Performance

JBL SCS145.5S

The SCS145.5S is JBL's most affordably priced and compact speaker package. The six-piece 5.1 system comprises 5 tiny two-way satellite speakers and an 8-inch, 100-watt powered subwoofer. Speaker wire and wall brackets are also included.

Very good speakers

These speakers are awesome for the price I paid. The sound is clear and crisp. I live in an apartment and i never had the courage to test the subwoofer on it's highest level to avoid being evicted.

Clear sound, nice bass
