99GPGTX Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Since i have only basic home audio experience..i wanna make my 2k+ plasma tv sound as good as it looks... i have a 10 SSD i can use but i have no clue on speaker, receiver, box sizes, amp, etc i was thinking do a 5.1 setup. i can build towers so i can do multi speakers up front and would like to do like one for back left and one for back right surround. but like i said i have to clue what i would need and what would be a good match (speakers-->receiver) (SSD--->amp) etc. im thinkin like 500 for everything...no including enclosure cost. just speakers, receivers, amp etc... i also have a ps3 Edited April 16, 2009 by 99GPGTX Quote Currently: 2015 Evo X WW Forgestar F14 18s --Rally Armour Mudflaps ETS 3.5" FMIC, CAI, Open Dump DownPipe, Test Pipe, Ultimate Racing Catback, BLEVINS TUNE, Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers Build: Crescendo Mezzos x2 Crescendo 800.4, 1500.1 Loaded Fi Q12 Second Skin Pro XS D5100 RF 360.2 Sky High Audio Wiring Need: ALTERNATOR!

qu1cks1lver56 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 well you need some decent components to go in the cabinets, good crossovers, etc. as far as a 500 dollar budget, that kind of limits you on your receiver/amp choices. i could spend more than 500 on just the receiver.

BobbyG2 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Pioneer makes some pretty good receivers... http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=250-503 As far as the speakers go, try taking a look at the Dayton Classic line-up of drivers at Partsexpress.com. An idea is: 2x Dayton 8" Woofer (2 for Fronts): http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-310 7x Dayton 1" Silk Tweeter (2 for Fronts, 1 for center, and 2 for rears): http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=275-070 4x Dayton 5 1/4" Woofer (2 for Center and 2 for rears): http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-301 And I'm not sure on what you are looking for in a sub, but the Dayton DVC (non-sheilded) line-up I've heard is pretty good for home theater. May be a little out of your price-range though. 12" http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-185 15" http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-190 And take a look at the sub amps there too. http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searc...FTOKEN=35273290 Edited April 20, 2009 by BobbyG2 Quote *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickyMcD Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 P.Audio will have drivers that may suit your needs. Also, see if you can scrounge up some Vifa drivers, they appear around the place for rather cheap. A pair of Vifa full range drivers and a pair of quality soft diaphragm high frequency drivers in well built enclosures should do the trick just fine.
