setting up a hometheater with power supply questions?

[sue bee 10+ year member]

does anyone have any feedback on power supplies, specifically the pyramid ones?

im thinking about getting one and running a system that will look like this:

1 sub, 300 watts rms

2, maybe 4 speakers, 100 watts rms each

maybe 2 midbass instead of 2 speakers, 150 watts each.

if i want to be able to hook up a tv to this, and a dvd player and all that, would i be able to do it with a hu?

if not, what are my options for a ht reciever?

should i go with a 5 chan amp?

how many watts rms amp can the power supply take?

any help is appreciated and suggestions are too.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Don't ghetto it, please...

should i go with a 5 chan amp?

Ideally, you could go with a 5 channel amp and preamp/processor combo, but I'm not sure you're ready for that sort of thing yet...

Oh, and post in the right sections please //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

How much are you looking to spend? That'll pretty much determine what you end up with...

Give me a number to work with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

$500? $700?

$100. im not that concerned with the equipment as far as i am what type of equipment. i dont need recomendations for equip, but ill take them. i want to know the cheapest way to get a ht with a car subwoofer.

Go to Walmart and get a home theater kit in a box.

As for the sub, maybe you can take apart the sub that comes with it and find a way to hook your sub up to it.

That's really.

What do you expect for $100? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It's hard to find decent 12VDC subwoofer amps for that price, much less 120VAC ones...

[sue bee 10+ year member]

gesys. anybody got info?

i need a cheap system, 100 is arbitrary.

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

What do you want me to tell you?

If $100 is arbitrary, tell me what you can spend. Anything less than $150, and you're stuck with HTIB's. Sorry, but this stuff doesn't come free.

 

[sue bee 10+ year member]

ok fine, $150-250. work in that range and give me options.
