Well I bought a house that is 102 year old LOl.

Now I need CHEAP in wall speakers/ I want to be able to run TRUE THX sound tho(speaker wise).

SO I'm looking at these
http://www.provantage.com/pyle-pd-iw65~7PYLE00K.htm

$29.94 for a pair of them

Now for true I need 7 speakers.

Two in the back

Two on the side

Three in the front


That's 90 dollars plus shipping.....


BUT I might install this as one of the fronts

http://www.a1components.com/itemdisplayn.aspx?item=11374




Now I need to find a CHEAP SUB. Also a Refurbished or used 7.1 Receiver, and or I will wire the speakers together with a 5.1 Receiver.




I also need a Digital TV Converter box. Also would like one that has HDMI so I could use my 24'' Computer monitor as a TV. Might do that in my arcade machine tho....


I have TWO 27'' TVs. Would there be a way to tie them together for a larger screen? I could take the tubes out, and then place them together to kill the gap in between them.

I like in wall speakers. They are hidden, and also work very well.

Well I bought a house that is 102 year old LOl.

That's not too old.

City records have no records before 1872 for my house. But the house foundation dates from the 1830's because of the constuction of the first bridge. There must have been another kind of house before because this town (suburb now) dates from the early 1700's. I think my house has seen a lot of change in 300 years.

I like knowing about the history of what i call home.
