My sub should be behind my tv to be specific * I just don't have time and room to make it perfect how I want it ..And those are old speakers I had..You should see my 2 club 16 inches 3000 watts speakers....ya you heard me

lol the 3000 watts part makes it impossible for me to take them seriously now. Unless they're exceeding 120db (doubt it) I'm just going to assume that they're very inefficient and probably have aluminum voice coils (which can handle that wattage, but sound like sheet metal) and the drivers themselves are probably made of plastic instead of paper as well.

LOL, sure they are... (maybe) but not if they are plastic. ALWAYS tell your grocery clerk PAPER not PLASTIC!

I actually know a little bit about speaker construction. Paper is the best material to use on the cones and voice coils because it has next to no distortion or anything else that can alter the signal. Plastic is the next best thing (but still doesn't sound as clear) and aluminum is full-retard except in special applications. Plastic or metal cones and aluminum voice coils (along with rubber surrounds) should really only be used in speakers that are intended to be put through hell and back, such as those used in cars and exposed to a variety of temperature/climate changes. The best sounding drivers are those that use paper cones, paper voice coils, and cloth surrounds and are generally housed in high quality cabinets. That's why a lot of mid and late 70s and early 80s speakers (such as those made by Sansui) sound good and are highly sought after. The only down side of paper is that it's prone to damage from serious climate changes and paper voice coils can burn up if you run them higher than their listed power ratings.

LOL, and when you say BURN, you really do mean BURN! I've personally seen it happen... amazing sight.
