i'd be suprised if you COULDNT do that... I know a lot of people who just have the crappy little $150 sattelite 5.1 system with the small bass box. If my post (too lazy to read it again) suggested otherwise then i should have worded it a bit more.

ok i re-read what i said, yeah, i see how you could take the meaning of that, what i meant was my audio rig is better than any PC based sound system (all within, controlled, and powered by PC cards and components, which is what i am used to seeing people do)
Hook a PC with a bitchin audio card via Coax or Fiber to the stereo and yeah it will be on par with xbox.

yeah, i know a PC is a hell of a lot more versatile, and can certainly exceed a 360 in graphics and sound.... but not for 400 bucks. lol....

There is a guy i work with, man, his shit is crazy.. he has multiple PC's rigged in with his audio system, the pic is of his basement. he has his stuff all rigged and set up with what i think is a wireless tablet pc he can basically punch in any song in the planet, his system will get online, find it, rip it, store it in one of the various Mp3 banks that he has, and he can play it in any room of his house.
so... yeah.. PC CAN definatly do cool stuff for music.

Check the pic. This is his basement.
Personally, i think the system is overkill, ill bet it would be a bitch to diagnose a ground-loop-hum in this rig.

Oh yeah, those tower speakers i believe are Defintive Technology BP3000's

each tower has 2 tweeters and 4 woofers, half facing the front and half facing the rear

Each one also contains a 1000w (yes, 1,000, not 100) watt 15inch side firing subwoofer, with a frequency responce that drops to 15hz +/- 3db.

freakin monsters.

I had 2 12" 1000w subs in my car... is that good?

lol

LOL...

Yah but car audio and home audio are 2 totally different beasts

In a home setup, most people run with 100-250w subwoofers. I have 2 velodynes subs that are 200rms and 600peak. I can knock shit off my walls with that pair of subs. I get dead spots, but when yer sittin on the couch and something blows up, man you feel it.

Car audio just dosent seem to have the same impact per watt, i think it is the lower current they are running, but a couple 1000W' 12's isnt that unheared of in car audio.

Not many people boast that type of power with a higher current amplification.

Lets just say, these towers produce the same kidneymassaging effect for and entire basment with what a couple quality 1000w amps with a pair of 12s in the cab of a car will achieve.

you put the 1000w car amps and 12's in the basement, the effect will not be nearly thre same....

car audio is deisgned for near-field listening though... its all different...

lol...

yah... its all different i suppose...

the better guitar amps are lower wattage... so i guess that just shows to go ya

lol... my old toomate used to have a tube twin amp.... they are usually lower wattage... the Fender Twin

i want a fender tube amp

edit...

low wattage... cause high wattage distorts the guitar and sounds shitty

All of that equipment on that dinky ass TV.

I understand what your saying, but I think your wrong. ha ha ha. There is nothing wrong with buying something and selling it for more if the demand is there.....I'm the least shady person you'd ever meet so if I thought there was even a hint of it being shady I wouldn't do it.....If I were to put the PS3 BOX on ebay and try to sell it for $800 then that would be shady, but buying a product that is in demand and selling it legally for a profit is not shady.....as a matter of fact it's kind of the American way if you really think about it.....isn't the stock market kinda like that? Buy shares for $1 and sell them for $5 to make a profit.......not sure if that's a good analogy or not, but it made sense in my head! ha ha
