    Looking for a cheap..

    home theater in a box (one for my bedroom) its about 15x13. I'd like to spend under 100 bucks and I really don't care about the wattage. If it has a DVD player built in thats a plus. So far the best deal I've found is this at CC. http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/...Review.do#tabs...

    Bad issue with my cables?

    I had a set of component cables that were connected to the 2 audio ones also, but I didn't need the audio ones so I ripped the cables down the middle to split the 3 component cables from the 2 audio ones. You can now see some of the copper wire on the component cable side. Is this bad? Howard

    Buying new speakers or home theater system

    Right now I got a really junky Kenwood hometheater system, not really upgradeable because of how you have to plug the speakers into the sub, then into the receiver, so I'm doing some shopping for a new one, hopefully around 500 watts and has DTS, but I can't really afford to pay more then 450...
