on me after some power surge dealio. I'm not really sure what happened, they just won't turn on anymore. My sub still works I think, but I might buy a new one in a setup if it's cheap enough. I'm heading into victoria probably in 2 weeks to check futureshop for some more.

Got any suggestions? these are for a computer, and they need to be cheap.
 
First of all, going for a cheap sub is a waste of money. If you don't want to sound like a ricer, spend a little more and get something nice or go with your current setup.

Secondly, if your speakers just aren't getting any other problems then it isn't because they are blown. If your speakers are blown, you will know. They will get just as much power but will be distorted sounding like crazy. How do you know if it was a power surge? First and foremost to a thinking "no power + power surge" is blown fuse. Check your fuses. Does your deck still work? Is it aftermarket? That could be a fuse blown. What kind of car do you have? It could either have a factory amplifier for your speakers or maybe you have one installed, cause a connection from that could have loosened or something.

Anyway, chances are if you had a power surge you just blew a fuse. That is the only real explanation for both speakers to have no power, because as I said if they were blown they would still be getting power.
 
hahaha wow I feel stupid, goes to show my reading skills. Your best bet would be www.newegg.com sick prices and you can get some nice deals. Unfortunately alot of systems are speaker/sub combos but you might be able to find something.
 
If you happen to have an electronics recycle center near your house check that place out. I've grabed various speakers and amps from one near my house. One set of Bose speakers I grabbed retails at over 1000, and I sold em off on eBay for 300. Usually the stuff at these places still works, people just wan't to get rid of it to have the next and best.
