hell i dunno how much, i am clueless about home audio. i can do car audio, but im a complete noob to this HT crap.
how much money should i set aside for speakers then?
$500, including the center channel, is more reasonable...the sub would be another $200 or so.

k. 500 it is.
now, point me in the right direction, if you would. :)
How much power do you have to play with?
CSS 4.5" full range drivers, or WR125's with tweets, would be a nice setup for that budget...probably save you some off that as well :)
i was thinkin this:

WHAT DOES EVERYbody think?? what kinda crossover is recommended for this too??
The RS's are solid drivers, hard to go wrong with them...
As for Xovers, I'd talk to Ology Audio, as he knows what those drivers like :)
Not sure if you'd need a Zobel on those tweets, don't think you would...

i have power, no nothing yet.
doing this all from the ground up.
i was gonna get speakers, then power to match them.
then i was gonna get a sub, then power for it as well.
is this a crappy thought process?
