I need a connect there but the dude I know that still work there scary as hell with his discount he swear they watch his every move he dont even use it for his own family he told me.

That's how my brother's best friend is, that's why it caught me off guard how cool this guy I know was about it.

I only think he's been working there for a little over a year or so that might be why. He gave me the receipt and everything, but I know if I were to return it he'd be done



Seems like I know more about how strict this shyt than he does.



I ain't gonna return it though, if something's wrong I'll just hit him up and let him know I need it swapped out

Just got a Yamaha HTIB that's 429.99+ tax for 279.99. It was 310 after taxes with 2 year protection on it, I gave buddy 350 just to keep that door open



Now he's like whenever you need something, hit me up.

should have skipped that 2 year protection plan. the first year overlaps with the manufacture's warranty and if it doesn't break in that first year the odds of it breaking in the second are slim.

My question is, 3 xboxs?2wii u's? Really?

i can maybe understand the three 360s cause two of them are older but i barely play my one Wii U i would never buy a second one.

that was my intentions when getting them. i might upgrade to better speakers though cause these didn't cost too much
http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-SP-BS22-LR-Designed-Bookshelf-Loudspeakers/dp/B008NCD2LG i got the center and bookshelves from that seines.

 

[winb83]

anybody got any products to attach speaker wires to the walls without screws? i got a couple polk monitor 60s to use as fronts and replaced my center with a CS1 and i'm moving those bookshelves to the rear but i'll have to run the wire around the room.

I wish my set up looked that elegant. Though I'd prefer much more open spaces for the console cabinets. Don't wanna risk those over-heating.

Bought the Polk Monitor 60s and a CS1 center channel and moved my bookshelf speakers to the rear. Now I got a real 5.1 setup in the main room and a soundbar also for regular TV watching / PC use. I don't know how I got along without an av reciever before. Has 8 HDMI ins and two outputs and a couple of optical ins.

You gotta have at least one av receiver in the house those are the driving force behind any good home theater.

At home depot they have these clips that adhere to the wall that you can run wires through. That's what I use

Where y'all put your subwoofers at?

I have 2 receivers now.

Initially I wasn't going to get one for upstairs, but I just couldn't justify going with a soundbar for the price.
