Alright well here's what im thinking i need, and I really have no idea where to start for HT. I want a receiver that is at least 4 channels at around 100w per channel, i need something to run a 12 inch sub (plate amp?,not really sure on this one), and i have some old speakers i could use, but what do you recommend for some new ones (nothing too fancy). This system will mostly be used for a party type atmosphere so loud is good. I'm not looking to spend a ton, around 200 for a receiver and 200 for the amp and whatever on the speakers. yeah i didn't search im lazy so flame if ya want....thanks guys
