    I am looking for a set of cheap PC speakers that don't have a digital on/off switch. (meaning I need a switch that CLICKS to stay on)... and has GREAT sound and good bass.

    My speakers in the monster in box are old and busted now. About to start a search but it's always good to ask first...

    TIA

    Would those $6 Big Lots computer speakers work for you? They do have an on/off switch.

    OK, I got a tip to try a guitar amp at a pawn shop. It worked great, terrific bass.

    But, it has to have a CD in input and the ability to turn the CD's sound up. I got a little guitar practice amp that didn't have the ability to turn the sound up on the CD input but no matter it was loud anyway. Oh, you have to get an adapter so the little plug for the computer/IPod sound can go into the 1/4 jack.

    You can hear it doing the background bubbling noise for Terra in this video. The IPod is laying on top of the amp:

    Needs to be PC speaker size, unfortunately. I have a cowlicious board programmed with my monster sound, and the speakers mount inside the box. Not much space.

    Yeah, I'm digging around CL and other sites. Trying to find a good set, ya know? PC speakers are easy to find cheap...but the quality is typically less than desirable.

    Thanks again.

    I usually try Cyberguys. They seem to have speakers really cheap!

    These are pretty cheap and small, I'm using two of them inside of my grave digger. American Science & Surplus : Search Results for "computer speaker"
