Audio Speakers Plans

I own a 1996 New Yorker and have bought speakers and head unit for it and am saving up for a subwoofer or two. Not sure how to go about putting it all together just working with the speakers for now what do I need like what kind of wiring or whatever? I know how to install a head unit but as for speakers should I put them inside the door where the old speakers are or like in the trunk or in the floor board and just put somethign over it or what? Anything like that would be so extremely helpful thanks so much.
and I'm planning on buying an aplifier but not completely sure yet working with speakers and head unit so far what do I need and so on? Any instructions on the internet or somethign would be great, thanks so much.

OK, so it looks like you don't wanna spend a lot of money, understandable. You are also saying you may buy an amp, so I suppose you want to live it upgradable. You'll need your basic toolbox (this is not hard at all) You are definetly going to need a lor of speaker wire, I recomend buy it by the coil, is cheaper that way; You can go old style by using electrical tape (it gets messy with time and heat), or get a wireing kit from wallmart (my prefered store)(they go from 10 to 50 bucks) is much more clean and last longer, no sticky wires when you decide to upgrade. About the speakers placement, if you are going to implant the bass separate, save the pain and put them where they are already easy to install(the doors) since you are not going to requiere bass from them, resonance won't be a problem (bass from the subs will overide that). I do recomend to get a pair of separate tweeters (they'll make a huge difference in sound quality, I promisse you), I recomend PowerAcoustik NB1(with the K), I paid 12 buck for mine and they sound better than my old ones(80 dollars 300w Kenwood KFCT207, burned out, what a shame). Place them where you have clear eyesight(it's easy they are semi small). I you want cheap bang for the buck on the bass, I recomend Lighting Audio subs, not a great as high end sbut for what they cost you'll be very happy since they don't requiere a lot of power so you'll save money on a cheap amp though. Make sure you turn down the bass for the door speakers and the tweeters all the way or you'll cause distorsion, you'll get plenty of that (bass) from the subs. Just keep the lows and highs separate. Follow my instructions and you'll have a nice clear and crisp sound. For any questions or recomendation feel free to e-mail me, this is my hoby, and I my pay is all the fun I get from doing it. One more thing, make sure you fix all the raddling your car is going to make or I'm gonna come over and hit you in the head with your own subs.LOL just kidding.

copyright © AceTechHD Studios www.onkyousa.com A Quick look at my AV receiver and speakers and me talking about future plans for my channel

I bought a Sony KLV32U100 32" Bravia HDTV Tunerless LCD Monitor. I have a Logitech X-530 5.1 Speaker System for computers. Would there be a special cable for me to plug into that monitor to use the 5.1 speakers as the dominant audio source? I also plan to use a digital cable box with this monitor and use the sound from the speakers. Can I do this?

Can someone please help me?

You will need a regular AV cable only using the Red and White parts of it. Plug it into your TV's audio output in the back and then into the surround sound system and then Go into your TV's Settings and you will be able to disable the TV's speakers from there. When ur cable box comes you just unplug it from behind your TV and plug it into you cable boxes output and the video will go to the TV. If you have a problem you can call me from my website below.

Hi I have 38'' Philips HDTV/LCD & Philips Blu-ray player. Now I want to plan of having a home theater for summer. But to do that, do I need 2 items? The surround sound speakers & audio receiver right? And how do I know the audio receiver supports 7.1 channel? Thank you.
My Philips Blu-ray player it could support 7.1 channel,5.1 channel & Dolby True HD. And as for the price, about $500 for audio receiver & surround sound speakers. Maybe Sony,Philips or Bose brand.

You will need a 7.1 channel receiver, if you want a 7.1 system. It usually says it on the receiver (maybe a sticker), but you could also browse online.

MAKE SURE however, that your receiver has HDMI inputs/outputs, if you want to get the best sound processing from your system. I bought a Pioneer THX certified receiver 3 years ago, and recently purchased a 52" Pioneer Elite plasma television. When they came out to hook everything up, they asked me if my receiver had HDMI, and I said "oh yeah, this baby has everything." Well, it didn't, and now I'm left with a $1800.00 out-dated receiver. Good luck.

One more thing, get a receiver that has DTS capabilities as well. You won't regret it.

Pioneer is pretty good, but when I do it again in a few months, I will go with Harmon Kardon first, Onkyo second, and Yamaha third, because I'm going to be ebaying my Pioneer.

Hi was planning buying a 7.1 Channel for my HDTV. When I made more research, I also going to need a Audio Receiver because you can't not set the 7.1 Channel Speakers in the back of the HDTV. I check Bestbuy & Amazon online & I only find a (7.1 Channel/DVD Player) & I use my PS3 for Blu-ray movies. Any tips or link it will be great! Thanks!

First, you are right that you need a 7.1 AVR to have any chance of getting 7.1 sound. BUT ... there is VERY little 7.1 channel sound (a few Blu-ray movies) and frankly unless you have a fairly large room it is not going to provide much advantage. However, all 7.1 setups can also be used as 5.1 or 6.1 systems.

There are any number of 7.1 AVRs available (See Best Buy or numerous other stores) starting at about $250 and going to several thousand. Brands such as Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon are all excellent choices.

A 7.1 receiver can also be used (in many cases) to power BOTH a 5.1 surround speaker array AND a separate stereo pair of speekrs in a 2nd room (or zone). Note you will need 7 speakers plus a subwoofer to hook it all up!

See the link for one listing of the "best" midrange 7.1 receivers.

I'm in the market for an home audio system to go with Samsung UN55B8000. Finding the right TV wasn't so hard, I'm having a very hard time choosing between audio systems.

I plan to listen to music from time to time, however the main function will be movies, TV (Mostly Sports) and games.

The TV is around 10' from viewing position in a 10' high ceiling living room.
I don't know if that's even relevant when choosing a sound system, but I thought it might matter for better acoustics.

Should I even consider a 7.1 system?
I never even considered a 7.1 system, until I began my search.
It seems like I could end up kicking myself later on, if I don't get a 7.1 system now.
I plan to keep this entire home theater system for a long time, perhaps until there's another ground breaking change in entertainment systems, like HDTV.

My price range is around $2,000, however I'm willing to take recommendations over my range, if the extra cost is justified.
I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I do have ears and I'd like to pick the best audio system for my price range. :)

I have looked into Klipsch and Definitive Technology speakers.
For receiver, I've looked into Onkyo, Denon and Pioneer.
Here are links to specific models, I've considered.

Please help me choose the right system.
Any recommendations, help, advice, etc will be appreciated.
Please, please do not reply with a simple brand name or model, this wouldn't help me much at all.

Thank you in advance! :)
Home theater system will be placed in a 15' x 20' living area, but the area extends to dining room, kitchen, hallway, etc.
What I mean is that the area is in the open and not closed with walls.

Do you like mine?I think Onkyo 806 is too much for you, how big is your room? If you are ok with 90 watts why go for 130, mine is OnkyoTX-SR605 and the speakers are all JBL I made the installation , wires inside the walls, everything a $600 value. E mail me if you like it. I guarantee you this toy sounds great!
You can get the receiver online if you want to, I got it in a store (Miami) and the speakers in Best Buy, waiting for a coupon or a sale, saved few hundreds.
