SO my old Phillips Surround sound , that i bought for $100 on black friday 2 years ago, finally the subwoofer blew. I have a small room and i rent so i wasnt going to go buy some expensive ass surround sound system that can cost upwards of $3000 for what i really want. I just wanted a home theatre in a box that sounded good.

This is what i settled on:

nice setup... i don't care what people say about home theaters in the box... its easy and cheap and some are awesome sounding.

i'm still rocking an older Philips system; 5.1 in 2.1 setup - hdmi, 1080i upconvert, etc... sick as system and it is dirt cheap online (http://cgi.ebay.com/Philips-HTS6500-2-1-HDMI-DVD-DIVX-Home-Theater-System_W0QQitemZ220368262884QQcmdZViewItemQQptZHom e_Theater_in_a_Box?hash=item220368262884&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) now

as much as i hate shopping there, Best BUy. IT was a good price compared to online (ebay has them for $375 with free shipping so the savings were only like $40)

On items like this i like to buy from a store so if there is any problems i can return it or exchange it without having to worry about shipping, etc
