Look at that! My friend just showed me these, and he says there pretty good. Does anyone have any opinions to this speaker system?

Where did you get 2000 watts? It says Total 60 Watts Power Output (rms).

hahaha yea i was a little skeptical, I was like it says 2000 watts for P.M.P.O, there is no way they could only be 50 bucks hahaha thanks

PMPO = pseudo-random number marketing pulled out of their butts. Its pure fiction.

yeah....never go by PMPO...always go with the RMS ratings when you are looking at power

also note that power doesn't necessarily relate to how good speakers sound

They don't also sell out of white van do they?

They might be ok for $50, but for that price you're better off getting a cheap 4.1 Altec Lansing or other more reputable set.

Watts only have to do with how much amplifier power your speaker theoretically can handle...it is used for marketing purposes. Only. Sound quality has absolutely nothing to do with "watts".

I've NEVER been able to blow a "low-watt" speaker with a good amplifier (even "higher-powered" than the speaker), but with a low-power amplifier it is relatively easy to destroy even a high-quality loudspeaker.
