I have a record player I'm currently using a jbl charge 3 as a speaker for, and I really want to upgrade my sound setup because my car is better than my house. The problem is I'm in about a 1200 sq ft house, and there's not a ton of room in any room. Any ideas on how to pimp out an audio setup without too much floor space?

It sounds like if you want "car audio" you want "party" speakers (i.e., bass) If youre in a house without neighbors, get at least a 10 inch sub to pair with some bookshelf speakers .

Almost all my gear was used. Don't get new. There are tons and tons of people getting rid of "grandpas" old sound system (because all anyone uses now are airpods and Bluetooth soundbars) so you can get crazy good deals on solid gear.

Also dont forget, speakers aren't headphones. They dont just sound the same e everywhere. The room and placement is probbaly 50-70% of the sound. So experiment with placement and buy some rockwool insulation panels to put in the corners. With small rooms youre going to have a lot of peaks and nulls, especially if dimensions are even

Feel free to pm me, im glad to help people get the most out of their room And gear.
