Best 5.1 system possible for $1000?

[littleitaly1990]

Hey guys, I need some ideas on a home theater system with 5.1 speakers for 1000 bucks total, including reciever. It's for my fraternity, so I'm willing to sacrifice quality a little for loudness and good bass...any help would be appreciated!

check out yamaha amps and JBL speakers, ive got a 5.1 amp and system on my PC for my recording studio. its only 1 8" but its pretty damn good for being in a room. i think i payed around $600 for the whole setup because i got the speakers open box at Best Buy. my Yamaha amp also has HD video in and out so you can run an entire entertainment system on it

I guess I should have specified more...that looks like a pretty baller set-up for movies and such but I'm looking more for music for a 200+ person party, so 4 channels would actually be fine....this is mainly for music for my fraternity, so big and loud is best...thanks though.

Thats kinda what I figured at first...but you said 5.1. In that case, I would hit up parts express and check out there powered PA speakers like the jbl's they will fuckin get straight loud.

not gonna lie, looking at these things is like looking at binary code for me....Sorta just staring at a wall of prices...I can do wiring/impedence matching but how the hell do I know whats better lol...

Here is a pretty basic setup that wont be hard to setup and still get plenty loud for a frat house. I have two of these PA speakers and they can shake my house pretty good.
