    Thanks Robert, I will try to look for one that fits me. In the meantime, what do you recommend for a receiver? My budget is $150 and I don't mind used ones.

    I am assuming he has nothing to begin with. So with $1000, you can probably build a HT with the followings $100 Blu Ray Player (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=blue+ray+player) $200 Onkyo/Yamaha Receiver...

    David, According to the site (http://www.dolby.com/us/en/consumer/setup/connection-guide/home-theater-speaker-guide/index.html#), Dolby does not advice you to put the subwoofer in the corner as the sound gets too muddy. But since you say putting it in the corner may potentially give the best...

    I meant $200 for an amp and a sub, and cheaper the better. It is extremely hard to find 12x12' cutout in-wall sub though. Thanks for the info, I am learning more and more as I browse this forum :cool:

    Technical Question on cables

    I have a wire hanging out with no end, and I need to make one to connect to the subwoofer. From my understanding, this is a RG6 cable and I need to put a male RCA end to it. So I went onto Monoprice and found this...

    IR Remote Extender for HT

    As I am building my HT, I realized I need to run the wires for IR remote extender before putting the walls up. From my knowledge, CAT5 would be the wire I need, and on the receive end, I will have to connect it to the IR Receiver. On the send end, I will have an IR control box and have it...

    Hey Jason, I listened to the system and I like the sound. I bought the speakers and the receiver. I plan on using the SAT for the left and right speakers for now. I also bought BIC V1220 bass to go with it. Thanks for the help!

    Hey Robert, Please fill me in with the info with subs. I didn't even know you needed an amp, I thought you get the power from an 120v outlet. What would be a budget sub and amp for around $200? The cutout is 12" by 11.5" if that helps any.

    The holes are 8.4 inches in diameter. Here are the pictures of how it looks like now. In other rooms, I found these two speakers. I don't now if these are the ones that were in the living room as well.

    Well, the holes already have wires all configured to the media station, to go with the custom fitted TV in the wall. So since it isn't too much work to do, I would like to utilize what's already given.

    In-Ceiling Speaker recommendation

    I have recently bought a house and I have 5 holes in living room for 5.1 channel plus one subwoofer in-wall. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some good in-ceiling speakers and an in-wall subwoofer to go with it. Also, what would be a good receiver to go with these? I tried to look...

    Hi David, Thanks for the reply. I am definitely looking for in-wall speakers. I am mainly looking for 7.1 system along with a sub and a receiver that'll go with it. Do you know any good system that's within $1000 range altogether? Thanks!

    The guy who's supposed to be doing wiring tomorrow gave me list of speakers he could get. He told me that he'd be getting these speakers at discounted price. Are these fair price? And what is the best one for the buck for a 7.1 system? Thanks! AVI Solutions -- In-wall/ceiling Price Sheet 255CLS...

    Hey guys, I recently bought a bank owned house and previous owner had a theater room. Unfortunately, everything got torn down and I'm left with a room with wood frames with wires hanging around. Good news is, I have unlimited options as to how I can set this room up. But the bad news is I am...
