please whore out your HT systems guys...post some pics

My room is quite large. If I had to guess it's like 15Wx25Lx8H. I use a 46" samsung so the video is covered.

I use the tv mostly for gaming, music, movies....quite evenly, not one more than the other.

Like I said, i think my yamaha struggles with those at half volume but they sound quite nice for listening to shitty mp3s...played cod 5 zombies yesterday...they sound amazing with some good input like the xbox puts out. Very crisp and enough volume.


Rear speakers aren't that important right? Just fillers basically?

I don't think that sub has enough power to fill that whole room. How much power does your receiver put out?

The rear are important for surround sound. The center is the most important speaker when watching movies. Most of the sound comes from it.

Before I upgraded my speakers, I could raise the volume up to about where it was loud. But not loud that you couldn't talk.
With the Polks, its deafing but clear as a bell. My system will shake all the windows....... at my neighbors house.


It all depends what you are trying to do. I want to be totally immersed in the movie I am watching.
Watching a horror movie in 7.1 is nuts.
Any decent surround sound is better than no surround sound.

I installed a Home Theater in a Box in my friends Apartment. It sounded good for what it was. You couldn't get it really loud, but you had all the effects of 5.1

The sub is an aiwa ts-45...not great by any means but better than nothing

I'll do pics tomorrow, it's getting late

So what should I upgrade? Sub first I would think

[Ed Blown Vert]

I would do the sub last.

Save your $$$ and get the best sub u can. Subs add soooo much impact to HT, but they ain't cheap.

Exactly. Spend $$$$$ on the sub. If you want big impact! I spent $400 for my 10" Klipsch 9 years ago, it rocked the small room it was in. Made pictures fall off the wall. Now in its' new room, I'd like another one.

Thats my sub, but I'd LOVE to upgrade to an HSU 3.3. My sub fills up my room quite nicely and has no probs knockin shit off my wall, if I choose too, haha. HSU's are just in a whole nother league, from what i've been told.
I have a Harman Kardon 254 reciever and AV123 ELT system. Reciever is new but someday I'll upgrade the speakers to prolly a Paradigm or Aperion system. I just need to win the lotto.
