First off, I do not know too much about home audio/video. I am a car audio guy. Front stage + sub is all i know. Have no idea how this 5.1/7.1 or whatever works.
The project:
Want to make a killer gaming set up in a room about 20ftx30ft. I am currently using a PS3 and a Sharp Aquos 40" http://www.crutchfield.com/p_28440E67/Sharp-LC-40E67UN.html?tp=161. So I have the console and tv. Now i need everything else. I have about $1000 to work with.
The questions:
Dont know much about this digital stuff. 5.1 vs 7.1? HDMI vs Component? I know that digital is all about 0's and 1's so does it matter the quality of the cables? 2way vs 2.5way vs 3way towers? Center Channel? What receivers should i consider?
The design:
Want to build some sweet looking towers using maybe CSS SDX7 www.creativesound.ca/details.php as midbass and MarkAudio ALPAIR5 www.creativesound.ca/details.php as mid/ tweet. I think the looks of these drivers are incredible. Any other cool looking stuff out there? How would i build the center channel? As far as sub goes i think i want to use 3 of 4 of those SDX7's in a common chamber port design sitting under the tv stand that matches the towers. Bad idea? How much will the surrounds be used? Can i go cheaper in that area?
