I am a noob producer and I do not have any decent speakers to make Hardcore, so could anyone point me in the direction of an alright set of speaker (or if anything else is essential) with a price of below 180 (that may sound low to most but I am essentially just starting to produce). would I need to force higher in price?

a) they're still speakers LOL shades
b) A monitoring environment (what you use to mix in) is only as good as its weakest link. Having a $20,000 pair of full field studio monitors is shit if you have a shitty on board sound card. You'll need an external audio interface.
c) behringer truths are the cheapest pair of monitors from memory but i don't know the value of them (they suck compared to ones $200 more expensive)
d) my advice is if you're JUST starting to produce, get the external audio interface ($200 for an entry level) and get a set of decent production headphones ($50 for the cheapest, worst pair) and see if you even enjoy it. A couple of months of that and if you want to upgrade, get the monitors.
e) What a lot of people don't understand is that a monitoring environment doesn't end with a good sound card and good monitors. You'd end up with a ****ing TERRIBLE mix if you took Genelec 8020As and a pro sound card and mixed it in a garage. The room, the speakers, your position to the speakers, what's IN the room even, the sound card all make a difference to your mix.

I have 1kw of speakers in here. They suck but at least I can listen to anything I produce loud. I crave the neighbours' approval, you see.
