    Speaker smoking

    The rooms only 14x12, I probably only needed 200 but I bought 300 just in case. I could have used less, but I was gonna wire up through the attic, the down a wall by my receiver. I didn't want wires hanging down my walls. Now I'm gonna put the whole thing on hold for a month or so, as I have...

    Speaker smoking

    Yeah, I bought it from home depot. 40$/100ft of 14awg. I was gonna buy it off ebay, but I didn't want to wait for it to be shipped. I can't seem to find the receipt either, I hope they'll accept a return without it.

    Speaker smoking

    So I just tested out my speakers, onkyo sks-ht540b, hooked up to a denon avr-1707. All sounded fine until I heard a little sizzle and the front right channel speaker started smoking.

    Decent cheap 7.1 speaker system

    Thanks for all the help. I have decided to go with the onkyo sks-ht540. My friend has one of the only ht in a box deals, that he got probably 4 or 5 years ago, told me he paid like 600 or 700 for the whole thing, including the receievr. I always thought it was a couple thousand dollar system...

    Decent cheap 7.1 speaker system

    I could do that, but then It would take a few months before I could get it all put together. I'm not looking for a top of the line setup, just something that would work for my bedroom that isn't that big (11x14). I would get floor speakers but my room is crowded already so they're gonna have to...

    Decent cheap 7.1 speaker system

    Lets say I got these : SS-B3000 | Performance Bookshelf Speakers | Sony | SonyStyle USA . Would it affect the sound if I had then horizontally on my wall instead of vertically? I'm a total newb with this stuff. Also, would it be better to piece together a system with those Sony speakers or just...

    Decent cheap 7.1 speaker system

    I just bought a denon avr-1707, now I need to get speakers for it. What would be the best set for listening to music and watching movies that I could pick up at around 300$? Thanks

    Cheap decent ht setup

    I went with the dennon avr-1707. Hopefully it sounds decent. It's gotta sound better then my old pc speakers. Now I just gotta find speakers for it.

    Cheap decent ht setup

    Also, I will be using it to listen to music just as much as for movies, so what would be the best sounding way to go in stereo mode? Thanks

    Cheap decent ht setup

    I am looking for a cheap receiver that will sound good. A friend recommended the denon avr-1706, which I could pick up at under 200$, But then I noticed they have a new model, the 1707, which looks almost the same, but I can get it cheaper. So Is the 1706 better? Or should I go with the 1707? I...
