Shop Tunes

[Getsome]

I have a Denon CD player that I want to hook up as soon as I can find some cheap home speakers or some 6x9's. I'm also thinking about taking our surround sound system off the TV and installing it in the garage since the kids have messed with it so much it sounds like mud now. I have a mini-boom box that I'm using now but if you think about how much time we spend working on our junk tunes are a must.

Nothing better then hearing the black album in the back ground while gringing off spring perches.

So wat you gat fool?

Speakers mounted right into the drywall, cant remember what they were called but they were meant for that. One in each corner and wired right into a mini system housed inside a cabinet. Ran a piece of wire rope up into the attic to improve on radio reception. Thing sounds pretty good and pounds alright. I can turn it up loud enough to drown out most of the grinding noise which the neighbours rather hear Country or AC/DC than shop noise.

I have a tv in my shop and normally listen to and occasionally glance at the tv ... I sometimes listen to music but normally the tv. I'm working installing surround in the shop so I can hear better when the 36" cooling fan is going ... shop A/C is next

Yeah, I'm interested in that too. Also are they indoor/outdoor speakers that can take the heat in AZ?

In the garage now is an older high-end Sony reciever that I bought in high school that still makes almost any speaker sound good and an old shitty pair of floor speakers that my once owned cats pissed all over (hence why they are once-owned). My current 5 disc cd changer is about to be retired from the living room and moved to the garage as well. As for tunes, anything heavy, fortunately, my neighbors are really cool.

While we are on the subject, does anybody know of any hard rock/metal bands that have no vocals and are good? I am having a really hard time finding some.

I have an old stereo that's used mostly as an amplifier for the computer.

Most of the time I'm streaming KNAC.com via Real.. sometimes it's MP3s streamed from the server in the house.

[ImNotRight]

took my house system and put it in the garage.. with 14 month old and new kid on the way it never got turned on anyways..

I actually prefer TV in the shop over radio, but I sold the 32" TV last fall

Right now I have an old stereo in the shop office that we just turn up real loud so it can be heard throughout the shop.

[preach]

Aiawa mini system with 3 disc changer blah, blah. Antenna needs some help (I ALWAYS have poor reception it seems...in all 4 vehicles and the house and shop ).

Works just fine for the size of the shop.

I have an old Pioneer receiver with the matching wood boxed speakers in the shop

It cranks pretty good! It is one of the high end receivers and speakers from the 70's

Its like this one...



With these exact speakers
MODEL CS-99

[sothpaw]

Onkyo receiver, Audio Alchemy CD player, Boston Acoustic bookshelf speakers. Prewired the walls and mounted the speakers up high in the corner. Also fed the TV into it so I can hear it wherever I am working.

In my last shop I had a 20 year old "boom box" that wouldn't stay tuned to a station. Never again!

[Lemoore-on]

I just ditched the boom box for the home system the other day. Reciever, 6 disc changer and some floor speakers. The suround system has taken over the house music duties.

[Flatfenderman]

I put an old cheapy home system in my shop too. For speakers I found a set of automotive speakers mounted in carpeted box with tweaters at Walmart for just $15! I bought two sets and put one on each end of my shop and gotta say they work great! If ya wanna pic just say so...

Klipsch 2.1 computer speakers and ipod. Doesn't take much space and the sound is decent.

Tell me about your program ? I need to start making up some mp3's. Unless you want to burn the ones you've got and I'll pay you for them.

speakers one on each side of the garage

[preach]

8-track.

[Mr. Happy...OK?]

Pioneer Amp and ancient 6 disc changer.
2 10" Cerwin Vega house speakers mounted at either end of the shop.
I'm never in the house anyway.

[dcgrove]

I use an old laptop with a wireless card hooked up to a mini system to stream MP3's off of my computer in the house. I could listen for 84 hours or so and not hear the same song twice and no commercials.

[HossCat]

I have a Pioneer car stereo and 300 watt amp and 4 6x9 speakers wired up in the shop. Powered by a AC to DC converter. It does a pretty good job of keeping the neighbors awake.

[1GMC4x4]

I have a computer in my garage that has DSL and I run iTunes

[bluesman2a]

Dennon amp... wired the whole house for sound... Garage has 2 Klipsch all-weather speakers on gimbal mounts... Music is served from an Audiotron (MP3 network device that serves music to the home stereo via ethernet)... 800+ songs on shuffle...
