Generally, I mix in the reverse order of cheap to good.

I start with the really cheap speakers first when I am doing the first mix.

I have a pair of very inexpensive Insignia flat panel speakers I got from Best Buy. I think they were $9.99.

Putting them close together I can simulate mono (sort of) and definitely simulate a 1965 Chrysler Bel-Air dashboard radio speaker.

I have found that if I mix on these FIRST then the song is going to sound pretty flippin’ great on just about everything, with a few minor tweaks.

It is kind of amazing to me how much time it saves. If you get it sounding good on those, when you put it on the good speakers, or the car, or the headphones or anything, you go "Oh yeah."

A few minor tweaks, but we are talking minutes not hours.
