Cosef,you are using modded C3??

Guys, currently I connect an Edifier C3 speaker to my laptop. If I buy an external sound card, will it improve the sound? Any sound card recommended? Thanks

high end but dun have THX? =(

Edifier M3300 mod.

It begins with the fault of the wired controller at first. Since getting it outside my is not easy, and I've already paired the satellites with the other better subwoofer, i am now left with M3300 subwoofer without controller nor satellites. On the other hand, I have a decent satellites (from truck stereo i guess) which do not have a great enclosure. I tested it with a/d/s PQ8 amp.

With the help of Cosef pinout, I have tested the M3300 thru the pinout and verified that it's still working. So I am going to:
- Replace satellites with 4" mid and 2" tweeter
- Remove reflex port -> sealed
- Put on/off switch inside the M3300, so it's on all time, and at max volume too.
- Swap RCA output to input, so i just plug any source there.
- Integrate satellite into subwoofer.

So far I have dismantled all the parts, just waiting for sawing assistance.    Will post here if the speakers is finished.

Edifier C3 + Creative SB046A XtremeGamer Fatal1ty

could i gain some improvement if change SC to Asus Xonar Essense STX?

mainly for music listening and slight gaming.

still using cheap cables. <-- or do i need to change this first?

Cables should be the last thing you should upgrade in any system. You should save up rather than buy cables. Buying Xonar DX also will improve sound quality as it have a better DAC, same one as Elite Pro

Who know that cable might not anything for a DIYer ?

mayb he mean tat he is the DIYers who do not think cable is the 1st important ting...  

It depends. Some people prefer the cheapest method, some would rather wait. For me cable is just to finetune the taste after everything else is done.

About swappable opamp, some might dig it, some don't want the hassle rolling them. For stock sound, the DX is good, if he want cheap soundcard that have swappable opamp take Xonar DS

finally finished it. to get rid of the leak, I used some blu-tacks as the 'washer' of the speakers, it actually works. Also use blue marker to make the speakers color a bit lively (purple). Removed on/off switch so it's basically on forever.

Sound-wise well it's not disappointing. only complaint would the M3300 amp seems to drive it too bright. Good thing is I successfully replace the RCA out become RCA in, so there is no need to use the serial port anymore. Bad thing is I think I messed up the soldering or cabling when I last paste the blu-tack because shortly after that, when I knocked the system will give some ground loop problem. Next part would be fixing all the solder job and paint the hole black. Currently use blue marker to estimate how it will look after paint.

Now my Edifier M3300 is back to life, become a one-piece system, and it also actually gain alot of weight
