Yes, I don't know much about audio equipment, but I have learned that no one at Pyle knows any better than me.When I received these speakers, none of the tweeters were working on one of them - it turns out they were all connected in serial and one tweeter was never connected. Also, the power terminals are arranged one way on one cabinet, and upside-down on the other.
Thanks for the link, the sub looks nice (but what do I know?). Unfortunately, it's not within my budget. Do you have any suggestions on speakers that are within the same price range as these Pyles (under $200 per speaker)? I know I will never get what I REALLY want to hear with my budget (as many audiosnobs at another forum not-so-kindly grilled into me), but I would like to know if anything in this price range might be better than what I have now.

Your description of the speaker cabinets leads me to one possible situation: the 15" woofers are out of polarity with each other. Set up the speakers, fed with an identical signal, and flip the polarity of the leads, and listen carefully to see if the bass "comes back". It sounds like someone's been inside the cabinets, and it is very possible things did not get rewired correctly. It still isn't going to change the fact the cabinets aren't all that good, and that you may still need a subwoofer, but it may help.Best regards,
