Default kustom speakers?

a friend's garage band is looking to get new speakers. They are looking at Kustom speakers. I was wondering if anyone had used the before because I know nothing about their quality. The band plays for small gigs like restaurants and parties and the sort, i guess you could say they play for 100 person audiences. So are they any good, if not what would be the ideal brand/power handling?

Thank you!

They are inexpensive, but very cheaply built. They are constructed with cheap components and particle board. If you are looking for cheap, I would recommend Madison or Wharfedale. Stay clear of Kustom and StageWorks, as well as anything by NADY.

Cheap stuff for teenage garage bands.
