    Beginner in need of help for Home Theater (Gaming/TV/Movies)

    We kinda need to know what your buget it is, how much space you have, are you doing a 5.1, or 7.1? Personally I'd just go with a 5.1 setup and possibly add on later like I'm planning. You can save a lot of money by buying equipment used, but there is some items you should just new and get a...

    My Current Set-Up (Pics)

    Are there speakers in the rear? I can't see any in the picture, any problems with the bigger JBL's sliding around on the subwoofers? I used to use mine as a end table, then the lamp fell off lol:)

    New Guys first setup with questions!

    Yeah it was just getting pretty sketchy, when I first asked for pictures I asked him to send them to my phone and if he could call me or text me with more details on it and he wouldn't call me, and he wouldn't even give me his name or what part of York, PA he lived in cause I asked him if he was...

    He emailed me back saying he had another person interested and he doesn't want to meet at his house. Said he would tell the other guy its sold, if I gave him 300. I'm just gonna let this go and look for something else. It sounds like a scam just to try and get more money and I don't like that.

    When I asked him about meeting up I mentioned I'd like to meet at his house possibly to listen to it, but he hasn't responded yet. It takes him a day or two between emails so I'll prolly know Monday/Tuesday. If not and he wants to meet some where halfway between were I live and York I'll have my...

Type A you said you spend 1200 on two of those...

    Best home theatre system for $400 or less?

    Someone on ebay is selling Insignia party packs on ebay for like 400 dollars. Its a 40 inch LCD and a Insignia 5.1 reciever and speakers. Its actually a really nice setup. I think its made by Onkyo, the subwoofer is a monster and hits pretty good. Speakers are so-so but you can easily upgrade...

    Dog Claws on leather Seating

    Dude SHO's are so sweet, I had a 91? Black with black interior, and my '97 Saab 9000 Aero. Ultimate sleepers, smoked little Jap cars at the drags all day long. But yes either booties or towels is the best method of protection your seating from dogs, applies for children too. :D

    New Guys first setup with questions!

    I might step up my budget to the VTF-2 MK4 it says it can slam 18hz which would be pretty sweet as you said. I think one of those with ButtKickers would be epic. But I am looking around at used too. The one electronic store near me has a brand of subwoofer called Jamo, anyone hear of them...

    Dog Claws on leather Seating

    Even high grades of leather will scatch easily. Probably easier than a leather polyester vinyl blend does. Your best bet would be to lay down a towel or blanket where the dogs sit or to make sure you keep their nails trimmed and filed. We have a leather vinyl blend LazBoy in our living room...

    The only subs we really have that seem like they would actually be a upgrade is the Klipsch SW-450 its says 450 watts but I believe its actually like 200 rms, its 469.99 but I think we have a sale coming up plus we have a open box one and I get a discount so I could prolly get it for around...

    The glass shelves have rubber suction cups that separate them and the metal stand so I imagine thats supposed to help prevent rattling and from the glass slipping. For now I think I'll take your advice and move the subwoofer to the far left wall as it spans the entire lenght of the room. Any...
