Also get a ac adaptor from radio shark to power the speakers (so your kids can't run down the batt's). Plus think fo the WOW Power you'll get from your kids, eh superdad? If you want stereo then you can get the Pro Audio Spectrum 16, and connect it to you stereo system. There's just no limit. Bill (lewis@oasys.dt.navy.mil)
