    Why do home theater speakers have such high resistance?

    Thank you very much for the detailed response. I wish I understood more about electricity, but I think I followed everything that you said. I was hoping that I could give you the specific set up that I am planning and then you could maybe make some recommendations. The amplifier is a rockford...

    So I would have to run 5 lines to the projector. The 3 component video cords, a yellow for composite video, and a VGA cord?

    What to connect speakers to?

    One final question, I know that they make speaker wires that are rated to go through walls, but do they make video cables that specifically say that, or are they all able to go through walls, thanks.

    What to connect speakers to?

    This may sound like a stupid question, but does component video also carry audio? Or do I have to run 5 cables? Thanks. And when you said that I needed to run three separate wires, could I run something like this? It is wrapped so it is only one cable, thanks.

    In reading the manual to the receiver which is found here: http://www.usa.denon.com/avr2802_ownersmanual.pdf I cant figure out where to put the speaker wires because there are too many ports, and system a and system b things. I have 5 speakers and a sub woofer. I also have gotten another center...

    What to connect speakers to?

    Good news, I have gotten a receiver, and for even less than my speakers, free! It is a Denon AVR-2802. I pretty sure this will service all that I need. I do have one question though. I am looking at the back, which looks exactly like this: http://www.superfi.co.uk/images/avr2802rearlg.jpg and...

    OK that post really cleared things up, thanks. So, can you reccomend any software for recording tv. Sadly, my computer only has xp which does not have media center.

    What to connect speakers to?

    So, first of all, I would get better quality by connecting things straight to the projector than going through a receiver? If my DVD player does not have green,blue,red RCA outputs, would I have to buy a different one. My other option would use the DVD player on my computer, and I don't know...

    What to connect speakers to?

    So the receivers that you are recommending, will make surround sound, like the sound switching from speaker to speaker with the action on TV? Also, my main goal is to get a projector, and if I get one with an audio out, I should be able use that with these speakers and receiver also? Thanks...

    What to connect speakers to?

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, the base is powered, as I have to plug it into the wall. The sub also connects with a 3.5 mm headphone audio in I am pretty sure. The only speaker with writing on it is the sub. This is what it says. Classic Model NO: SP-700S ACTIVE SUBWOOFER SYSTEM POWER...

    What to connect speakers to?

    I have recently acquired 5 speakers and a sub woofer. I don't really think I need the sub woofer, but I thought I would mention it. The five speakers that I have just have speaker wire coming out of them. I am new to speakers, and audio, but what I have researched so far is that I have to...
